Or perhaps/also the option to see the file name when hovering over the 
thumbnail on the Tab bar, like a tooltip?

What if the Tab bar were configurable to be larger or smaller? Could the 
Tab bar could be configured to have a draggable and/or options menu 
range from say 0 or 10 pixels (for people who really don't want the Tab 
bar, I can't be the only one) up to say 128 pixels wide for people who 
want really large thumbnails?
