I want to write a script to open the selected items in new background tabs. I want to use this script in custom event actions.

Here is my goal:
Several items are selected. Selected items could be files or folders.
The script should check all selected items and do the following job:
- If the selected item is a "File" → The folder containing the selected file should open in a new background tab.
- If the selected item is a "Folder" → The selected folder should open in a new background tab.

My attempt failed at the very beginning step. I have selected 5 folders and I use the "tab" command as follows:
It only opens the first selected folder in the background and other items are ignored. Even the first opened background tab does not work correctly and shows the content correctly after a refresh.

Adding separators does not resolve the issue. Any comments of how to solve the problem?

Code: Select all

    $ItemsAddress = get("SelectedItemsPathNames");
    foreach($entry, $ItemsAddress, <crlf>, "e") {
        if (exists($entry) == 2) { tab("newb", $entry); }
        else { tab("newb", getpathcomponent($entry), "path"); }
    }

Excellent. Both jobs are done in a simpler way!

Hi,
This script was working quite fine so far.
Recently I noticed an error message pops up indicating Tab name not found for the following line:
tab("newb", getpathcomponent($entry), "path");

I am running XYplorer: 25.50.0000.

Any ideas?

Thanks. It works again!
