Show file type icons on document tabs

Show file type icons on document tabs

It would be a lot easier to quickly pick out the tab you want if document tabs displayed the corresponding icon for their file type, like so:

Right now the tabs show the file extension. If we replaced that with the icon, the icon wouldn't take up any extra space, so we could still fit the same number of tabs in the tab well.

And it would be great if the documents list in the Documents Menu (bottom-right corner) did the same thing:

This would be helpful when the Carol.iam, Carol.ipn, and Carol.idw files are all open at once.  

 

We follow the model filename=drawing filename=presentation filename convention.

This is an absolutely great idea.

It would be great if Autodesk would focus more on the UI, as it would still offer small but very practical improvements in many places.

 

In addition to the icons, we would also like to be able to display the PartName instead of the FileName, as we use a generic, continuous number as the FileName, which often means nothing to the user.
