Pairs of tabs

Post by tiago »

I'm wondering if XYplorer could have this since a while and the more I work, the more I like the idea.
Wouldn't it be nice to have folders working on pairs, sync'ing one tab on pane 1 to another one in pane 2?
I'll try to illustrate... ('pair "x"' could be replaced by a little number on the far right of each paired tab)
p1:
Tab 1 (pair a) | Tab 2 (pair b)
p2:
Tab 1 (pair a) | Tab 2 (pair b)
So each time I click on Tab 1/pane 1, if Tab 2/pane 2 is visible it'll be turned inactive, replaced by now active pair A of Tab 1, thus making it easy to exchange contents on pairs.
More detailed:
status 1:
p1:
ACTIVE TAB 1 (pair a) | Tab 2 (pair b) | Tab 3 (pair c) | Tab 4 (pair d)
p2:
Tab 1 (pair c) | Tab 2 (pair d) | Tab 3 (pair b) | ACTIVE TAB 4 (pair a)

status 2 - clicking Tab 2/p1/pair B activates Tab 3/p2/pair B:

p1:
Tab 1 (pair a) | CLICKED TAB 2 (pair b) | Tab 3 (pair c) | Tab 4 (pair d)
p2:
Tab 1 (pair c) | Tab 2 (pair d) | ACTIVE TAB 3 (pair b) | Tab 4 (pair a)

Not having to each and every time look after corresponding pair on pane 2 and what I need to do this would be of real help to me...
Power-hungry user!!!

hi! i was reading the highlighted release notes for DO13 and saw a feature called "Paired Folders". i wasn't sure if XY can do this, so i started searching the forum and found this ancient wish.

is something like this already possible, if not, would it be something that could be added ?
