Why windows is a tabbed file browser?

Any reason, why Microsoft did not do their file Explorer, tab so that the user had the possibility to combine all different instantiations of an Explorer of files in a single window frame?

I'm a software engineer and often open several Windows File Explorer at the same time, but I would like to be able to switch between them by using a single image.

Notepad ++ and other applications provide a unique setting and a group several instantiations of their panels to Publisher in a unique setting.

In addition, it would be cool if you could name the tabs or take some sort of default as the path of the directory in view.

Microsoft if you do not already have this option, please put in all versions of your windows.

And you can send me for free a t-shirt for the idea.

haha.

Please no way or hateful responses.

I doubt MS who will answer here, but I hope they can.

This is a user to user support forum.

However, there are some 3rd party apps that claim to add tabs to Explorer as - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28997/add-tabbed-browsing-to-explorer-in-windows-7/ , and there are probably others. NOTE: Ive not tried these so can't say how good or bad, they really are.

    Hello, by default the firefox session restore feature only allows you to save last 3 windows open. to change this, type on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo.

    A very slight downward movement when clicking on a tab will cause the tab 'tear-off' and open in another window. You can drag the tab to the original window tab bar.

    Windows Vista using Media Player 11:

    I am way in music and want to have recorded and named in a certain way.  Sometimes in windows 'Explorer' I group songs into folders according to the albums I create (i.e. mixtures of burning); in this case, I'll keep the names from the same artist and change the name of the album (in properties) that I chose.  As soon as I click on the folder 'Explorer' moves it somewhere, I don't think.  Sometimes things end up in the trash that I know does not recycle.  It also renames my files.  For example, I had a song that I had saved the name of the file is: 01 History.wma; and the rest of the info has been saved in the properties (Album, artist, track number, etc.).  As soon as I turn my head the computer renames it to something that looks like this: 01HistoryAtmosphereSevensTravels - UndergroundRap.wma.  Why it does this and how can I stop it?

  • Why Windows Explorer applies LZW compression in my TIFF RGB 48-bit files?

    OS: WIndows 7 Pro 64-bit

    Hardware: Intel Core i7-2600 with 8 GB of Ram

    Scanning software: VueScan 64 - bit version 9.1.13

    Scanning: PlusTek 7600i

    I scan color negatives and save them to TIFF with RGB 48-bit (16 bits per color).

    The VueScan software correctly saves files without LZW compression LZW does work well with 16-bit "noisy" data-"LZW compression" frequently makes bigger files due to the large number of distinct values that must be added to the dictionary.

    If I use Windows Explorer to change the Date to a file label, it modifies the indicator of Compression TIFF (uncompressed) of 1 to 5 (LZW compression) and applies the compression.  The file INCREASES in size by about 20% (of 95.6 MB to 115.8 MB).

    Now, I understand that it could be argued that Explorer trying to make efficient use of space SO the compression made the smaller file, but what happens in reality is worse than before because the file takes MORE space AND the system now has the burden of "decompression" the file when it is opened.

    Windows Explorer should NOT add compression of TIFF files (or files in my opinion) unless specifically requested to do so.

    Thank you

  • Each new browser window has two tabs (one is the sign more) then how we close a window with a single page in without warning multi-onglet?

    Firefox 38 changed the behavior of the tab for me so that each window with two tabs open. The second tab is the 'plus' sign for the creation of new tabs. This means that when the window is closed, the content disappears, but the window to grab and must be closed by hand.

    I tried the "Hide Tab Bar with a tab" extension, but it does nothing. My additional windows are always open with the tab bar (which they don't have in previous versions) and two tabs are there.

    I "warn me if I try to close multiple tabs" together. I don't know if that's the problem. If this is the case, I don't want to give it up because it's useful. When I have several tabs. But a window that has one thing that he really needs to behave like a window that has one thing in it.

    I crossed by disabling the extensions, and the extension of ImageTweak seems to have been the culprit. It was apparently works well with the previous version, 38 he screwed up. Well, not an extension is critical.

  • Why were the new tab and new window right click menu items reversed for FF3.6 on FF4?

    I use Firefox since version 1. When you right-click on a hyperlink, that the first menu item has always been 'open in a new tab' and the second element was "open in a new window' now in Firefox 4, they are reversed and it is a major pain in the rear. I even went and checked Firefox 3.6 on other PCs to ensure that I was not bad, and of course, they are reversed. I checked on Windows XP and 7. I find myself constantly opening new windows instead of tabs. Is it possible to change this in addition to revert to the version 3.6? More stupid idea that someone at Mozilla never had. Change it please go back to the old in 4.1

    You can change what is back as with the Menu Editor extension:
