Restore new tab from pane's "+"-button as cloning

[Filehero]

Code: Select all

v21.10.0007 - 2020-09-21 20:15
     .....
    * Menu View | Tab | New Tab: Now it opens the new tab at "This PC" unless a 
      new tab path is defined at "Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | New 
      tab path".

This now also happens when I add a new tab using the pane's "+"-button (which is also very non-instant, btw).
So far, this action just cloned the current tab in this pane which made a lot of sense in order to quickly manage many tabs pointing to closely related locations.

To restore this very useful behavior I need to have

Code: Select all

v21.10.0007 - 2020-09-21 20:15
    + Menu View | Tab: Added command "Clone Tab". Opens a clone of the current 
      tab (without Home, Locked status or Visual Filter).

bound to a pane's "+"-button.

+1 - I much prefer the previous default option of cloning. Now I am having to use the right-click Tab, Clone option and have no use for the "+" button really.

Like Filehero mentioned, I am typically in need of a tab that is relatively close to the tab I had active. Much faster getting to the new location versus starting at This PC.

OK, I will add sth to allow clone on New Tab.

Opening "This PC" is non-instant??? You mean slow?

I also prefer to have "CLONE TAB" back when clicking on "+". Because I usualy want to work around the folder in the tab on left side of new one. And yes, "this PC" takes 5 seconds to show for me.

1. OK, next version will be better.

2. Why could that be? It's instant here.

Yep. I have rather a bunch of drives/partitions which apparently needs some time to gather the information. But it's not slower than clicking on the "This PC" tree node in any other existing tab, so no (new) problem here XYplorer could solve.

[admin]

It worries me a bit because the factory default setup is to start at "This PC". If this can be so slow it will make a bad first impression.

If you start up at "This PC" and then do text <get loadtimes>, 800, 680;, does it tell you anything useful?

Fast on startup, slow later???

Fast on startup, slow later???

Seems not really reproducible. Now I had some cycles where restart or new tab were nearly instant. Then again, when I was activating a different (any other) tab before hitting "+" it were delayed again. Windows caching (prefetch/super fetch)?

Sorry, not more time now.

[admin]

Maybe later you can check whether this only happens on New Tab (and not on any other way to go to My PC).

Needs no further check - it's the same for both.

I think it's related to my setup: from the previous tests above I had the remaining "This PC" tab inactivated. Just by clicking on it I've seen the same delay. Now I guess it's simply due to my last real hard drive (with platters) which needs some time to get awake. Since I never navigate the "This PC" node on purpose this change just made me aware of that.

[admin]

OK, sleeping drives are a drag for speed maniacs.

You will like the new New Tab.

The glory past has been restored. Thanks, Don.

Thank you for this and all the recent updates lately. These features, tweaks, fixes, etc. are all very useful.
