Unnamed tab bug

[Chris Wood]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a named tab / make a new tab from a named tab
2. Rename the tab blank to make it an unnamed tab
3. Select another (full-screen/maximized) application
4. Go back to TrackerV3

The unnamed tab will now have its old name. Click on a folder however (any folder, even the currently selected folder), and it goes back to being an unnamed folder.

Yep, very good, thanks! Fixed it. (Won't mention it in the history because the description is much longer than the solution )

And thanks for the donation! Only now I got message from paypal that i have to click somewhere to "accept" the payment! Well, I accepted!

I get something similar to this. Am using TV3 4.0.0050.

(1) Start with one tab
(2) Name it by right clicking on the tab
(3) Navigate to another folder in the treeview
(4) Press CTRL+T

For some reason the second tab is created with the same name as the first.

Don't know if this is the same bug as reported by Chris.

POST SCRIPT - After seeing the TV3 home page refer to tabs, I downloaded TV3 4 and looked at the Help text. Hmmm ... no instructions on actually what to do to use tabs. Needed to go back to home page to even see an example of what the tabs looked like. Then had to hunt them out in the menus. Noobies will find it even harder than I did. Unless I am exceptionally unintelligent. Hmmm ... now, there's a possibility! :-)

This is exactly what is supposed to happen. What did you expect to happen?

Oh yes, thanks. The help file is my curse...

After following the steps I descibe above I expected the new tab to have the name of the (different) folder which is now in focus.

In my STEP 1 above I was in D:\DATA. In STEP 3, I changed folder so that now the focus in the treeview is on the C:\WINDOWS folder and that window is the active window because the focus highlighting is in dark blue. The when I press CTRL+T I would have expected the new TV3 tab to be called C:\WINDOWS. But the tab gets called D:\DATA

If you named the tab "D:\DATA" (strange name if you ask me), the new tab will have the same name.
A new tab is always a perfect clone of the current tab with one exception: it has no home.

Now then Donald I don't want to nag (wagging finger and starting to scold) but TV's help file is still rather devoid of any real info on how to use tabbed browsing.

In truth, I came to this forum right now to try and remind myself of how to use TV3's tabs. Unfortunately I have to say that I am not a whole lot wiser right now except for a lot of detail which is probably superceded by some posting further down the thread.

I do know that clicking a tab in some way can lose it and its results :-( Hey, I am a danger to myself (heh!) when I use tabs because I can't find much in the help text to guide me. So, nudge nudge!

Sorry, just coming back from a little holiday I'm a bit lost now. "Clicking a tab you can lose it"??? I have no idea what you mean. And neither what exactly you are missing in the help file. Isn't tab usage common knowledge these days?
