Multi rows for tabs

Post by mike76 »

I like to have many tabs opened in both panes. But i am limited of the number of the tabs i can open, because if i open too many the tabs width decreases and the tab names is hard to distinguish. If i have the option to open multiple row of tabs that would solve the problem because i could open as many tabs as i want.

Is it possible to include this option in XYplorer?

We have Tabsets to handle unlimited numbers of tabs.

Multi rows are not planned.

Well, tabsets are good but are not so convenient as the multi rows would be. Just saying.. And i don't think any other file manger has a multi row tabbed interface to compare with XYplorer.

actually, not going too far, TC has that -so it will be definitely comparable.

If you have so many open tabs, I assume some of them are locked. In that case I would suggest to give them a unique icon and then iconize them. This will make them very small but distinguishable.

I saw that Total Commander has the multi row tabs option but i think to stick with XYplorer. Total Commander might be more popular but XYplorer has a lot more user friendly interface and it is more flexible.

Multi row tabs would be fantastic.

I use Multi row in Firefox (TabMixPlus addon) and would love the option to use Multi row in more of my other tabbed MDI apps

Please reconsider this feature Admin.

For me, Multi Row Tabs would be fantastic too. I'm using this in Firefox too all the time.

Please, Admin.

I have 181 tabs in Firefox of which 177 are iconized with FaviconizeTab.

Which control manage tabs in XYplorer? TabStrip support multi-rows.

In XY everything is ownerdrawn (i.e. no 3rd party controls).
