Comment #95 on issue 188 by ianpatrickco: UI: tab overflow
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=188
Nice feedback. For the Vimeo Link, imagine as if the app icons were the
thumbnails of
the opened tabs, it would be the perfect solution! We could implement it in
the NNTP
(2 clicks) or in a new tab that we could call Opened Tab Page (OTP) (2
clicks).
Nevertheless, I think we are not grounded in reality if we would say that
it is
possible to create a "One Click Navigation" without compromising Chrome's
small
screen footprint. Although a work around exist by using an
auto-hide-multiple-tab-
rows solution (comment #87), I don't think that the solution is ideal given
that:
1.) We don't want it to be drop down (comment #27)
2.) nor to be scrolling (comment #27)
Auto-hide was my previous ideal solution until I realize that it is the
perfect
marriage of two of our browsing navigation pet peeves (scrolling and drop
down). It
would surely end up looking like Windows XP's auto-hide task bar (My eyes!
It
hurts!).
So instead of auto-hide, maybe we could keep the simple one tab row, and
just add
additional OTP navigation button similar to the NNTP button.
The proposed OTP navigation page would act like the NNTP except that it
will be the
directory of all opened tabs. Also it will fit all opened tabs' thumbnails
(similar
to attachment) in one screen - so there is no need for scrolling or using
drop down
menu.
We could also combine the OTP with the NNTP if we want to keep only one
button next
to the tabs (while still having two click navigation). The current tab row
behavior
would prevail if the tabs do not overflow. Clicking on one set of
thumbnails in the
OTP would transition the current tabs' row into the selected tabs' row.
