What's the purpose of Tab Bar?

Post by AeroZ »

Hi!

There's an option under View menu named "Show Tab Bar". If I enable it then a tab named Transmission shows up. I can't find any way to open a new tab or use this in any way.

Am I missing something or how to use tabs?

Thanks!

Bumping this older question. I am new to Transmission being a refugee fro uTorrent via Deluge & qBittorrent. Been playing with all the strings and this one puzzles me. As with the OP, what's up with Transmission and 'tabs'?

Once upon a time Apple decided it would be a good idea add this menu item to each and every program. No, Transmission doesn't support tabs (there's no good use-case for them at the moment) and the item will be removed in the upcoming 3.00 release.

Haha. Thanks! Figured something like this. I've already un-ticked show tab bar.

New to Transmission. Sorry if this is common knowledge I missed somewhere.

Might be new but have tested thoroughly and pretty much meets my needs enough to have already donated.
