Hi,

here is my example:

I have a table with about 8-10 tabs.

Contact Info | Post List | Post Address | Ball
Club 1 | Club 2 | Club 3
Bank Account | Donations

In the "Contact Info" I have some checkboxes which will activate some 
fields. The problem is when empty tabs are removed, some tabs will 
jupp... You also get the information, that somebody is in Club 1, Club 2 
or Club 3.


In addition, I have developed "conditional required" ( 
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6173) fields, so you can realy build 
buissness models with tables". And for that you sometimes want to see, 
that a tabs is empty, but there are options which could be activate it. 
  But until now there was a big interesst in it...)

If you set dividers2tabs = 2 in the TCA, so it is not generally change. 
Only for a single table.

And the other point is, that the disabling was already implemented 
before you changed it. The check for disabling did not work, because 
there was/is a wrapper, which makes the activation impossible.
In your patch-request you forget to mention, that you can also disable a 
field via $TCA displayCondition.

I hope, I could give you idea of what I wanted.

Cheers,

Malte
