I find that there are generally two types of files that I like to open. Those that I intend to edit, or are key to my investigation, and those that are "trail droppings". That is, those that I am just passing through on my way to some destination.
It would be nice if there was a way to identify the "important" files, and close all others. For example, we certainly could add a "close all files that haven't been edited" option. Perhaps a file is considered "good" if it is opened from the ctrl-n or from the navigation bar, but not if it is a consequence of a find-declaration / find type / find usages kind of navigation. I don't know. It just seems after a while I find I have a lot of files open, when only a couple are actively in use.
