IDEA multi-tab interface

[Tommy]

Foxit Reader can handle now more than one pdf at once but i'd like to have a multi-tab interface like Opera borwser.

[JustinF]

I second that. When you have multiple documents open it's very nice to be able to select the document you want via a tab.

[arthur]

From developers:
This could be done for next version.

[Tommy]

great!!! this would be a great new feature!!!

[Tommy]

still no multitab interface in build 1130?

[arthur]

Build 1130 is just a maintenance version, we don't implement any new feature for it.

[Tommy]

ok, i see.
what about next build? is the multitab thing going to be implemented?

[arthur]

Multitab will surely be implemented in the near future, but we could not promise that it will be implemented for the most recent build before we need to do more testing before releasing new feature. Bascailly, maintenance version won't implement new features.

[Tommy]

i assume build 1209 is still a maintainance version since multitab is not present.

anyway i'm happy that this feature is going to be implemented soon

[Tommy]

just another question about multitab: whot do you mean "near future"? January, February?

[arthur]

We are nowing busy on testing other new features to be implemented by the end of this month and have put this item for January's release. I will post a message here once we finish this one.

[Tommy]

thanks Arthur i'm looking forward for a multitab interface.

it would be a great feature. Acrobat Reader doesn't have it.

[Tommy]

just an information.
will the next release (2.0) have a multitab interface?

[aimy]

[Tommy]

[aimy]

multitab would be an incredible new feature. will we see it one day?
i feel so sad..

until now still this feature is not available, :(

very very sad.. :1_32:

[Tommy]

does Fxit Reader 2.0 support multitab ?

[Jessamine]

Hi guys,
It is on our developers' to-do-list.
It takes time to fulfill this request. Everything should be done step by step,right?

[Tommy]

ok. i'm happy to see that you did nit forget that feature request.
take your time.

[Jessamine]

Hi Tommy,
We will never forget your requests.
This feature actually has been added in next version.

[Boz]

Promise? :1_13:

[Jessamine]

Yes,I think so.
That day our developer asked me whether multi-tab and one instance are frequently asked feature. I said yes. And he told me that if so, they would add it to Reader. :)

[Boz]

Great! Thanks!

[Tommy]

greta news!!!! multitab rules!!!

[aimy]

but when??? http://www.invision.smileyville.net/smilies/mad2.gif

[Tommy]

be patient... they are working on it

[Drybonz]

Multitab sounds good but will this feature slow the reader down?

[Sirit]

Still no multitab in 2.0?

```^_^```

I or We(sb.) like to open PDFs in only one Reader ,not many many foxitreader's windows.

multitab multitab multitab multitab multitab multitab multitab multitab multitab

[Tommy]

they said that multitab will be available by the end of the year.

[sims]

I'm not sure I like this idea--the MDI interface is the reason I hate acrobat. I have 2 big monitors, and I'm forced to use just one tiny window for all my PDF documents and can't compare them side-to-side easily. It would be good if you could leave in an SDI option, if that's possible.

[Tommy]

any news about multitab?

will u be able to add this featuire by the end of 2007?

[Andy]

Foxit still can't open multiple file in one window except by using it's own "Open" dialog. Or you can drop a .pdf file on an open window. But you can't drop a shortcut (.lnk) on an open window. And double clicking a file or shortcut will only open a new window.

ADD THIS VERY STANDARD CAPABILITY (DDE?) BEFORE YOU IMPLEMENT TABS!!!

I won't hold my breath for either.

[aimy]

huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

how longer should I wait for this??

[Boz]

I would estimate two years. But we may be pleasantly surprised!

[Kurica]

Hi all,

Thank you for your forgive.
Our developer are working on this feature now.

[Tommy]

multitab is available in Foxit Reader 2.3 !!!

the long time we waited for was worth it!!!
