Very good start! Thanks for the references. Here is some feedback for refinement of the feature:
1. The feature would be more discoverable if the docking icons were activated over a much larger field of the screen, 2. I had trouble finding a way to get a top-half window to complement the bottom-half. (I found it, eventually; again a larger hint activation area would be appreciated.) 3. Restoring a previous view arrangement is a problem. Item 3 is the greatest challenge. The idea of corralling the tabs within the parent window is an extension of the basic Chrome container frame. It would divide the original frame into subgroups of tabs in the various tiled arrangements. One might then fuse or divide groups to 'restore' to a previous, or something similar to a previous, arrangement. Building on the above, it would be another great feature to be able to actually *save and resume a tab set* by a new name tag. One might find and restore them from the 'New Tab' gallery. Thanks for the great work! --Fred On Feb 13, 4:00 pm, dhhwai <[email protected]> wrote: > Docking dragged tabs in new windows has been implemented in the > development 2.0 branch.
