select multiple folders, rt-click, "Open in New Tab" -> only 1 folder opens

Post by xyplorerköln »

Case:

1. Select multiple folders in an XYplorer pane.
2. Right-click.
3. Select "Open in New Tab."
4. Watch as only 1 folder (the one you happened to mouse-over during right-click) opens as a new tab

I realize I can use XYplorer to open all the selected folders in Windows Explorer. But that's not what I want.

As a user, I expect that if I've selected multiple folders and am asking XYplorer to "Open in New Tab" that the multiple selected folders will open as new tabs in the same XYplorer pane.

Look at the message in the Status Bar when you hover the command: "open the *focused* folder in a new tab". :)

Yes, you are right, and technically that's what occurs.

I suppose I am stating that most users would probably expect the open command to open what they've selected.

Should I post this in the feature request section instead?

Yep, I would post it in the Wishes section.
