Tab-location binding

[zer0]

I hope that by "locked", you mean locked Home Zone rather than location.

By "locked" I mean a new tab would be opened in the current XYplorer.

That wasn't exactly his issue/question...it was that there are two variants of 'locked" (Home zone -and- location) and that this feature would only apply to Home Zone ones, right?

Correct.

No, we have to distinguish between the current tab, and the tabs that might be selected through this feature. What I mean is:

If the current tab cannot be used for the new location (because it is locked location or locked home zone, no matter), THEN check all tabs with a locked home zone whether they can be used for that location. If yes, select that tab. If not, open a new tab.

Ok, I'm with you and opening a new tab in such circumstances is the way to go.

Added tweak TabBinding. If it works well it might be elevated to UI in the next version.

Rather nice, thank you! A little bug (?) uncovered in the process...if a Home Zone is set at the drive level, tab's icon doesn't change from that of a drive to a folder upon navigation into one of the directories. No such issue with Home Zone unset. Is it an indicator as to the level of the Home Zone setting?

Yes, this is a feature that has been wished ages ago:

Code: Select all

v6.80.0077 - 2008-02-15 12:59
    * Tab icons: Now, when a tab is locked to a home zone AND is 
      renamed then its icon will always be the one of the tab's home 
      folder. This new behavior is very practical when you use iconized 
      tabs because once you have defined a special icon for the home 
      folder you always recognize that tab by its icon no matter at what 
      subfolder it is currently pointing to.

Actually I would prefer to be able to set a custom icon to a tab, but that wish should,maybe go to another thread.

Hey, just saw that the "AND is renamed" condition got lost at some point in the last years. Fixed in next version.
