Wouldn't it be more descriptive to store the content of the find location box instead?

Well, it does show the content of the find location box in the tooltip.

The message would suffice, because I would like to keep the settings of the tab for the next time I'm in the same configuration.

Yep, I'll have a look at that.

RalphM wrote:Well, I still don't get that result.

RalphM wrote:The new message you added works if you answer no, but with yes it switches only to the parent directory of the folder that couldn't be found - which apparently can be missing as well, especially if the whole drive is missing, which is what happens, if you work in different networks.

admin wrote:It should walk up the parent tree until it finds an existing location. If the whole drive isn't there, it will go to the desktop. Doesn't it?

RalphM wrote:I agree, that the tooltip of the tab shows the find location, but if I set a home tab and move around a bit in there, shouldn't the tooltip of the little house show me were I get by clicking on it as well?

RalphM wrote:Yes I can confirm that startup takes a while when TV3 is looking for shared drives, that are not available, but it didn't annoy me so far.

Ralph, please explain this again. Since I have no network here, I have to understand exactly what can happen in such an environment. And: what do you think should happen if you do select a tab pointing to a network resource that is not available.

Yep, I know.
I just like the idea better of "Not being able to change settings I intended to fix when I named the tab" - as I stated already in earlier posts.

admin wrote:Yeah, but "naming = fixing" has been just an idea, it never became reality. Let's say I have a tab called "Web Design", and I have many web design projects. When I go back to that tab, I want to see it how I left it: the recent web design project I was working on, and not the web design project I was working on when I named the tab.

RalphM wrote:I just checked the no-icon feature with beta 4.00.0025 with a total of 4 tabs as follows:
1) subdir of an unavailable share in browse mode
2) subdir of an unavailable share in find mode
3) subdir of an unavailable share in find mode
4) subdir of drive c:

1) didn't have an icon - ok
I got a message for 2) telling me it's not available - ok, I guess
No message for 3) - ko
And if I select 4) TV3 crashes with an error code 91 - ooooooooooooops.

admin wrote:Uhm, 2) and 3) are the same???
4) I cannot reproduce. How exactly did you do it, I'm very interested
