Open in Tabs always replaces all other open tabs ?

Question

This is unacceptable. Suppose I have 5 open tabs and then I pres Open in Tabs (this command is available on the Toolbar when I create collections)
This will close down all the 5 open tabs and replace them with the tabs in the folder!! I want to keep my 5 tabs open aswell.

Yes, I use the internet extensively most days and just switched to Mac/Safari from Windows/Internet Explorer. I love Apple and the Mac. So much easier to use in many ways, especially when you learn shortcuts. On Windows/IE I could have 3-6 browsers open, each with their own tabs, and see in them in the task bar and easily choose them. I am having trouble with this kind of visibility while switching in Safari. One thing I do love is the tab collections. Excellent! I have one for the weather, with 2 tabs in it, and one for my investments, with 3 tabs. I would agree strongly that their needs to be an option to open these collections in tabs, where it added to the existing browser's tabs instead of replacing them. Also, another need: Allow me to see titles of my open browsers and when I hit Apple` (Command`) to switch browsers, I see the focus change to the other browser title, on the bottom of the screen like the tabs go across the top. Or have them pop up where the tabs are now, when Command` is hit. Then they switch back when you let go of Command`. For people like me who are on sometimes 10 browsers, each with 3-5 tabs, all day long, there needs to be much more visibility to what is open, and easy ways using both shortcuts and mouse to navigate all of the browsers and tabs and be able to see your browser titles with tab titles underneath. Like a sitemap or an outline with indents. It could me similar to when you hit Command-tab. I actually think Command tab should be expanded to include the browser windows, each one becoming an "application" along side of Word, Mail, iCal, Address Book, etc, all of which I have open all day. Then I can easily switch between my apps and browsers and have good visibility. Now I have to switch to Safari, then a second motion and process to switch to the correct browser out of 3-6, or even 10 browsers. So you could put them in the popup when Command - tab is hit. Then under each browser, show me an abbreviated title of the browser, and under it, show me abbreviated tab titles associated with that browser. Allow me in preferences to show or not show the tab titles. Expose is great but I would rather have the choice to do everything with Command - tab. For how much I use the internet, Command-tab keeps my hands on the keyboard and saves me so much time because I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard. Expose is great, but I loose time. Clicking on the Safari dock icon and holding is good too, but again my hands leave the keyboard, maybe 50 times a day and it costs me time and is inefficient. This whole thing I just wrote is a fabulous idea. It would be revolutionary if Apple did this. Apple - If you like this idea I have another one that is completely revolutionary and a whole new product/communication concept. I need to get a provisional patent on it first before sharing it. Anyway, I'm an ideas guy and commonly have great ideas and would like to know how I can do that with Apple on a consulting basis through my company, Kokopelli's Earth, Inc. www.kokopellisearth.com. Meanwhile, I'm just going to keep posting on these boards. Watch my posts. They may not be often, but when I say something, it will usually be a pretty good idea. Or at least start the thinking process on how to improve something greatly. At least I think so. I love what you are doing. I have changed over all of my stuff to Apple. 2 Mac Books in the house, 2 iPhones, Mobileme, Time Capsule, Apple TV, Airport. Love it all, works so well and easy, great support on the phone and fabulous in the store. Amazing stuff. Sorry to ramble but I just needed to say all of that. Hope this helps someone. Peace
