Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux the list of torrents is displayed in a tabbed field. actually there is no practical reason to use tabs in this place. please, remove tabs and leave a much cleaner interface with minimal chrome. Reproducible: Didn't try Expected Results: no tabs in Torrent view, clean interface.

nice! have a nice day alex
I couldn't agree with you. The reasons to use tabs are: - Different tabs for uploads, downloads - Different tabs for different groups (by series, by director, by tracker, by company) I think we should decide about actions in UI like this by gathering user statistics. It's a general idea in web applications to improve usablility. But I don't see any such mechanisms in KDE apps. The implementation is not easy so now we only hope User tell us about this UI change.

Instead of switching using the tab bar you now have to use the groups tree.
I always used tabs because it is easier to switch tabs (when groups tree closed) than opening/closing groups tree and then selecting downloads/uploads there. I suggest to implement tabs feature as in konqueror. No tabs shown there by default if only one tab opened. Also konqueror have option to show tabs even for one tab.
idiotic bugreport, without tabs it's unusable for me, switching to qbittorent.
(In reply to comment #6) > idiotic bugreport, without tabs it's unusable for me, switching to qbittorent. Bugreport itself is fine, but fix is wrong for me. Right fix will be made tabs behavior Konqueror-like i.e. no tabs shown for one opened tab.
Hmmm... I think that Nucleo's idea is good. But I don't know is it possible to simple make this changes. Anyway, what is the real purpose to use multiple tabs? What do you have in separate tabs?
(In reply to comment #8) > Anyway, what is the real purpose to use multiple tabs? What do you have in separate tabs? First tab is Downloads, Second tab is Uploads. Switching between tabs is more simple than opening groups tree every time before switching there.

For example custom groups of torrents e.g films, music etc. each in its own tab and it was easy to view number of torrents in each group(tab) also switching with tabs less complicated.
nucleo's solution would work for me. Tabs thing is just about vertical space and polish. personally I don't care about uploads, ktorrent options manage them well. No need to continuously switching between ups/downs. I just need to filter them out. I'm not either a great fan of groups tree. Adding a "Filter" item in menu bar could do the job too.
Ok. Lets me summarize. You want: - After program starts you don't see any tab - Add tab by File -> New tab or Ctrl+T - When there are 2 tabs or more, the tabs will be displayed as usual. - When only one tab have kept, the tab bar will be hidden So, are the actions to add tab in only two ways: button from menu and shortcuts enough for all of us?
(In reply to comment #12) > So, are the actions to add tab in only two ways: button from menu and shortcuts > enough for all of us? Should be fine. But also will be nice to have configuration option for showing tabs always.
And of course restore buttons for new tab and close tab that will be shown or hidden with tabs.
I did like to see an option for enable/disable tabs as well, I used the tab bar a lot :/
can we reopen this or shall I fill a new bug?
Tabs reenabled in ktorrent-4.3.
