Hi all,
As we come close to release Rekonq 0.9, I'm also starting to draft
ideas of things we can implement for Rekonq 0.10 and one of them -
actually the one I'm needing the most - is draggable tabs, as in
taking a tab from one Rekonq window and dropping it in another one.
From my point of view, this is a natural complement of the Detach Tab
feature, since in my regular use case I start browsing for a topic,
then I have eg. 5 tabs of that topic and I intend to keep reading on a
new window to keep my original window topic-centered so I detach one
of the tabs. Then I'd like to drag the other 4 tabs to the new
instance but, instead, I have to copy& paste the URLs, losing tab
history and precious time.
I've already looked at the places where modifications would need to
go, and this is something I'd be happy to implement but I was
wondering if this is an idea anybody else shares or is already working
on. Also, what's the best way to work on this? I think a patch-based
approach would be tedious as this feature would probably come in a set
of patches rather than in one single patch and reviewing them all in
the Reviewboard could take some time. Instead, I've thought of
starting a new draggable-tabs branch and eventually merging those
changes into master after they have been reviewed by relevant people.
Any thoughts?

Working with branches is THE way to work with git (and with rekonq,
first KDE project git based?). Don't worry about ReviewBoard and open a
personal clone of rekonq in KDE git infrastructure, instead.
About Anton's comment (that I coudn't reply because didn't include
David's post), I don't think this overlaps with TIrtha's work in any
way. It's another way to "organize" tabs, I know. But users do usually
very strange different things. Common user interfaces are very
redundant, think about how many ways you know to open a new tab...
As a conclusive comment about requested feature, I have to say I really
like it, BUT it will need complete review/rewrite for the version AFTER
0.10, where plans have not yet been revealed. I have to write something
somewhere about...
