from the the patch notes:
 Quote:
If you have custom tab(s) in your overview then there is no "default" tab anymore. The "default" tab is only loaded if you have no tab settings. You can have up to 5 custom tabs.
why did you change this? there was nothing wrong with the default tab in combination with custom tabs.
i was using the default tab when i had custom overview tabs.
i see no reason for removing it and besides as it is now its a bit confusing when there is no default tab displayed on the overview but it do exist in the settings where you setup tabs.
if its supposed to be gone then it should be gone in both places.
and it also feels a bit odd that just because you create a custom tab the default one is auto removed, what if you had settings on it that you used?

We have considered having more than one "Not Saved" setting, essentially S1 and S1* and S2 and S2* (where the * is the often used indicator that a something has changed but has not yet been saved). In that design T1 would switch from S1 to S1+M1=S1* and T2 would switch from S2 to S2+M2=S2*.
that or something similar is what I've always wanted, even before you introduced the tabs.
i was thinking something like: if you load a saved setting this is marked as active for that tab, possibly with some kind of radio button in the menu to indicate that its the active one.
and then any changes made is auto saved back to that active setting.

But we want to keep this simple and not add buttons and options all over if that doesn't solve the use cases.
Yes, keep it simple.
i'm not sure i think the current overview is simple, just look at the number of guides out there on how to setup the overview.
but its not easy to change now that everyone has gotten used to how the current behavior.
it should be so easy to setup that you don't need any guides to figure out how it works.
and i don't agree with the change you made to remove the Default tab when you have custom tabs, it's odd and not intuitive

You are misunderstanding the behaviour of the tabs. They don't overwrite your settings, they are simply workspaces that switch from one setting to another. Your Word document example is the opposite behaviour of the tabs.
if i understand your previous post changing any tab makes it use the "not saved" setting and since that is global you just potentially destroyed another tabs "not saved" setting.
i think that's where the overwrite part came from.
