@frost @bflipp @hareldan @Beckydog I have no issue with not having tabs. I don't see the need to add them to everything. Why would I want them on my file manager? I don't see an advantage there over multiple windows, esp when dragging files, which is my primary use for multiple windows...

@chloeraccoon @bflipp @hareldan @Beckydog Depends how you use the file manager. Personally we use tabs quite a lot, not for dragging files but for working in separate but oftentimes related-to-the-same-task folders (like export images for one art thing + export images for a different art thing), and we use split panes for drag and drop, and we sometimes use multiple windows for drag and drop and we should probably do that more actually.

@frost The only advantage to tabs in explorer is if dragging a file you go to the tab at the top and wait for the current view to change, instead of down to the taskbar. Split panes isn't a thing, you need multiple windows for that.

@frost And when windows are hidden behind things tabs means I'd need to go to the taskbar to bring explorer to the front, the to the top of that window to select the tab - the tabs don't appear as a window list on the application's taskbar icon, only the active tab is. Well, it tells you that there are tabs, but not what they are or allows you to select them...
