Working with multiple files - When a file is closed, rather than skipping to the last file, got to the next file in order
Description:
I have multiple files open at once.
When finished working on the first, if I close it, InDesign will skip to the last file that was opened, rather the next file in the order.
See attached - I closed “untitled 1” and it skipped to “untitled 5” rather than going to “untitled 2” which is next in line.
Why this would be valuable:
This interrupts an expected workflow to InDesign's usual left to right UI direction.
InDesign allows users to reorder the file tabs to suit their needs. Skipping to the end file in unexpected behaviour and switching back to the next file in order can be particularly annoying when you have a lot of files open and you need to select the one you want through the dropdown list.
This has also lead to problems for me in the past when lot of the files look the same, and I've started to edit the wrong file.
