Did you even look at the "Panes" menu before you posted this? :evil:
Please look before you write!

Ok, so there isn't a way to move/copy all the tabs to the other pane but the current tab can be done so quite easily.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

i'm hoping there is a way to do similar without creating a new tab in the other pane. i just want the folder in the other pane to switch to viewing the folder in my current pane without creating a new tab. is there a command that can do this?

i'm also looking for a command that can swap the 2 active folders between the panes...

There's a command for vice versa:
CKS / Miscellaneous / List / Go to Other Location
Since its in the "Miscellaneous" category it is not reachable via the main menu. You need to apply a KS to it, or use it in a script (as #1070;).

No, but you can drag tabs across panes, so that's easily done.

If all you want is to swap the current folder of both panes, just assign this script to whatever you want :

Code: Select all

 $this = <get path>; $that = <get path i>; goto $that; focus pi; goto $this; focus pi;
Should do the trick.

that makes the current pane folder show the other pane folder. is there a way to switch this behavior? to make the other pane folder show the current pane folder?

Yes, there's a command in CKS/Miscellaneous / List / Go to Other Location. Just apply a KS or create a user button for it (#1070;).
