Multi-line tab bar

[mattsnowboard]

I've found it's kind of...awkward using codeblocks with many tabs open.  The way the tab bar works, with a lot of tabs, they just start to disappear and arrows can be used to scroll between them.  I have a few problems with this:
  -The arrows are not very noticeable, i.e. sometimes the tabs seem to just disappear because they have all been scrolled to the side (as new files are opened).
  -When new files are opened and closed, causing the tabs to scroll, the tabs never scroll back.  That means there is a lot of open space on the bar but several tabs are hidden until you press the scroll arrows several times.
  -The size of tabs cannot be changed, I don't need a huge tab for every file, maybe they should just shrink to fit (like firefox).

I really think that adding support for 2 lines of tabs would be great.  I saw the request (http://developer.berlios.de/feature/index.php?func=detailfeature&feature_id=3938&group_id=5358) and I was wondering, will it be implemented?

I really like codeblocks, but I'd like to see something done about this if possible.  Thanks

Try "Settings->Environment->Notebooks appearance->Use drop-down tab list"

I've tried that, the problem is, when you open more tabs, they start to disappear, but you cannot scroll over to them.  I know they are there through the drop-down arrow, but I'd like to be able to click on more tabs.  So would it be possible to implement a multiline tab bar option?

Sorry to bump, but anybody else want this feature?

I think it would be a nice feature to have an option somewhere to toggle if you prefer 1line vs multiline tabs.  Not all too big a deal to me though.

This would indeed be a nice feature thus, I've opened a ticket on the new tracker:
