adding tab support to apps that dont have it

(1/4) > >>

kalos:
hello!

is there any way to make a program work in tabs, while it has not native support for it?

for example, notepad, many instances of notepad open as seperate windows, is there a way to make all instances appear as tabs of one window?

thanks!

eleman:
We call it Notepad++ :)

f0dder:
There's no generic way to do it.

You can do app-specific hacks, with pretty mixed results... but that's it.

joiwind:
@kalos - I don't know if this is what you want but there is an app that puts all open windows of whatever programs are running into one tabbed interface : Wintabber.

There's also : Window tabifier

cmpm:
another notepad with tabs-Notepad With Tabs
it will not replace notepad but I'm sure it can be set to open the files you want

plus there is Metapad talked about
for the more advanced user

As far as other programs, I guess you have to find them one at a time like f0dder said.
