Why can I not find a way to see all of my open files as icons? Why can't I conveniently see what files are open in my workplace?

So, with all versions of Photoshop that I have ever used- there is always a section at the bottom where all of my files are visible on a small scale-- if I have a lot of files open, then I might have to scroll down a little bit to see all of them, but, still, all of my files are conveniently accesible and visible to me at the bottom of my workplace. Also, every single file is visible in the tabs at the top. If I open more files- the tabs get smaller and smaller, until I cannot see the file name- BUT atleast I can easily rearrange them and be aware of how many files I have open.

NOW that I have updated to this new version of Photoshop, one of the litany of issues that I have- is that the only place my files show up are as tabs up above my workplace, BUT if I have more than three documents open, then I have to incoveniently click to the right to open a drop down list of the files that are open. There is no visual of what each document is- I am just supposed to remember their names. This makes dragging and dropping almost impossible and incredibly inconvenient. It makes it very difficult to keep my workplace organized. From all of the research that I have done, it seems that there is no solution to this issue and I am really hoping I am wrong. Is there any way to change this? Is there any way to get that section at the bottom of the workplace back, so I can see my open files? Is there any way to make all of the tabs visible together at the top, rather than using this stupid drop down list? It is driving me insane and I cant for the life of me see why these changes were neccesary/ implemented. I am about to go back to using an older version if I can't solve this. Any solutions would be appreciated- thank you!

Do you have a screen shot of how your previous version of Photoshop looked with the images lined up at the bottom? It would be really helpful to see your workspace that you are trying to get back to!

Which version of Photoshop you are referring when mentioning small thumbnails at the bottom? Small thumbnails at the bottom were available with mini Bridge which is gone from Photoshop long time ago.

The only way I can think off for your problem is to record actions with step Window > Arrange > Tile ALl Vertically/Horizontally and Window > Arrange > Consolidate All to Tabs. Tile All Vertically will tile your screen and display open files in separate windows arranged in available space in Ps window, actually image area. Consolidate to Tabs will bring all open files back arranged in tabs, You can assign keyboard shortcuts to play both actions.
