[TW5] BJ's StoryTopTabs - Comments & Requests

[prog...@assays.tv]

To BJ

plugin: StoryTopTabs via http://bjtools.tiddlyspot.com/

my TW: Version 5.1.11

my verdict: EXCELLENT.

my usage: Principally with Zoomin storyview.

benefits: Reflecting the metaphor of browser tabs its intuitively easy for a user to find their way around. Especially useful in TWs without strong hierarchical menu structures.

bugs?: The click box under Control Panel that says "Enable Story Tabs" when enabled adds a SECOND redundant set of tabs at the top of the screen.

requested improvement: When you open a tiddler its tab is highlighted. When you re-navigate to it from a link (e.g. from the sidebar) it is highlighted. When you click on a tab it is highlighted. When you close a tab via its "x" the previous gets focus & is highlighted. ALL GOOD.

BUT when you close a tiddler via its big "X" the previous is focused but the tab is NOT highlighted. Is it possible to fix this?

HI Josiah,
thank you very much for the feedback. I had not notice that a 'Ghost of tabs' bug crept in, (I always have the tabs on), The fix is straight forwards and will be in
a release after tw5 v5.1.12. The other bug when the current table is not selected is much more tough. It is not in my plugin, but in the storyview code. It will eventually get fixed, either by my self or another.

Thanks again, all the best

BJ
