You mention one file manger, which other, besides Nautilus, can you
mention? And it's a topic that has been raised many times and the
answer is clear enough, there won't be Tabs in Thunar.

One of my last answers to this was in the forum:
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=22695#p22695

On the other hand a filtering option inside a folder is something very
interesting to have. You, me or someone else just need to take some
spare time to focus on a decent patch that does it right.
