When browsing through the treeview (something beginners do a lot), it seems every item I select gets opened in a new tab. If that particular item is of no interest, I have to remember to close that tab prior to moving onto the next item (something I often forget to do) or I wind up with a million things open in tabs, most of which I could care less about at the moment. Could a “new tab” button be implemented (the way most browsers with tabbing work) with the newly selected item being displayed in the currently selected tab? For now, I have a big sticky stuck to my monitor that says CLOSE TABS but in my excitement to discover new things… I forget resulting in a polluted tab pool.
Yeah, I can see your point.
Opening in the current tab would be more like a web browser.
Currently it works more like a text editor where each “file” is opened in a new tab. For example, this is how Eclipse works.
But unlike a text editor, Library View saves as soon as you leave a tab, so you can’t have multiple tabs with unsaved changes.
One option would be to only keep N tabs open and automatically close the least recently used one.
I’ll think about it. Thanks for the suggestion.
