Delay before activating tab header - Solved!

Post by avsfan »

I use XY in dual-pane mode, with a horizontal split (one tab on top, one on the bottom).

If I try to drag a file from one pane into the other, if I don't drag through the active tab of the lower pane, the lower pane immediately switches to the tab that I crossed (which is almost never what I want to happen).

Could we please have an option (tweak would be just perfect) to set the delay before activation when touching/hovering a tab? Even something like 50-100ms should be fine -- just so it doesn't activate as I skim over the top of it... I've also had the same issue when dragging to another application and happen to cross the tab bar, and things change -- not what I want...

Anyone else in favor of something like this? (a second fool, please? :) )

Thanks!

EDIT: Just looked in config file and saw: "DelaySelectHoveredTab=0" -- so it's already there! 100ms seems just about perfect for me...

(making this an edit rather than deleting the post in hopes it's useful to someone else!)

Well, if you look hard enough you will even find this setting in Configuration / Tabs... :P

Nah, that makes it WAY too easy... :D

(funny how there are still things that I'm finding even after using XY for years! just like getting presents! :) )
