Tab previews and asterisk

Post by glocal »

The asterisk (meaning modified but unsaved) should also appear on the drop-down list of open tabs.

It would be good to have tab previews when hovering over the tab (ideally with content mouse-scrollable like with TabMixPlus for FF) and on the drop-down list of tabs.

I forgot one more :) Clicking on the drop-down list button while the menu is visible should close the menu, not close and re-open it. That's the convention. It may be a tiny (and common) issue, but it's annoying when you actually want to close the menu.

None of these issues were taken on board, but can I say that the asterisk point in particular is very important. I often work with many tabs and finding every time which ones should be saved so that eg the updated version is uploaded to Dropbox before I shut down is a pain. With, say, 10+ tabs and long titles it takes a lot of left/right scrolling to check for asterisks, and you actually miss an unsaved tab easily. Incidentally, colours, italics, bold etc can be used to show different properties of tabs.

Yes, I am inclined to agree with you on this point. I will follow up with the dev team on these points in our next general meeting.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Cheers!
