Tab feature request

Hello,
I love the feature where I can drag and re-order tabs in a given windows
but I would LOVE to be able to drag tabs into other windows as well! I
realize this is probably really hard but suppose I have two instances of IE
open, I would like to drage a tab to the other IE window and be able to drage
it directly into that window. It would then be removed from the original
window and appear in the new window. Bonus points if you can do it without
refreshing the web page.

Re: Tab feature request

Drag the icon from the Address bar. And BTW, you can also drag the icon
to your desktop to create a shortcut.

Re: Tab feature request

You're prettttty close there. But that's just a drag and drop of a link, I'm
talking about litterally dragging a tab out of a window and into another IE
window. Currently you can drag a tab to a different index of tabs in the same
window but I want to be able to drag a tab to a different index of tabs in a
different window!

Open up two IE windows, get 3-4 tabs in each window. Grab the last tab in
one window and drag it to the left of the first tab. Now grab it and drag it
to the tab bar on the other IE window. That's what I want to do.

Re: Tab feature request

Yes I could open a new tab, drag link to the page I want from one window into
the new tab of that window then go back to the other window and close the tab
I no longer want in the other window. But then I might as well just create my
own operating system from scratch, implement a command line web browser and
then I can do EVERYTHING manually, yay! The whole point of user interfaces
are to make things easier for you and the more you can add intuitive methods
of performing common tasks that usually take multiple actions the better.

I'm not looking for a work around here, I'm suggesting a feature.

Re: Tab feature request

if you want to see a good interface for IE go to www.avantbrowser.com

The IE7 interface sucks big time
