Hide -- how? And how would you switch between them?

Maybe his means - close the tabs?

Or, as he refers specifically to "tab names" when explaining "hide tabs", he hasn't discovered the "back arrow" (Configure this tab) button and the menu option: Tab style > Option > Icon

Which is the default value, no? :)

Just hit the "tab" key.

No. The default appears to be "Automatic" and hence the text is displayed when there is space to do so.

Pass! But I have to bow to your greater knowledge.

All I can say, after a number of years using GIMP under Windows and in single window mode, I've no idea what the default on a new install would be.

I can say that now if I add any tabs that are not in my default set, they appear with "icon and text" and it's only those I know I have used before that appear icon only.

I would expect it to be a global setting that would hide all tabs (These whole sections: http://i.imgur.com/rfIPNAQ.png) that would also un-hide them.

But how would that work? When these tabs are not there - how would it be visible that there are other tabs beneath it, and how would you switch to one of the tabs beneath?

My apologies if I don't understand the real topic of this thread. But I think it's about having the option to not show the image tabs at the top in single window mode.

I don't use single-window mode, and one reason why I don't use single window mode is because the tabs are really big and there's no way to hide them so the image can take up more space vertically. Those tabs result in wasted screen real estate.

If there were a way to hide the tabs, then to switch images, the user would:

1. right-click to bring up the menu bar (assuming the menu bar is not already shown - I hide the menu bar even in multi-window mode to provide more vertical screen real estate)

2. click on the desired image.

Or else use alt-# to switch between image windows.

Best, Elle

Could just hide single tabs and keep regions that have multiple tabs revealed.

The Tabs also serve as grabbing area for rearranging the dockables. If they are hidden rearranging the dockables is no longer possible.

It probably is possible to find a solution for all these details, but I'd like to see a consistent proposal that takes the existing functionality into account.
