Group tabs together based on path rules

[ProLoser]

This package is cool in concept and doesn't have to be limited to just C type projects.

If there was some sort of regex expression or conditional rules that I could specify to group tabs together, this would be really cool. Hopefully with the option of having tokens that represent the filename, extension and path.

For instance, it'd be cool if we could automatically group these situations together:

// Grouping by filename (in same folder)
module/
  projects/
    projects.html
    projects.js
    projects.css
// becomes:
// [ projects.html | .js | .css ]
// [ .html | projects.js | .js ]

// Grouping by folder path
component1/
  feature1/
     a.js
     b.js
     c.js
  feature2/
     a.js
     b.js
     c.js
component2/
  feature1/
     a.js
     b.js
     c.js
// becomes:
// [ component1/feature1/a.js | b.js | c.js ]
// [ a.js | component1/feature2/b.js | c.js ]

// Grouping src and tests
src/
  app/
    plugins/
      feature1.js
      feature1.spec.js
// becomes:
// [ feature1.js | .spec.js ]
// [ feature1.spec.js | .js ]

// Grouping src and tests (across trees)
src/
  app/
    plugins/
      feature1.js
test/
  app/
    plugins/
      feature1.spec.js
// becomes:
// [ src/../feature1.js | test/.. ]
// [ src/.. | test/../feature1.spec.js ]

You would use the duplicate information as the primary label for the group, and the discrepencies would be how you specify each tab in the group

Additionally, you could add an option to auto-open the sibling files of the group when you open one of the files.

excellent ideas. you can kludge the html/js/css pairing by adding those extensions to both the header and source extensions in the plugin settings. it almost works. There is definitely a better way.

Got most of what you requested, still need to implement putting the directory information in the tab

That's awesome! Actually, I've been futzing with this plugin: https://github.com/paulpflug/foldername-tabs which is a great compact way to display the folder ancestry. Would be cool if they could be used together or something (or their design was used as some inspiration) instead of trying to cram everything onto the same horizontal space. Iunno, just ideas.

It could be my theme, but I'm noticing that the tabs are far too small. They aren't big enough for the .spec.js (perhaps because you hard-coded the width of the tab to accomodate for 1 or 2 letter file extensions?)

Do the tabs resize to fit their text or do the change size to hard-coded dimensions? Also note the fading effect (which could just be my theme not playing nicely).

This is my theme settings:

Moved small tab bug to new issue #5. Keeping this issue for adding Directory information to tab
