How to make XY open a new tab by default?

Well, I do understand how it works; it's just that, obviously, these are two concurring settings and it is not quite clear which one is preferred by XY on the first glance.

The trick in this case seems to be to take the option names literally; obviously XYplorer has some interacting options which in my case, are best tackled after a good night's sleep.

So much about its "user-friendly interface", right? "Imagine what this option could do!"
I see some room for improvements here (constructive critics are best critics).
