launch XYplorer with different tabs

Post by lian00 »

Hello,
I suppose it's a dumb question but I did not find the info: I want to launch XYplorer with two selected directories in two tabs. How to get this ?

Just open XY, configure two tabs, choose your directories, save settings?

Or does launch mean: These directories can be different each time?
If that's true, help file, Configuration - Command Line Switches

You'd need the /script option, e.g. like:

Code: Select all

XYplorer.exe /script="::tab('new', 'C:\Windows'); tab('new', 'C:\Users');"

Thanks.
The first solution is not the good one as I need to get the same directories at each launch.
I suppose the script solution is the one I have to look at.

As I needed to close all previously open tabs, I put

Code: Select all

/script="::tab('new', 'E:\images');tab('closeothers'); tab('new', 'E:\flashget');"
