pane parameter for tab()

Post by highend »

Could you please add a pane parameter to tab()?

It should support the same syntax as get("bytesselected") (a = default, i, 1, 2)

tab([operation], [data], [index], [ID], [pane])

Whenever a script is needed that works for dual pane as well it's a pain in the ... that we need to do the focus switching. Especially when a script takes a bit of time and tab switching takes longer because of this... One of the few things that is really cumbersome regarding the scripting power / capabilities of XY

Sounds easy but in this case it's a LOT of work. Sorry, but it won't happen soon.

In my very first scripts I used the PI construct to let things happen in the other pane.
Now i have for example the following line and use that outcome in places which need the other pane.
$other = get("path", i) . "\";
