Why don't we make a list and go from there? Obviously we *need* a new tab and a close \
tab entry at the least. From there, for file management, an option to close other \
tabs I think would be useful. Let's say I'm looking in my home directory for \
something at the same time I'm downloading a music album and it finishes. I open my \
downloads directory in a new tab and my music directory in anew tab, drag and drop, \
then I want to close these other tabs and go back to just looking in my home \
directory. An undo close tab option would be nice in a context menu. I think we can \
safely do away with the duplicate and detach options. The point of tabs is not to \
have multiple windows, so I don't think people will miss detaching them, and if no \
duplicating tabs option makes a racket, you could do something like dragging a tab to \
open space on the tab bar opens it or something like that (a la dragging a URL or \
link to the tab bar).

What's left after that is where to put buttons and menu entries. Konqueror only has \
*one* entry in the Location menu, which is new tab. I think that would be sane in \
Dolphin. On the tab bar, there's a new tab and close tab button. That seems to be \
part of the widget itself (I haven't used Qt much, so I don't know). From there, the \
rest could go in a context menu accessible from the tab bar.

I don't care that much, but some people might want an option to hide the tab bar if \
there's only one tab open. I kind of like always having the tab bar there, but other \
people might not. Also, the middle click to open in new tab is a must. It just \
reduces the amount of time doing new tab operations takes.

Thanks.
