How do you define the location for new tabs?

I'm looking through help and configuration, and the ini, and I don't see it.

The easiest way in my opinion to create a new tab where you want it, is to right click on the folder in the tree and select "Open in new Tab". You can also shift normal (left) click to simply create a new tab. If you already created a new tab, using Ctrl-T or by right clicking on a tab or in the tab area, then you should right click on the tab and select "Relocate Tab...". In the box type in the new folder location.

Look for "Tabbed Browsing" under "Main Topics" in Help for more info.

I create new tabs by clicking on the + button, to the right of the currently-open tabs, or with ctrl+T. Whenever I do, it always opens in C:\data.

I opened a new tab, "Right-click > Relocate"-ed it to where I want the default new tab to be, then when opening a second new tab, it's still C:\data.

I don't see anything in that help section that applies.

Hi,

• <STRG>+<T>: if there's a left-sibling it's similar to duplicate tab
• Like Klownboy but using the <SHIFT>+<LMD> (aka left-click) approach
• Simple relocating with <CTRL>+<L> (assigned to #1014) and manually entering the new path (using 6 Key Navigation) or pasting a path, snippet copied anywhere. In the meantime I have reassigned <CTRL>+<L> to a little UDC helper

This should help. Enter this in the addressbar:

Code: Select all

::if (confirm("XY will restart to fix the issue.<crlf 2>saves settings beforehand?")==1){savesettings;} $k='StartPathNewTab';$s='Settings';setkey input('New Tab Path','Enter default path for new tabs<crlf>Keep empty to open new tabs in active paths',getkey($k,$s),s),$k,$s;exit 'nr';

[/size]ed: explanation: the script just modifies the value value of an ini tweak key, `StartPathNewTab`.

That's it! I just went into the ini and changed it! A tweak
