Hi, FYI all my work has been committed to Christian's SVN branch, so I have taken down the Launchpad bzr branch.

Another thing I didn't notice in gedit was the statusbar message when changing tabs using the "Documents" menu. I'll have a look into that for Nautilus too. > > Oh, maybe in Finder history or recent files menu in MacOS, I don't > remember exactly, but one of them or both should have the really > interesting feature to provide only the filename when it's unique and > the full path otherwise.

I think that should definitely be the default. Do you think it's worth adding a hidden GConf preference? >> (3) Open tab by middle clicking on folder in main view >> >> Currently in Christian's branch this is a double-middle-click, which >> is inconsistent - to me this operation seems analogous to >> middle-clicking a hyperlink in Epiphany.

I might implement that sometime soon but maybe not. I see no good reason for it to not be implemented eventually though :) If & when the tabs code lands in trunk, perhaps a new "Tabs" component should be added in bugzilla. > > PPS are you (and Christian) keeping track of feature in order to update > the user guide?

It's in the Changelog anyway, in case I forget or disappear off the face of the Earth. :) Thanks for all your suggestions!
