Great suggestions! I started making a few improvements a few months ago but I've just been too busy to complete them. Besides that, the code is already pretty messy and adding too many more features is just going to contribute to debugging complexity and ongoing maintenance - I'd love to spend some time learning Python and cleaning up the code, but it's not likely to happen this year sadly.
Having said that, the first one is a relatively simple modification to make. I'll keep this on the cards anyway and might get a chance to add it. The second one will be a bit more involved: you may have noticed that the dividers are really just extra copies of the box sides with a cutout for slotting them together, and the holes cut into the box sides are just a re-wiring of the "finger" edge on that same face - so this would need to be modified quite a bit.
Thanks again!
Oh hey, will you look at that. By chance I happened to glance at forks of the code straight after answering your question and look what I found!
Looks like that change might do the trick. I don't have time to do a merge right now or test, but if you want to give it a go and send me a pull request if it works for you, that would be awesome.... :)
If not, I might have a bit of time over the next couple of weeks.
Hi paulh-rnd, thank you for the positive reply. My first suggestion - separate the box making from the divider making - will convenient solve all requirements. One can construct the box with inner dimension and on a separat run the dividers with outer dimension specified and a different material size. Voilà thats it - as long as you don't need the keepers. Thank you for direct me to deepinthewoods contribution. However I don't know how to deal with (shame on me ... download, merge, ... no idea! ) Yes I'm a newbee and english is not my strength :-( Thank you again and may be you will have a look at my first "opus" ... with the help of a friend!

oh I forgot my question: the number of dividers is limited to 10. Can this be lifted? Best regards
Thanks for all the work it looks great. I'd like to throw out a couple of other suggestions. I do realize they maybe too complicated to add and make things nice though.
@mshorter thanks for the suggestions and sorry for not replying sooner - not sure why I didn't see your comment before. I like (1), and I've added it to a new issue. (2) is a lot harder and not really where I wanted to take this project yet, but they are great suggestions. IF you have any more suggestions, please feel free to add a new enhancement request (rather than comment on an existing one like this - your ideas may get lost!)
Thanks again for supporting TabbedBoxMaker!
Thanks a lot paulh-rnd for doing this great job!
May I suggest two minor enhancements:
Both proposals aren't absuloutly necessary as you can do it always in seperate jobs however I belive they are worth to have a look at for the sake simplicity
Thanks again
