"Reuse existing tabs..." doesn't work in Tree.

[Evolve]

Code: Select all

Configuration | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing the location

Works perfectly fine in the Catalog, but doesn't work in the Tree.

There is a tweak to achieve what you want:

Code: Select all

    + Added tweak to reuse existing tabs when changing locations in whichever 
      way:
        TabReuseTabsRadical=1
      It supersedes the less radical UI setting "Configuration | Tabs and Panes 
      | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing the location" which excludes 
      Tree, List and Breadcrumb.

However, I'm open to change. Should I drop the tweak and make "Reuse existing tabs when changing the location" radical? ATM I don't see much use in the distinction.

I have set TabReuseTabsRadical=1
I don't see a reason why this can't be the default.

[Evolve]

+1 for defaulting radical consistent.

[klownboy]

I'm also "radical'.

Wow, that tweak exists already since a year ago: viewtopic.php?p=181218#p181218
If I had only known. I recently made an extra AHK script to achieve that.
I always wondered why the tree does not reuse tabs correctly. (It does so, only if the current tab is locked).
I always wanted the tree to reuse tabs under any condition as well but never dared to ask.
What reason is there for the tree not to reuse tabs in the normal way?
+1 for "radical".

[admin]

Okay.

Its a bug or I missunderstand the function.
With 22.30.0203 I have set
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Reuse existing tabs when changing the location
but that doesn't work from the Tree in dual pane mode.
I have a dir open in a tab on the inactive side and some other dir on the active side.
If I click in the Tree on a dir which is the one on the inactive tab
it opens this dir on the active side and doesn't reuse the tab on the inactive side.

[admin]

It only works for the active pane tabs. IMO changing the active pane would be unexpected (too radical).

Okay.

Many many thank yous! A long time dream come true. Seriously.

[Evolve]

One detail that I hope you can improve:
1) two identical tabs are open
2) you go one level deeper
3) click "back" switches you to the second tab (expected, but feels weird TBH)
4) click "forward" does nothing (not expected, breaks the flow)

The suggestion is to either teach "forward" to switch tabs or make exceptions for both "back" and "forward" actions to stay at current tab.

[admin]

I'd go for the latter: exceptions for both "back" and "forward" actions to stay at current tab.

[Evolve]

"Up" should be excepted as well. The sequence "Up" > "Back" is broken the same way.

[autocart]

Those would be all very good improvements. Gradually XY is starting to work as I would have wanted it all along.

[autocart]

"Up" should be excepted as well. The sequence "Up" > "Back" is broken the same way.

Thinking about this some more. "Back and Foreward" are moving through the history/log of the tab itself, so it makes sense to stay on that tab.
However, "Up" does not have anything to do with the history of the tab. It is a "normal" move in the file system's folder structure. Therefore, it should not be an exception.
