maximize work area

Hi,

please maximize the work area when working with multiple images. (Especially in full-window mode) The idea to have a quick visual reference displayed as tabs is great, but eats workspace. The tab area should be reserved to the discretion of the user, as a custom setting in preferences. And have a checkmark entry in the application toolbar menus too, to complete things. I prefer the good old "open images" -tab in dock-its less smart than tabs, but works great.

regards

Jo

Hi.

Leave single window mode. Press TAB to hide docking windows.
Maximize working windows.
Change Working windows by using functionality of the operating system. Press Tab to show docking windows.
There's no way to make it bigger.

Regards Onkel Hatti

I can presume that he asked about a checkbox in Preferences - to choose between a big tab with a thumbnail of a current canvas inside AND a much smaller tab with a small text containing the filename ( this way he can gain another 30 or 40px of vertical space) ..this could be somehow relevant for small 16:9 lanscape orientation screens.

Even if it's not a setting as such, it would be easy (from a UX perspective, probably less so from a coding perspective) to just have the tab section be collapsible.

As an example of how something like that might look, consider the sidebars in darktable. They're generally useful, but you can collapse each one if you want more space, then you can bring it back when you need that functionality back. Better utility than a checkbox hidden in Prefs, but still gives you the option to make it go away.

I've had the same desire when I'm working on a dark image, and I want to make everything bright go away. If I have a light image open, then it becomes impossible to make it go away.
