[Calc] Feature request: Organizing sheets into tab rows

[Tony <ab...@gmail.com>]

Greetings!

Just curious - would it be useful to be able to organize ones sheets in tab
rows? That way you could group together similar sheets - and also not have
to scroll back and forth through one long line of tabs, or split your
business model up into multiple files.

I.e. you could have your Principal Sheets in one row, and your Auxiliary
Sheets (which are used to calculate the underlying assumptions of your
principal spreadsheets) in the row below. And then perhaps some totally
unrelated ones below that again.

I notice Calc currently allows you to color-code tabs, but I'm not sure how
effective that is, as you first have to explain what they mean, plus the
color lines aren't all too prominent.

Thanks for listening.

Tony

Hi Tony, hi Dwayne,

your ideas will be likely lost here on the mailing list. Please write an 
enhancement request on Bugzilla and/or join the UX mailing list and/or 
start a collection of wishes on the Wiki.

Perhaps Kevin has a good idea how to make user wishes more visible?

Kind regards
Regina

Absolutely! I can't recall seeing any application allowing you to organize
tabs above and below one another though. I do indeed think it'd be an
excellent way to organize large worksheets - in addition to, ofcourse, the
tab management capabilities of Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Tony,

Thanks for sharing.

Clustering sheets (represented in calc as tabs) into collections could help
manage large worksheets.

Applications, such as Firefox and Internet Explorer have tab management
capabilities.

We should explore existing solutions and determine if any of the
interaction patterns might suite our needs.

Regards,
Kevin
