GRC: List of open flow graphs #5844

Open reald opened 2 years ago

reald commented 2 years ago

Feature Description

Open flow graphs in gnuradio companion are shown in tabs. If you have many flow graphs open it is uncomfortable to navigate to another open file which is not visible as tab in this moment (you need to click many times on one of the arrows until the correct file appears). It is also not always clear in which direction you have to search.

Proposal: Add a list of all open windows sorted by filename in the menu.

Feature Urgency

medium (would be nice to have in the near future)

@reald Do you know of any applications which do this well? Can you add some screenshots to show that?

Thanks!

This is how libre office is handling the list of open files:

listofopenfiles

Just a simple list but searching a specific file is much easier than the tabs in GRC where you never know if you have to search to the left or right:

A list of open files in the menu should not be that hard to implement I guess.

BTW: gnuradio-companion already implements such a list for recently closed files (File -> Open Recent). Another list for all open files/tabs would be helpful.
