Description Peter Tselios 2015-09-03 05:29:17 UTC

I would be nice to have Ark as an MDI application, so, when someone opens more than one compressed/archived files it's inside the same app. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an archive
2. Open a second one. A new instance of the application is started


Actual Results:  
Only one instance of the application should exist. 

Expected Results:  
Only one instance of the application should exist.

But how would each archive be displayed? With tabs or something else?

Comment 2 Peter Tselios 2015-09-07 13:29:07 UTC

Tabs is the first thing that comes to my mind.

Comment 3 Elvis Angelaccio 2016-02-01 17:12:07 UTC

Confirming this wish...
We could do what Okular does: offer a setting to enable/disable the tabs.

Interesting that 5-6 years later, we are still with a very basic application. I still wish to have MDI/Tabs support in Ark
