New tab only opened when jumping to other Block or New Item

Post by vdongen »

How to make it possible that a new tab will be opened only if I:

- Jump to a new Block color defined area? (so not if I brows within it)
- New Item defined area? (so not if I brows within it)

Look at "Lock Home Zone" for the first. The 2nd... I don't get what you mean.

- Not automatically. Home Zone is a property of tabs, boxed branch is a property of tree folders. The two are independent. But of course, you can manually define a Home Zone that matches a boxed branch.

- home zone per Category -> Item: again, you can do this manually.

The way I understood this was that Bart wants to define a set of folders as one home zone and browsing within these folders should not open newer tabs. Ofcourse then, if one deviates from these set of folders during browsing then a new tab is opened.
But maybe i understood it wrong.

Currently the home zone is one branch (= 1 folder with all its subfolders). You cannot have different branches in one home zone.

Ofcourse, I know that (atleast). But Bart might be making a wish to have a several location set to one tab, like for example having all of the below locations (which belong to one category (XYplorer) in catalog) into one tab:
C:\Program files\XYplorer
D:\XYplorer_scripts
E:\XYplorer_thumbs

So, browsing inside the "blue" folders keeps you in one tab and when you deviate from this a new tab is opened.
While I know that such a thing is not possible now as home zone means one location (not three), the idea is good especially for those who hate opening several tabs.

Okay, I slowly get the idea. It's good. It would of course need a redesign of the home zone related UI which is now logically connected to the Home of a tab.

But, right now is not a godd time to open this can. Please, save the wish for later...

Sure, but its not my wish, I was just trying to understand Bart's original wish. I hope this is not my wrong interpretation of his wish.

I know it's not your wish. It was a general "you" ... :) ... and even if it was a wrong interpretation: the idea is good.
