I like these ideas (you should file a separate bug for the second one, dragging tabs between windows), and a "consolidate windows" function might be nice given we can't implement full single-window mode currently....

Tweaking summary now that drag tabs between windows is filed as bug 318260.

Since no one's said otherwise yet, confirming.

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

seems reasonable to consdier a "merge all tabs into a window" menu item in the Windows menu. Could be cnsidered a bit of clutter though...

Might be best to hold off until bug 339472 is resolved to keep from potentially causing a lot of dataloss all at once.

You should be able to do this (minus the dataloss issues related to bug 339472) with AppleScript now, and then add that script as a toolbar item if you want to do this a lot.

In the event someone was watching this bug waiting for a datalossy solution as described in comment 7, it's been available for some time as http://pimpmycamino.com/parts/combine-windows

So sorry, I didn't see that duplicate, I promise I did search for it (ie: I guess my keyword didn't hit) Thanks guys. 

I will also check-out that other add-in, but, of course, the idea of losing data while merging all my tabs in to one window does not really wind my binder much.

Cheers.
