I love the passion Peteris Karklins put on every one of his words. I totally agree in each one of them. There should be a setting for tabs, the kind of info they show, and an easy wheel scroll navigation feature.  Davescm advice works... but I must say those extra clicks turns consciously tedious when you are working everyday with 50 files opened at once (not an uncommon thing when designing assets for web). Today is 2025. And competitors like CANVA are not the same they were on 2017... So, in a history moment when we have technology wonders like A.I. implementation, fixing these kind of things should be peanuts for a company like Adobe. 

No comment on how many lines of code it might take, but just want to voice my support for some other tab paradigm. It's a pain to use on a laptop if you have more than three documents open. Web browsers will shrink the tab and hide the overflow text that doesn't fit. I think all of that info could (and often already does) fit in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

Please just add option to restrict tab title length by like 10 characters max, it's literally 3 lines of code and 20 minutes of testing for you to do this...

everyone uses tabs in browsers for ages and adobe literally cant figure it out how to scale them and make them more user friendly for people who works with more than 3 images at the time. 

Tabs drive me batty- the absolute WORST of Windows-style UI. I turn them off on both platforms.

Dear lord who the UI designer what invented scrolling tabs should be hung up by his noes hair, in my professional opinion.  It seems its become a bad fad.  

  Every time I try to work between mulitple open documents, more than will fit on the tab bar, I end up wanting to poke my eyes out. 

Humans orient them selves, their work spatially. Both in the world and in their concputual represntations.  Many tasks requre you to refere to a base docuemnt or documents.  When tabs stay in one place, you can develop speed and accuracy of your mouse/input motions, and ultimately work efficiendy, which by the way translates to dollars in my work. 

When tabs are shifting arround it makes exponentially harder to get the work done becuase the frame of reference shifts.  That is freakin' basic UI/UX 101 folks.

Please, this has gone too far.  Now matter how cool your UI designers think it is, pity user and at least give us the option of squeezing all the tabs they want down to fit the current window frame - leave it up to us!

+1. It is very unhelpful having tab widths change when selecting different layers.

Adobe, can you please add options to Photoshop:

• Only display filename in tab (I don't need to know what layer I have selected)
  
  
• Options for "maximum tab width" and "minimum tab width"
• Show thumbnail previews when hovering over a tab
  
  
• Implement a visual tab overview mode, much like when pressing Alt+Tab on Windows to display all open apps – a shortcut to display all open windows/tabs, with a thumbnail for each, would be super handy
  
  
• Add options for "tab groups", or even specifying a colour for a tab, would be helpful
  
  
• Pinned tabs
  
  
• Tab scrolling

There's no proper solution to this but my workaround is Window - Arrange - 'Tile All Vertically' - or some other option in that menu.  It lets you navigate between open documents in a more visual way and yes you can get it so all your tabs are visible at once and you don't have to click the drop down >> menu.

Any news or updates on this for the new 2020 Photoshop CC? I work in multiple files at once so to only see 2-3 tabs in Photoshop visible in the interface is pointless. It would be the internet browser equivalent to having tabs display the full URL and page titles. HELP.
