Feature Request: Make number of tabs configurable

[macearl]

Description

I often switch between 3 or 4 different storage devices / directories and would like to have a separate tab for each of them.

With amaze right now I could bookmark each of these paths and switch between them that way however I think a simple swipe left or right or picking a tab from an always showing tab bar would be so much more comfortable

I'm currently also using root explorer just for this feature. However as I generally like amaze more and would like to migrate everything to open source apps it would be nice if more than 2 tabs would be possible.

Keep up the good work!

This requires some refactoring of the ways tabs is done, but shouldn't be too difficult

We had initial few releases where we did implement this dynamic tabs approach. But for most people they don't use that many tabs, and for a simplistic design, we removed it later on. Maybe I'll attach the apk for those release and you can give it a shot. If you like we might give it a shot.

Sure I'd like to give the old version a go. It would probably be easier to reimplement that code instead of completely rewriting it

@VishalNehra the two issues are not the same thing.

It's by design choice we keep two tabs, left and right. Regardless of the number of devices currently connected. If we want more tabs we can open more windows as pointed in #2744

IMO a design discussion should be opened to use another system, unifying the TextEditor taks and tabs.
