Main Display Area Tabbed Interface

[Ted]

Hi,

I am currently using Money Manager EX v1.9.4 (Windows 64-bit).

First of all, thanks to the developers for this excellent software!

I'd like to suggest an improvement to the user interface: adding a tabbed system to the main display area, similar to what we find in web browsers.

Currently, MMEX has two main areas:
- The Navigation panel on the left, where users select accounts, transaction lists, reports, etc.
- The Main display area on the right, which shows the selected item and replaces the previous view.

My suggestion is to allow multiple views to remain open simultaneously using tabs.

The proposed behavior would be:

1. Clicking an item in the Navigation panel would automatically open it in a new tab in the main display area.
2. Several tabs could remain open simultaneously (accounts, transaction lists, reports, etc.).
3. Clicking a tab would immediately switch to its corresponding view.
4. Each tab would have a close button (×).
5. If an item is already open in a tab, selecting it again in the Navigation panel would activate the existing tab instead of creating a duplicate.
6. Ideally, each tab would retain its own settings, such as filters, sorting, and scroll position.

An optional additional feature would be to restore previously opened tabs when restarting MMEX.

The main benefit would be the ability to switch quickly between different accounts and reports without having to navigate repeatedly through the Navigation panel.

I believe this feature would significantly improve usability, especially for users who regularly work with multiple accounts and reports.

Thanks for considering this suggestion!

Best regards.

You’ve brought up a major request here. This would certainly be a very desirable enhancement, but it would require a significant amount of changes and effort on MMEX’s part. Given our limited development resources, I doubt this could be implemented in the near future. It would also mean that if I made a change in one window (tab), the other windows and results would have to be updated interactively.

I would still suggest submitting the proposal to https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... dated-desc, though, as you’ll have a better chance of it being considered there.
