Please read the comments in issue 54847: This task will be used to check in all sources related to the Google Summer Of Code project Tabbed Document Windows for OOo. What you can do now is that you can grab the extension from last years GSOC and install it into OOo to get the rudimentary tab functionality that now has been committed to the master. But Tabbed Documents is not just a technical problem (that currently is at least partially solved by issue 54847), it has more implications: - How can we make more than one tab visible at a time - How does the already existing tab functionality in Calc and Impress fit into the concept? - How should a user interface look like that allows to have several task windows each of them equipped with tabs? - Should each window containing tabs have its own backing window? etc. etc. All these are important user interface problems that have to be solved before we can implement the feature. Currently we are laying the technical ground for the first point of my list (multiple tabs visible). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I hope those who may be working on this issue consider the following: (1) Option of choice of where to place the tab bar (Top, Bottom, Left side or Right side - Kinda like Opera does) (2) Option of having the tab bar recede while working on the document (or clicking on a blank area of the document) and then appearing when the mouse is moved near to it. (3) Ability to turn it on or off. (4) Ability to have the tab bar automatically place itself in the desired location according to the profile of the individual that signs on to the computer.

I have voted for this comment, and I would like to add my own thoughts. The evolution of tabbed interfaces has been a gradual and interesting one. Tabbed interfaces can help tremendously when dealing with a lot of information. However, it should be remembered that the first or even subsequent attempts weren't always good. So, this issue shouldn't be evaluated in the light of a product from years ago, and points should be learned from successful interfaces. Firefox has been used as an example, and I believe it is a good one. Tabs are optional. If you would like to have several windows open, each with several tabs, that is possible. If you want one window open with several tabs, that is possible. If you want lots of windows open without any tabs, that is possible. Also, a tab bar only shows up in Firefox if multiple tabs are open. It's not an in-your-face feature. If tabs are implemented in OOo (and I hope they are), I would like the same flexibility because it is the reason why Firefox is able to appeal to users regardless of their preference for tabbed browsing. There shouldn't even be a need to turn off tabs because they shouldn't be obvious if a person doesn't want to use them. The behavior of tabs in Firefox seems like an obvious enhancement for OOo because as browsers are used to gather, organize, and create information, OOo is also used to gather, create, and organize information. The use of tabs in Firefox can be looked to for inspiration, and additional enhancements could even be made. It should be possible to not only move tabs around within a window, but also to move tabs from one window to another, to create windows from tabs, or to create tabs from windows. Being able to associate a group of files as a group of tabs would also have some obvious benefits for anyone working on a large project. I see this type of functionality as being of enormous immediate benefit to those without some type of virtual desktop functionality on their computers (mostly Windows users-the majority of the market), but I would also appreciate some of the more subtle benefits even when I am able to take advantage of virtual desktops. A lot of enhancements to the user interface are submitted for user experience evaluation. I believe that the user experience has already been proven with other programs that have tabbed interfaces. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

But here's a couple thoughts: 1. Allow the user to turn off the tabs, if desired. Some people actually prefer a non-tabbed experience (yes, I know, hard to understand, but they do) 2. It would be nice to allow the user to select where they want the tab bar to appear (something like how the start menu/taskbar can be moved in windows, but still inside openffice), then the user can decide where they like it. 3. Keep up the good work. your product rocks! - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I am a long-time OpenOffice user who is frequently working in anywhere from 4 - 10 different writer documents at a time and having so many windows open at once is confusing and also time-consuming to my work flow. As others have mentioned, the original reason I switched from IE to firefox was to take advantage of the power of tabbed browsing and this has enhanced my web usage beyond belief. The possibility of having only one OpenOffice window running with multiple file tabs and an option to place the tab bar at either the top/bottom or side of my window would have the same impact on my OpenOffice experience. I can't wait to see soem development in this area. Cheers, Z - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

This is a new functionality whose usefulness goes farther than simple nice experiences ( la M$), and even than the usefulnees we can have when browsing on internet. If we think a little bit, we will see that it is precisely this way -integrated handling of information through dossiers- that people try to do their work in every office, school, etc. A couple of examples: a dossier (a group of related information in the form of several files) about a prospective client; a dossier about a candidate for a vacancy; a dossier about an investment project; a dossier about a research or rapport at the school or university; a dossier with all the letters I have written to somebody; a dossier about... you name it. Now, which program do you think, can incorporate -I would even say it requires- this functionality in a natural way? M$, where you have all kind of niceties but without order (a very pleasant mess)? Or Open Office, which at its very base (and not like inM$ as only one more nicety) has the structure of templates, styles and navigator and the integration between its different modules from within each module? I think tabbed documents would be only a natural extension in OOo, but a very useful one especially in terms of work productivity (of course, it would be, besides, pleasant). If M$ would offer sth. comparable, it will have to change its approach (at least in relation to text treatment), and not only stuff a computer with useless niceties (after a whole year working with OOo I go sometimes back to look at Word. It feels like an elephant full bells and beads). I left M$ because of this kind of functionalities offered by OOo, because they allowed me to increase my productivity and efficiency, not because it was nicer (well, it was nicer for the quality of my work).

