No

It would be nice to open tabbed sub-windows for each
sub-directory. Currently, I run about 7 instances of
WinCVS...one for each sub-directory I'm working in. I'd
prefer one instance of WinCVS with 7 tabs.

    You mean, "Change location" interface is insufficient
    for you?

    # For changing location: View -> Browse Location -> Change
    # For browsing its history: use combobox placed on toolbar

    I have several active local copies(more than 7), but I run
    only single instance of WinCvs, though rarely I run two or
    three...

    Hello Hiroaki:

    Yes. The change location interface is insufficient.

    I want to preserve my cursor selection and sub-directory
    location. Each time I change location, I have to navigate to
    the correct sub-directory and file within a sub-directory.

    Just like in Mozilla, each tab preserves its URL and position
    on the web page. I would like WinCVS to have tabs, each
    with its own sub-directory location and output window.

    Hmmm. Though I predicted your answer was such that...

    In fact, I have had the same thoghts, but at least for me,
    I found the change location interface is sufficient.

    Indeed, your idea is interesting...

    1. Tabs are planned for "after 1.4 stable" version. It's too
    much of a change to do it now.

    2. It may be possible to store the folder selection when
    changing the browse locations which should help to ease the
    pain of re-selecting when changing.

    IMHO it would be more useful to tab existing WinCVS
    subwindows (main one and graphs).
    And properly handling of WinXP themes would be great also :-)

    Both of which are really good ideas IMO but should better be
    addressed in individual RFEs.
