When tabs hit max number, replace oldest etc

Post by meteorquake »

When tabs reach their maximum number, currently the most recent is replaced (at least from browser opening)

I think the oldest one should be kicked off not the newest as the most recent ones are usually the ones of interest but to deal with wanting to control this a bit, on right-clicking a tab you could have some extra options (there are only 2, so plenty of space), namely

"Don't Reuse this tab" -- if all are set like this and XNView is at max tabs, it could then create a new tab that is over the limits

"New openings reuse this tab"

"Allow 5 more tabs" - this would not change the saved setting but would for the particular session override what the max tabs is considered to be

If some do like the existing situation of newest being replaced I think there could be a corresponding option so that the user is able to choose.

Wouldn't a pop-up offering alternative options be best?

And maybe also a checkbox option 'Make this default action'?
