fixed tab

[inkognito]

is there an option for fixing the tabs?


maybe this quote from the totalcommander help file could tell you what i want to do....



Tabs context menu

Right clicking on the tabs will open a context menu with the following commands:

- Duplicate this tab -> Creates a new tab with the same directory as the current tab.
- Rename/lock tab -> Allows to rename the current tab, and lock it if necessary.
- Lock this tab -> Locks a tab. You cannot change dirs on locked tabs.
- Locked, but directory changes allowed -> Locks a tab. Reverts to the saved dir when switching to a different tab and back, or when clicking the root button. Useful e.g. to save the root of a project.
- Copy tab to other panel -> Create new tab in other panel with current dir.

- Save tabs to file -> Save tab locations, names etc. of current panel to a file.
- Save tabs on both sides to file -> Same command, but for both panels.
- Load tabs from file, keep current -> Load tabs (saved earlier) and append the tabs to the existing.
- Load tabs from file, replace tabs -> Load tabs, but replace all current tabs with the saved tabs.
- Close this tab -> Closes tab on which you right-clicked.
- Close all tabs -> Closes all tabs except for locked tabs. The current dir will be kept.

- Close duplicate tabs -> Closes all tabs pointing to identical dirs. Only one tab for each dir is kept.


in particular i want to see a feature like "Lock tab / Lock tab but dir changes allowed

that would be a great help for navigating through the ur-database.

if there's no such option/feature fell free to take this as a feature request ;)

thanks

Hi,

I would like to get in Ultra Recall a behaviour of the tabs similar to the one in Total Commander. In TC you can lock a tab.

The problem with the current behaviour of tabs in UR 3.2.6 is that I can continue to navigate in a given tab.

Typically I want to work on a given Item. I open this item in a tab and would like this tab to be locked, that is to say I cannot modify the item edited in this tab. If I navigate in the Data Explorer, a new tab will be opened. Also note that this is not the same as read-only. For my scenario, the tabs is fully editable.

Regards
Eric

"Tab Enhancements"

Hi,

"Tab Enhancements" is however a bit vague.

On the other hand "Lock tab" and "Lock tab but dir changes allowed" is exactly what I am looking for. UR tabs would really benefit from these features. I just hope the Ultrareacall team will consider these features.

Thanks and Regards
Eric

No big deal, just thought you'd want to know.
