Description

Wish there is more than two tabs that can be used in amaze. Some productive people like to use big storage for their phones (im using 1tb sdcard :) ) it would very helpful for them an ability to works with multiple tab as much.

A solution will be to increase tabs from 2 to 4 or maybe more.

Alternative long term solution would be to add dynamic tabs where user can create new tab by long press folder and "open in new tab" option.

Another solution would be option to open new amaze instance (multiple amaze opened) with linked transfer cut copy etc between instance, this also enable dual amaze to be used in split screen view.

Many thanks in advance.

Research direction

Start by reviewing AmazeFileManager's existing tab behavior and the issue's proposed alternatives. Decide which scope, such as fixed additional tabs, dynamic tabs, or multiple instances, is intended before identifying the relevant Android entry points. Done means the selected multi-tab behavior works reliably and its interaction with file operations is defined.
