The problem of the increasing number of tabs is actually well known by some groups. The solution is not known and lots of research is still needed. If you want to do that kind of research, I suggest you to use QGraphicsWebView instead of QWebView to render the web content. With multiple web view being in the same graphics view, it is easier to visually put together a group of pages (like creating stacks out of tabs). The interactions with pages also needs improvement to plays with groups. Like the ability to easily select tabs. At one point or another, Rekonq should move to QGraphicsWebView, in order to use accelerated rendering with OpenGL (Accelerated compositing of WebKit, and WebGL). This might be an opportunity to do research on user experience. At the last WebKit conference, I had a talk with Benjamin Meyer on this subject. He has tons of ideas on solutions for this problem, it could be interesting to contact him and see if some could apply to Rekonq. cheers, Benjamin _______________________________________________ rekonq mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/rekonq
