Active tab is used when a folder is opened from outside XY

[nerdweed]

If a folder is opened from outside XY (Default file manager)

1. If the location is already open - it switches to that tab - correct
2. If the active tab is locked and there is a default tab - it opens in default tab - correct
3. If the active tab is locked and there is no default tab - it opens in the next unlocked tab - incorrect - Shouldn't it open in a new tab
4. If the active tab is unlocked and there is no default tab - it opens in this tab - Shouldn't it open in a new tab?

Not sure if that is a bug. The behavior is like this for many years, so it's kind of "time proven". And you can control it: Simply add a default tab (which everybody should do anyway!), and all is fine as you like it.

see if enabling this is any help: Tools > Configuration > Startup & Exit > Open command line start path in new tab

I had been waiting a month for replies but never saw these replies.

It works good with Default tabs. For 3 and 4, I have started passing the parameters through XY Remote Control and now it works as I would like it to.
