Tabsets - Explain like I am 5

Post by mec337 »

I am sure this question has already been asked but I can't find where.

My understanding is that it allows you to save and load a set of tabs, However if I save a tabset close or change the view in the currently open tabs.. and load a saved tabset, the tabs are not loaded and as such not the view.

Please could someone explain, or point to a youtube value.

Regards.
Martin

Works fine here. The easiest way: Just click "Save" when you like your tabs, the "Revert to Saved" to restore them to this state.

Save tabset: Override the current tabset

Load Tabset: Change the pane to the selected tabset

Revert to saved: Return the curently loaded tabset to how it was when you last saved it.

So basically, to return to your saved state use the revert option.

I use this little script to change tabsets...

Code: Select all

...
0) Default|tabset('load', 'Default [Left]', 1); tabset('load', 'Default [Right]', 2);  focus('P1'); status('Default Tabset Loaded')|<xyicons>\programs\xy.ico

Thanks for the post.. revert to saved makes sense now.

I am trying to use in dual pane and I was expecting pane 2 to remember the folder, it was last at - but pane 2 seems to be an independent view of the last folder that was active in that pane.

I want to do side by side (Vertical panes) so that I can copy from the selected left tab to the folder selected in pane 2. I was expecting tabsets to remember what pane 2 was pointed at the point of saving. Am I missing something or a setting?

Each pane has its own tabset.

I cant see how that would be useful (having separate tabsets for dual pane) - doesn't it make sense for dual pane mode to save all tabsets in pane 1 and 2 or am I missing something? surely the whole point of dual pane is to allow easier find, copy paste from source pane to destination pane. I was expecting dual pane to be something similar to muCommander operation
