Tdesktop: open chats in separate tabs

[MetaiR]

I hope it's not duplicate.
it's just a suggestion.

we have more spaces than a smartphone on a PC, I just think it'll be very nice if each chat can be opened on a separate tab like a browser that you can see a website on different tabs. so this can save lots of time and help for chatting with multi persons.

does it possible?

@MetaiR It is not possible right now :( the app is not written well enough.. yet.

[MetaiR]

@john-preston
can it be a feature to work on in the future?

[john-preston]

@MetaiR Yes, it can be. But there are too many problems currently, so I don't know when I'll be able to work on that:(

[gudvinr]

@MetaiR for what? We already have chats list so why do you need another one?

@MetaiR
It's alredy here. You have tabs. Not on top side but on the left.

[MetaiR]

@gudvinr @Vilmodao
if you have the top one and it just has a few chats which you talk to theme right now, not all of the chats,
for example, I have about 100 chats (including channel and groups). I usually checked 20 from theme every hour and sometimes other chats
so if I have a both list (like a browser) I can reach them very faster and can close theme (remove from the top) and open others

@john-preston Long time, no progress :sob:

This is really an important feature. Channels and chats update more regularly than personal chats and they come up the list. When somebody is member of a lot of channels and chats, it is really disturbing.

What are those many problems preventing you from implementing this feature? It looks like easy from distance by the way!

[john-preston]

@pazis Currently the app is written badly, it supports only one chat display in the entire process (a lot of code works with that single chat view instance directly). So to support displaying several chats in different tabs a lot of things should be rewritten.

Hey, it would still be pretty cool to be able to open chats in a separate window
