@Ayespy said in V 6.7 | New tab button moved to end of side tab bar:
@Sodokin The button was not removed, but rather anchored to the bottom of the tab bar. As a lot of people aren't happy with this, it will b doubtless be changed.
In the meantime, a double-click in the empty space below the tabs generates a new tab.
It is doubtless this will be changed, but in the meantime…?
The logic here is an absolute slap in the face. It’s stuff like this that makes newer users like me want to run for the hills. I’ll be watching this more closely now from the developers and how they react to a few upset users, but blatant disregard like this in the community is ridiculous.
Some posters have made a decent attempt explaining that it was a bug and whatnot, and said bug was fixed, etcetera. The OP wasn’t asking about alternatives explicitly, they were talking about choice.
Is it possible to bring this back? Through an extension? Through a UX update that still has the mentioned bug squashed? Is it possible that the choice, not alternative means, to return this function to its user(s) without disrupting others having to deal with bugs?
Although I’m not upset too much about the change, I liked the button where it was. A lot. But I also use keyboard shortcuts so no big deal in the long run for me. But for people who used it, myself included for just shy of a year, not having it so suddenly is a drag and not a subtle change for their productivity. I’ll adapt, overcome, it’ll be a long lost memory. But the sheer anxiety to some, the abrupt change with no announcement, no notice or the ability to turn it back on for at least three more updates or something along those lines before it becomes permanent? A phase out? Something, anything. Not everyone adjusts the same. They lost their right to choose. In an environment built on choice. It’s a big deal to them; huge. Don’t brush them off, help them understand and see if real answers can be found. You may not be hurt by this, but others are.
