Help with x3, please... ? ---> "Tabbed documents"

Post by filo »

Hi - and I truly am sorry, but as I don't know what I want help with is called, I haven't been able to search... :oops:

And of course, not knowing what it's called, google hasn't been of any help either.

I got (now a fairly old version) X3... and somehow, the item that's in constant use, has diappeared after a computer restart, and didn't reappear after reloading the workspace I normally use.

I'll try to explain what I want back:
When having several images open at the same time, the one I was on, would show in full screen, but above that image was a bar (kind of like a URL tab on firefox, I can easily switch between tabs) - which would show the name on the image I was currently working on, what size it was showing as (like "23%")... and next to that was the info of the next image, which I could easily click, and thus opening that image as big instead (but still showing all the info of all open images on the top).
To the right was a "X", where I could chose to close the particular image I was one.

Now I got some horrendous mess - where either things have to be in small tabs (with blue line around), or if I chose to enlarge to fit the screen, I can NOT swap between the different images - as the bar that used to be there is gone. :x

As the missing bar has been there for as long as I remeber (I might once upon a time have chosen to put it there... but that's years ago) - and currently PSP is basically useless to me.

I've tried looking, and testing all the various options I could think of and find... but no luck... and as I got no idea what it's called, I'm pretty much left helpless. :oops:

I would really appreciate any help! Even if someone just knows what I'm talking about, what it's called, it might be just the thing I need to be able to find a solution to my problem. :D

Thank you for listening to my ramblings.

EDIT: Found what it's called!!! "Tabbed documents" :lol:

However, I still don't know how to enable it. :oops: Have been searching google, and so far only found an explenation regarding x4 and over (including a post regarding it here). Does anyone know? Thank you for any help!

OMG - thank you so, so much!!!

I cn't believe I missed it - honest I sat for hours looking through all the different items under peferences and workspace thinking that surely it must be there some where. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Again, thank you! I was ready to just give in and buy a newer version. And I love X3. I'm sure the newer ones has been improved in many places... but X3 is perfect for what I use it for, so until my laptop (which is as old as my X3) I was gonna keep it.
