Hide tabs, how to see what files opened in Viewer?

Post by orbspider »

When Tabs are hidden (ie Viewer windows) how can we switch between files opened in Viewer, and how do we know how many files are being viewed?

note: it saves some space on a small screen when hiding the tabs.

Its easy to switch back to Browser with the toolbar button, but I can't get back to the viewed files after that.

It would be nice to have an alternative indication of Viewer windows opened, such as numbers |1|2|3|4| on the same level as the Menu bar (but that may be impossible to code?) - or on the status bar?

|1| would always default to Browser, unless you have |Browser button|1|2|3|4|

Could map SHIFT-TAB to switch between tabs and have a pop-up tab cycling window? I think that would be very easy UI.

Or perhaps have the Window menu item back from Classic that is missing in MP?
If yes, than also the Tile menu options, together with a list of opened windows?
