Attachments: Varying tab sizes in okular

Description jawanmardy 2020-01-23 15:07:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
As you may use Okular with Zotero to read and store your documents, it could occurre to you that Zotero tend to change the PDF name based on the author and year of publish and a little bit of title which makes it great to search for a file without Zotero being installed. But this long name is a pain in Okular when one wants to read multiple documents in a tab oriented view. I propose a fixed tab size for better browsing with a mouse. Yet the keyboard shortcut keys are available but I believe when one tries to highlight with mouse he might also wants to browse with it as well.

OBSERVED RESULT
The tab size has a lower limit but the size may varies to whole file name when the file has a long name. This may cause to overfull the screen and difficulty to browse in multiple tabs.

EXPECTED RESULT
A fixed tab size help the reader to organize documents alike other readers e.g. Adobe or Foxit or even browsers like Firefox and Chromium.

Varying tab sizes in okular
Comment 2 Tom 2021-10-27 12:11:19 UTC 
I want to second this. Okular is the only software I know in which the tab sizes vary significantly, which doesn't make a lot of sense. If there is a few tabs open, it is really hard to read which is which since, some tabs are extremely small (see screenshot).

Evenly distributed space between all tabs should be the obvious choice here.
