Hi,

I was wondering where the difference between these 2 bazaar packages is. In my current project I could need something like theses packages and I wanted to use the "current" one if there is something like that Wink
Is one of theme the successor of the other or which one is better/more feature rich?
I took a look at what TheIDE uses as tabs and it uses QuickTabs but not from the bazaar but from yet another package: ide/QuickTabs

So why are there 2(3) packages for the same?

AFAIK, Quicktabs was originally a integral part of TheIDE. It was made "public" by unodgs as to make a seperate and easy to use custom Tab Ctrl (it was also used in my DockCtrl package). The main difference between tabbar and Quicktabs lies in their tab image handling. Mrjt's tabbar (which is mainly developed for his Docking package) uses a relatively faster method (pre-caching of images) and supports (or, afaik, will support) transparent tab dragging. etc.

Nevertheless, Quicktabs (the seperate one) is going be developed too (by unodgs himself, or if he permits again Smile

I am going to finalize it as a seperate, full-fledged tabctrl with plenty of useful functions).
