Requested Tab support?

[bohdan]

Hi,

Are there any plans to add tab support to IV? So that I can open multiple images in one window, or every time I open a file it'll get opened inside an already running instance (this could be configurable) instead of a new window.

Thanks in advance

@bohdan,

Like Google Chrome?

I think, that would be possibly risky!
Perhaps the program would hungup itself repeatedly!
Because of to high memory requirement!

But I'm not a programmer!

What do you hope to achieve, Bohdan, that you cannot do now by pressing Ctrl+N to open a new instance and using the Task bar icons as tabs?
Irfanview is very quick at opening another instance and I doubt that it needs significantly more memory than opening a second image in the same window, assuming that you still want to keep the first available for instant recall.
