List all tabs? Just a list of all your tabs. Open about 20 tab then click on it.

I seem to remember a thread where Jeff Bargmann said it was an option that didn't get implemented (accidentally left on the menu) so it shouldn't do anything until the next release.

I'll tell you what the issue is (as I see it) and why I don't think it'll make it onto the final release. This is my opinion only. 
Everywhere else in OD(+) the icons represent shortcuts to something. The folder tabs would be more "real" than anything else. This is a pardigm shift and the behavior might be unexpected for the user.
I.E. everywhere else dragging a file deletes the ling, here, it would delete the file. Whoops!

It would however give the user a drag and drop format for file manipulation. There's currently another active thread from a person who has used the MAC dock and misses the ability.
It could be set up so any file dragged out (by accident) would just move to the desktop or a verification dialog for copy/move/deletions could be included. It's a "Wish List" item and not real high on MY list.
