Tabs aren’t showing in Photo Beta

[alanbrownone]

Using the latest release of Photo Beta, when I import multiple png files, there are no multiple tabs showing. Doesn’t matter how many are brought in. 
 

is this a known bug? Is there some setting that needs to be turned on?

This is on a MacBook Pro using the latest official OS release and latest Photo beta release. 
 

Thanks for any help!!

Hi @alanbrownone,
Welcome to Affinity Forums  
Thanks for your feedback. This is something we are already aware and that's logged with dev.
I've bumped the report for you. Thanks

@MEB: Is this other topic the same problem?

Must be the same, yes. For me it _looks_ like it only opens one picture, but that is because the tabs are missing. When I close one picture, the next one is open "behind" it.

It's the same issue.

The document tabs will not be shown if you open 2+ documents at once regardless of whether you use File > Open, drag and drop from Finder, or right click in Finder and choose Open/Open With.

If you already have multiple open documents so there are tabs shown, the new documents will be shown in the active tab without new tabs being created.

I find that if I float one of the images then the others will appear in Tabs in the Consolidated window. Then I can consolidate all again to have tabs.

Fixed for me with the latest update 2.2.0 (1971)

Not for me. I also run the latest 2.2.0 (1971) beta and still have tabs not showing up on opening multiple files.

Hi Kaffeeundsalz,

Are you able to attach a screen recording (of the whole screen) of the steps you're taking to reproduce this please? I've just opened up 5 images and they're currently showing.

It is worth noting that there are still some issues with the fix that we have seen whereby New Views aren't opening up separate tabs and opening multiple Book Chapters in Publisher is showing one less than is opened.

This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
