Thumbnail displays for all PDFs

Post by KTNguyen »

From the screenshot, There are only 5 thumbnails of PDfs appeared. However, I have more than 5 pdfs opened but they just stay on different tabs. Is there any way that I can use my mouse to hover and it will display all the PDFs file that I have opened?

I find it hard not to be able to locate the Pdf if it's on different tabs.

I'm using Windows 11.

Thank you for your help

Hello KTNguyen,

I believe this is handled by Windows and not by us directly.
On my screen I could show 8-9 separate tabs when I hover over the Editor (or Notepad with which I also tested) tabs correctly. Is there enough space on your screen for more tabs to appear horizontally?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, KTNguyen

Generally windows only shows 1 thumbnail for each window that is opened, not for each document, if you have multiple documents opened in each window, it would still only show the one thumbnail for that entire window, not one for each tab across all windows.

If you would like a single tab here for each document, you will want to pull each of those documents into their own window, or enable the options to open each new document in a new window. This is in the "preferences" under general > tabs and windows > setup:

I hope this helps!
