Tabbed browsing anyone?Tabbed browsing anyone?Posted May 12, 2004 16:54 UTC (Wed) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054)In reply to: Tabbed browsing anyone? by ranger Parent article: Living Down to a Low Standard (ComputerWorld)
Trust a GNOME user to think of a file manager only accessing one filesystem (or even the filesystems on only one machine);-).I'm not a Gnome user, I'm a KDE user. If tabbed browsing made it easier to work with multiple web pages, why should tabbed file management not make it easier to keep track of many filesystems.Ever tried to drag things between tabs? If you use a terminal emulator with multiple tabs (ie to work on multiple machines without having to chain your CTRL-A's to screen), you likely would benefit from using a tabbed file manager with support for fish:// (ie ssh), smb://, etc etc.fish://, smb://, sftp:// and so on are great. Tabs are great for web browsing. But that doesn't mean tabs are great for file management.

Tabbed browsing anyone? Posted May 13, 2004 10:27 UTC (Thu) by ayeomans (subscriber, #1848) [Link] As I mentioned in OSNews.com discussion, there are a couple of features missing from Konqueror tabs.One is support for drag-and-drop file moving between tabs - perhaps by making a tab pop to the top if you hover over it (like Windows program icons in the "Start" toolbar), or at least letting you drag-and-drop into tabs (like Firefox). The second, more tricky, is to allow the same tabbed folder management in "Save As" application dialogues. If you want to look at the metaphors, "tabbed folders" is a much closer metaphor of my desk-side filing cabinet, where I quickly move between folders for different activities.

[/QUOTE] Hello, drag'n'drop between tabs works for me here (SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.2.1...), just keep the pointer above the destination tab, and it will spring to front Cheers
