XYplorer Beta Club

Hi,
this wish is a huge wish, maybe for a major update.
Since a long time, I would love to see this feature in many programs (file & internet browsers), but no-on thought about it.

The idea is to display in a first bar with "groupsTabs".
A second bar display many tabs associated with the current "groupTab". In XYplorer, it could look like it : If you need assets, here is the psd file : Thanks !

In case you're not using them already you should really look in detail at tabsets which do exactly what you want with the only difference being that they are not displayed in a second tab bar as in your mock-up.

Thanks for your answer Ralph,
I didn’t know tabset and it’s a good feature, but it’s not perfect (or maybe I miss something).

Switching from a tabset to an other is actually complicated because we always have to save the current one before changing:
tabest + save + tabset + open + wanted_tabset = 5 clicks
or
tabest + save + tabset_icon + wanted_tabset = 4 clicks

Saving tabset is not a bad idea, but having to save tabset each time we change it is really boring.
So tabset could have 2 save states : current state (autosave) and previous state (manual save/revert) allowing:
tabset + open + wanted_tabset = 3 clicks
or
tabset_icon + wanted_tabset = 2 clicks

And of course, using a second tab bar would be more ergonomic:
wanted_tabset = 1 click

Thanks !

If you weren't already aware there is an option to auto-save tabsets when switching

Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Auto-save tabsets on switch

you can also script changing between your tabsets with SC tabset() so it could be only 1 click to switch if you were so inclined, you can enter the following code into the XY addressbar for more information.

Thanks Jupe, this feature change my life ;D
