Often I open many files on the command line using wildcards.
Seems to me that bringing focus on last opened files it is right behavior when 
opened using UI.
Opening by command line parameters, should be the first opened file to have 
the focus.

Is there a trick to automate/force the focus on a particular tab?

understand.
Sometimes I need to open RAW and partially decoded emails with Nedit.
When these RAW files are encoded, do not use all byte values and Nedit can 
open them in write mode.
When these files are partially decoded (for example an attached image or word
processor file), Nedit do not let me to simply delete the binary part, and 
edit the body text part or simply re-save the text only part.

Is there a simple method to force write mode to only delete binary part and 
resave?

thank you in advance,
Valerio
