I'm trying to port a Windows app, which uses many many tabs. On
Windows, if the tabs can't fit into a single row, they will take as
many rows as necessary.
However, on the Mac, a tabview only uses one row.
Right (and on purpose).
So what should I do? I notice that the standard behaviour is to use
a listbox. I have reasons to lean towards making the appearance as
much as like the Windows version as possible, so something that
looks tab-like would definitely be preferred.
A popup button would be one option connected with a tab-less tab
view. Also consider a table list connected with a tab-less tab view.
Another metaphor can be seen in System Preferences and Preference in
various applications (Xcodes preferences for example). They use icons
to note the various panels and clicking on an icon changes the view
displayed.
