Generally this works well, but on the left window its not possible to
distinguish between different Navigator tabs. If those documents had titles
like
/<directory-name> Navigator
then when the tabs elide the RHS, at least some identification would be
available, eg
/purple Na | purple.h | purple.j | /traceur Na | ParseTreeVa |
If I'm feeling tidy I can arrange the tabs so the Navigator for a directory
is to the left of a set of tabs for files in that directory, but sometimes
I'm not....
Can't quite tell if you're merely suggesting better titles on the page, or you want some "tidyness management".
I am only suggesting better title on the Navigator page.
For "better titles", howzabout using some "interesting" unicode characters to indicate the type - at least to replace "Navigator"
- ⊙ - unicode-2299
- ☀ - unicode-2638
Wondering, for "tidyness management", whether we can use browser-specific extensions to do this. Don't the extension frameworks all have tab management capabilities?
Personally, I don't want to have to manage ANY browser tabs - I want everything in one tab. But that's me.
Until we stop writing programs that take up more than one screen we'll have to manage the UI.
