Tab enhancement & History Tree

Hi,

two feature requests:

1) Sometimes i open some new tabs and after a while i don't know from where i have opened them. Please add an option to the tab context menu like Show tab parent that show/re-open the tab where i clicked the link (and focus the link?!?).

2) When browsing a homepage and navigating forward and back, the history should not be implemented as a list it should be a tree. When hovering the forward and back buttons i miss something like a dropdown window that shows all the sites with the same level (tree depth).

Thanks for the best browser in universe.

Did you read the text?



This is a tree structure (very simple on the picture). So how to navigate to page #1 and page #2?

As far as item 1 goes ... I wonder if javascript could do this? An actual pop-up has a property window.opener, so you might be able to do something like window.opener.focus() or some such. (Sorry, my javascript is extremely poor, that's probably the wrong command anyway. Maybe raise instead of focus?)

There is an existing request for item 2 already. However, you'd need a new interface to go with it. the current version of the Forward dropdown couldn't support multiple histories. Also of course the actual saved history (after you close Opera) would need to track which page you were on before, currently it doesn't. (It tracks time, but if you have multiple tabs open and switch tabs then the next page opened will not be from the page most recently opened before it.)
