personally I dont even understand why one would not want tabs, especially in such a heavy window orientated enviroment like Pharo. Sure if I better solution existed yes, but even in MacOS while mission control existed for quite some time (offers a bird eye view of opened windows) still Apple was forced to implement tabs even inside Finder. Tabs are actually a standard feature for all applications nowdays and is strange that Pharo has hidden it inside menus. I completely agree with you that drag and drop or at least some other easy to use solution would be ideal. On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 3:00 PM, Ben Coman <btc@openinworld.com> wrote:
maybe it should just be enabled permanently? defaulting to showing a tab when only one window is present - just the same as you get with a web browser. I think this paradigm is common enough with web browsers today being able to drag/drop tabs is a common enough that this will be discoverable for most people.
Perhaps a preference to turn it off as a backup for those that don't like it?
btw,

I know about the feature, but we did not yet find a proper solution for it.
The current default solution does not make for a good user experience: I have to click an obscure menu item just to make the window be a drop target and I get no visual feedback of what can be dropped on it. The issue of many windows is a significant problem that deserves a closer attention.
I am sure it will take a while, though.

Previous (and still included) Workspace, Transcript and Nautilus
provide Window grouping by selecting "Create window group" from the window menu and then dragging two windows onto each other. They are grouped together in one single window then and each one gets a tab.
Looks like Playground does not support this feature yet - so currently I end up with many many windows which for me is a step backwards compared to working with workspaces in Pharo 3.0
What is necessary to provide this for the Playground so we have a common behavior for all the tools and a cleaner desktop?
Thanks T.
