Yes please pass this on because while it may benefit some, based on my work it creates an issue.
At least in the preferences, we should have an option to set it at whatever setting works for the way we use it.
The way the default setting is right now creates a mess as I have 3 dropbox tabs open at once and use them for different things while doing my daily work. My coworkers are having the same issue. Since last week when doing my work after each client I work on I have 6-8 tabs open when I am done. I do 50 clients a week and this has become a lot of extra work and unnecessary turning off and on of the tabs.
Totally uncool not to give us an option....everyone works differently and you completely did not take this into account nor care to offer the option to your subscribers who actually use this application.
I hope you will consider offering a settings preference as I am sure it is a simple code to put in just as it was simple for you to change the default.
