Close last tab in 2nd pane should hide 2ndpane (insted of showing tab cannot be closed)

Post by Yogui »

When closing the last tab in 2nd pane do hide the 2nd pane (insted of showing cannot be closed message box)

May be add an option "close pane instead of last tab" in the Configuration "Tabs and Panes" > "Dual Pane"

It is a dual pane file manager and each pane has at least one tab.

Thanks RalpM,
I corrected the post grammar panel for pane
and close for hide

The wish is that:
closing the last tab in 2nd pane will hide the 2nd pane (leaving the tab as part of the 2nd pane that can shown again)
(insted of showing tab cannot be closed message box)
Thanks, Yogui

If you close your tabs with a middle-click (mouse wheel) as I do (don't even have [x] close button on them), then you can assign a script that will do what you want. Here is how.

Tools - Configuration - General - Custom Event Action - Clicking on Tabs - Middle-click on tab
In "Action" select "Run script", in "Script" type:

Code: Select all

load 'close_tab';
Press OK.
File - Save Settings.
Then go to XY scripts folder (you can get there by typing <xyscripts> in the address bar and pressing enter) and create a script file close_tab.xys containing this script:

Code: Select all

 $num_of_tabs = tab("get", "index", -1);
 $pane = get("pane");
 if ($pane == 2 && $num_of_tabs == 1 ){
		#802;
		#800;
	} else {
		tab("close",,indexatpos());
	}

A small update, after updating to version 25.3 the script stopped working
as the tab("get", "index") needed -1 parameter removed fixed
updated script below, thanks!!

Code: Select all

 if (get("pane") == 2 && tab("get", "index") == 1 )
	{
		#802;
		#800;
	} else {
		tab("close",,indexatpos());
	}
Thanks, Yogui
