What is "Show image on tabs"?


I am in a spree to configure my IDE. Many things are explained in the good-old-Borland-help style.

For example under "Editor->Display" one can find a new feature called "Show image on tabs". And the Help page for it:

"Displays an icon on each tab in the Code Editor".

Oh... the glory of the Help page!

So, does anyone knows what this means? If I enable/disable it, I see no changes in my editor's look.


Solution

  • I tried this in Delphi 2009.

    In Delphi 2009, this setting controls the display of icons on the IDE's main tabs (IDE restart required for the change to take effect):

    Screenshot of editor with tab images

    Screenshot of editor without tab images

    Modern Delphi versions don't have such icons, as far as I know, so it seems like this setting no longer has any effect.
