Stacking window tabs instead of removing the window names

[lucas_z]

Currently, if you have many windows open (processflows, commands, tables, etc.) and the width exceeds the window width, then names are removed to only leave the icons. I suppose the idea is then to use the dropdown menu on the side to select the correct tab when switching. I would personnally prefer it if the tabs go stacked, so I could still find the correct one without having to use the dropdown menu.

Example: I have some windows open:

And I open another thing, then it becomes like this:

But I would prefer it as follows (excuse my paint skills):

Maybe some people prefer it as it is now, so perhaps it could be a checkbox option in the preferences somewhere?

In such cases I start to dock windows vertically. I put them in groups of similar size. I think additionally there is still a tool tip by their icons view.

The tooltip is something nice to know, I will certainly try to use that.

Stacking windows vertically is something I that is not so useful for me since the best overview I get by using the full height of the screen (rows in a table, programming, processflows flowing from top to bottom).

If you want to pick the tab by name, press the dropdown arrow that displays a list of the tabs by name:

If one extra click to get a nice dropdown menu of open tab names is too much effort, then you are welcome to use the Module SDK to modify FlexSim's UI to your liking.
