Ashish Sharma (ID: 0000003a0eb28655) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/09/2023 It is good for people, who want to work in multiple windows. I was looking for something, which can let me organize everything in one window.

Vorname (ID: 000000de81381ae5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/02/2023 Basically working but it does not sort the tabs by date. Sort by name makes a huge mess. Sort by default mess up my creation of tabs. Switching to a tab thru its menu always scrolls the selected tab down to the lower screen end. Junk
