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....
Ick. I don't want to have to "feel tidy" personally, the tools should
be tidy themselves.
Can't quite tell if you're merely suggesting better titles on the page,
or you want some "tidyness management".
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.
