Tabs and larger projects
Reported by burningTyger | April 15th, 2011 @ 01:44 PM
I usually have small projects with few files open. But when I tried another project with easily 30 files open I found redcar and its tabs extremely cluttered. I couldn't find tabs and I couldn't really figure out which rule applied to whether a file became hidden or not. In case of that larger project a side view would have been better. So I always used the folder view to double click which was not perfect either as it doesn't feel right. Are there plans for different access modes? It's nothing major I guess but I really like Redcar and I want it to be perfect!

A side view is a neat idea, and easy to implement. Just a list of all open tabs?

yes, that would be perfect. Also with the ability to order by hand. A bit like Smultron (which I use for quick access to files only).

The top tab area could have an option to set the minimum size of tabs or something like that.
I think that memorize place (order) of opened tabs is easy, and hide tabs because of filename lenght is ugly.
My suggestion is to also give to user the choice of hide tabs (and then appear that >>x on right top as default), or show all of them but hiding only a part of filename end.

Wrote a plugin that handles most of this, though still need to add tab dragging. For the moment, tabs can be sorted by name, type, or notebook order:

Hi delisa,
Thanks a lot for this plugin it works here and I think this will do the job a lot better for larger projects. One more thing though, single clicking will feel a lot more like switching between open files instead of opening them. Just a gut feeling. -

Thanks for the input! I wondered which would be better between single- and double-clicking. :) It's a small change to switch, so I can put that in later this week, with the other changes in the todo list.

Don't forget you can use the fuzzy file finder for switching between open files as well. Or should we have a fuzzy finder just for open files?