What better way than to offer tabs? Tabs make the experience unique to OOo and create value for working in OOo vs. others. This is a similar move that had to be made in the browser world. Firefox (and mozilla in general) has several features that allow it to be a better browsing experience than IE can offer and thus there are many users who choose Firefox, not simply not IE. We need people who choose this Office suite because it is unique, not because it is simply another option. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I got interested in this issue after attempting to edit a large multi-file master document and grew really frustrated with multiple individual windows when Calc already contains tabs for multiple spreadsheets. My interest is to use the tabs similarly to Calc, wherein each separate tab is still a part of the same file, but logically separated from the rest of the document. It makes editing or writing books or other files with logical chapters easier without having to reference external documents or keep multiple windows open for cross referencing while editing the file. I certainly would not want to return to the StarOffice 5.2 days. It was really quite horrid having to maintain the Star desktop _and_ the underlying UNIX or Windows desktop. I just want something similar to a feature already present in Calc and other spreadsheet programs to be present in my word- processor. Approximately how much of the Calc tab code would need to be changed/re-written in order to make it work in Writer? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

People now know tabs from everywhere, especially Firefox that is very popular because of its use of tabs. Working with many documents in the task bar is confusing, where the hey is this and that.

The stylist and Navigator have largely made this second idea redundant, and I refer the house to http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7833 - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[ui-issues] [Issue 12686] Tabbed Document Windows
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12686 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Mar 4 15:35:54 -0800 2005 --- In answer to bobharvey in duplicate issue 6371: [And would you have a spreadsheet tab next to a wp tab? or not?] The answer is YES! I usually have 10-15 documents open. Example: 5 different MS Accesses instances, 4 or 5 text/Writer documents, 2 or 3 spreadsheet/Calc documents. I am using [cutting/pasting] information out of each of these repositories to assemble new documents, story boards, business cases, or programs. This often includes 2 or 3 new story boards in simultaneous production drawing from these same 10-15 different sources. To have the ability to simplify all my OO open documents [including the new Base] into tabs and show one instance on the Windows Taskbar, would leave room on the Taskbar for the other 5 or 10 programs that are being used to support the story. This is not to say that I wouldn't want to have 2 or 3 instances of OO open, each with their own set of tabs. I tend to do this with Firefox, opening 2 or 3 instances and having each instance host tabs on a particular theme or story. Here are some rough thoughts on where the tabs would naturally fit. Window / TitleBar File/Edit/View ControlBar 1st ToolBar 2nd ToolBar Add a 3rd Toolbar known as a TabBar This Tab Bar would have a tab or button of all the open documents listed in the menu item of Window on the ControlBar. Justification: 1)In FireFox, the tabs are *after/below* all the Tool/Control bars and *before/above* the working space. It would seem a natural fit to have a TabBar below the two default tool bars of each OO Application. The trick would be to get the ControlBar, ToolBars, and working space to change in relation to the type of document that is clicked in the TabBar. Similar to when switching between tabs in Firefox, the URL bar changes to the right web address. [Of course switching to the correct ControlBar, ToolBars, and Workspace would be a hair more complex than changing text in a URL bar =) ] 2)After spending time in FireFox, it would seem unnatural to have the tabs above the ControlBar. 3)Having the tabs on the bottom of the instance also seems awkward. Document changing functionality seems naturally grouped at the top. Also, some applications [like Calc and Draw] have tabs near the bottom for certain functions already built into the application. The eyes also draw to the title bar on the top to see the which document is open, so tabs [which depict which document your working on and have open] would feel better near the top. In regards to the referenced issues: 7833 -- is a completely unique concept not related to tabs. Document tabs provide *only* the function of aggregating open documents and providing quick navigation between those documents. 6371 I have never used StarOffice, nor do I know how long ago 5.2 was in its prime. Using Firefox tabs creates a bit of a paradigm shift in your thinking. But as most users attest, once the mind grasps the the concept, it's near impossible to turn back. Now that a small percentage of the population has a grasp of this tab concept, these users will naturally want it to flow into the rest of their workspace because of the organization and ease it provides. I see the concept growing and maturing just as having multiple windows did. 20701 is a completely unique concept from open document tabs and proposes providing tabs that reflect sections in one document and NOT tabs for each open document in OO. If this feature comes to fruition, I see it as a feature of the application itself. Example: Providing small tabs at the bottom of the Writer application much the same as the tabs in Calc. Since I am fairly new to contributing, I would be more than willing to help in a usability study [as bobharvey mentioned in issue 6371 ] or in other ways. I just need to be pointed in the right direction. One last hair-brained idea: A plugin could be made for Firefox to allow a tab to open an instance of an OO application. The same way FireFTP [a unique FTP Application] opens in a tab of FireFox. I'll post this suggestion over on Mozilla. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
