I feel dumb asking this question, but I can't find solution to this myself.

When I open several files in editor and switch between them, I have problem finding currently opened file in project or files tree.

I used Eclipse before and every time I changed a tab with file, the project tree set focus for the same file. Is there a way to do something like this in NetBeans?
