Open folder in new tab when not using "multiple instances"

[kiwichick]

Hi there, In Configuration I have "Allow multiple instances" unchecked. But when I open a folder from a source outside XYplorer, it opens using the current XYplorer tab rather than opening in a new tab. This is a real pain if the folder in the current tab is also required. Have I missed a setting somewhere or is there no way to make it open using a new tab? Cheers.

By what application and with which settings?...

By what application

From any other application that opens folders. My Everything search program, for one. Selecting "Open file location" from any file's Properties, for another.

and with which settings?...

The settings I mentioned above - "Allow multiple instances" unchecked. What other settings do you mean?

Hi Don, Did you see this? Is there a way to stop this behaviour and create a new tab when a folder is opened opened from an external application? Cheers.
