It seems that with the EA 1.1 patch, the "fixes" to the overview tab issues where Default wasn't saving your current overview was to remove the Default tab entirely if you use custom tabs.
By doing this though, you've now apparently limited us to just 5 tabs max. This isn't nearly enough for what having tabs is good for. I have different settings for normal flight, PvE, PvP, probing, salvaging, and checking out objects in space. That's 6 right there and it was fine for me before but now since I'm down to 5, I have to take one out... which sucks because they're all very useful and I use them quite often.
A very (hopefully) easy solution would be to allow more tabs. I'm not sure what kind of issues might arise if you allow more than even 6 tabs - but perhaps a limit of something like 10 might be easier to accomodate everyone. Alternatively, at least properly fixing the Default tab issue so that users of custom tabs still have their Default tab would be nice (or, don't make it a "pinned" tab that permanently takes a spot in our tab count).
Please & Thank You.

quick fix - right click any tab you know you wont be using and in the menu, click the one you DO want to use. Tab is set to the new one until you redo it. At least that works for me.

Yeah, it works, but I have some that are a mix of brackets and overview settings (not all the same) so it's a slight PITA to constantly have to change them when I want to use them. Especially if I'm in PvP and I have to run and I quickly need a planet to run to or something - flipping to another tab with just that is something I rely on.

Yes, there is - it took me some figuring out to find it. The *only* way is to remove all custom tabs. You'll notice that you'll be stuck with 1 custom tab left - you have to go in to overview settings and delete the name for the tab and hit apply. Now, you get your default tab back... pretty useless eh?
I just renamed my tabs and made my own custom default tab - which is when I noticed the limit on tabs and thought wtf.

TAB 2x, reset window positions, AND deleting all the custom tabs didn't do it, although the deleting all the custom tabs caused the first tab (which is really the second tab) to be named "Default", so you have two tabs named Default, but only one that shows, with a cap of 5.
I am opening a hex editor now and taking it to my Eve configuration files.... I'll just hack it.

Edited by: Fyrkraag on 03/09/2008 19:09:49 hex update - it doesn't matter. I deleted my entire Eve configuration (backed up first, of course) and it still starts with 5 tabs... settings, cache, everything.

Update: - re-installed the client completely and still a maximum of 5 tabs.
Cleared all settings by deleting everything in Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\Eve --- check Re-installed the client -- check Hit Tab 2x and refreshed the windows -- check Went into Settings-->Reset Settings --> Reset Window Positions -- check
Result: Fail.
WTB 6 overview tabs again.

I have 3 accounts. Two of those accounts still have the Default tab on the overview. The 3rd account, however, does not...and it's the one that really needs that tab to be there.
The 3 accounts each have their own separate client, each has to patch separately and I've gone through and set them up so that every setting is identical. But now only 1 is missing the Default overview tab. I'm curious how the client decided that one account should lose the Default tab but the others could keep theirs.

If you have custom tabs then we don't show the default tab. Tab discussions here.

No true. I have 5 custom tabs (therefore 5 tab showing) and while the first, previously the default tab, is a custom and has the label i applied it's displaying whatever settings i last selected. In other words i have 5 tabs, 4 custom and 1 custom, previously default, that while while being able to change its name, is behaving like the old default tab even after i move to another tab and back.
Either way, bug. -------------------------

Intended, if I understand your description correctly. Let's keep the discussion in the other thread.
