faster access to all tabs via right click

Post by tiago »

Sometimes I must keep several folders opened at the same time and some of them are placed on different drives but have similar names, like "d:\revisar", "e:\revisar" and "h:\revisar". It's a constant that I can't keep them organized in the same position so each time I need to reach them to sort stuff I have to click many times on several tabs just to find the right one. A right click menu containing all opened tabs on both panes and allowing me quick access to them from it would solve this issue, that's my suggestion.

Enhancement: Full paths, minimum ellips'ing; perhaps the ability to name an alias for a given folder path so when it's found its alias is displayed instead of the full path, or aliases for given paths like "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Dados de aplicativos\" being replaced like DOS "subst" so any subfolder under that path is displayed like "AppData\Identities\" or "AppData\Mozilla\Extensions\".

Hi, maybe you wanna check out if this settings will help you:

Configuration > Tabs > [X] Always keep right end of tab bar empty" to get a popup with all tabs names in full from where you can select a tab.

Configuration | Tabs: "Tab captions"

I tried that solution prior to posting, Stefan, and found it inconvenient for two reasons:
1) It doesn't allow global access to all tabs, only the set of tabs respective either to pane 1 or 2.
2) Right click saves mouse-travelling on higher resolutions or bad touchpads.

"Tab captions" was my inspiration for the ellipsing system. 8)

Small problem that may be of Don's interest:
Fresh install of latest beta; opened app and closed it so .ini was created; set CEA_TreeRightClickOnWhite=4; opened app, enabled double click to open new tabs; set dual panes, horiz.; started opening tabs randomly; on the first attempt to see the new context menu, app crashed producing a message I decided to copy after a new test... but I am unable to reproduce it anymore, even from step 1.

Thanks, I think I got it and smashed it!
