Better network share supportΒ #86

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Handling network files via UNC path isn't implemented very nice. We are in a corporate environment, where we are accessing files on different network shares pretty often.
Accessing a share adds an entry \server\share to the tree view.
All but the last one of the network share entries are removed, when Notepad++ is restarted. But I seem to have no chance to remove this entry afterwards in the GUI. And I'm not sure, if it should be permanent at all...

Describe the solution you'd like

  • First, it would be nice if all network share entries would be temporary for a session in general
  • Since, there are some shares, I access on a regular basis, it would be nice to have a "Pin this server"/"Unpin this server" entry in the context menu to keep the current "last entry behavior" for some selected servers; so that they are treated like local disks
  • Third, it would be nice if shares would be grouped by server e.g. instead of adding
    \\server\a
    \\server\b
    \\anotherserver\c
    It would be nice to show them
    \\server
    ---->a
    ---->b
    \\anotherserver
    ---->c
