In Notepad++ how to tell if tab files have been changed?

I notice in Notepad++ when you have  several files open at once that there's no indication that the file represented by a tab has been changed so needs to be uploaded. Normally IDEs put an asterisk to the right of the tab label for changed files.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

Yes, but if you click the hosts tab above to show that file there's no indication on the "new 9" tab that it needs to be saved.  I usually have about 8 files open simultaneously and when I want to save all my work and run the code I don't want to have select each tab first to see if it's red or not.

Ah!  Yes I can see a slight reddish tint on the disk icon for the tabs that have changed files.

Thanks.
