Open multiple selected folders in background tabs?

[PlorerXY6]

Have been trying a few ways to open all my selected folders in background tabs (2 or more selected), drag and drop onto tab bar, ctrl/shift click on "Open in Background" context menu option, but only the first folder selected works. Is there a way to do this at present? Thanks!

Code: Select all

foreach($item, "<get sip>", "<crlf>") {
	if(exists($item) == "2") {tab("newb", $item)}
	 wait 1;
}

foreach($item, "<get sip>", "<crlf>") {
	if(exists($item) == "2") {tab("newb", $item)}
	 wait 1;
}

Thanks, I assigned as a User button on my toolbar!
I had thought maybe putting XYPlorer.exe in the Open With button would work too built in but maybe not as you can't seem to modify folder associations.

Thanks for this script, I like it! One question though. Not sure why this is happening, but if I have a Live Filter active when this script runs, it is removed. Any idea why this happens? A Quick Filter stays active, but Live Filter is removed.

That looks like a bug, it has nothing to do with the script, if you are interested though, below is a quick modified version of it that should mitigate the issue until it is fixed.

Code: Select all

  $lf = <get livefilter>;
  foreach($item, <selitems |>) { if (exists($item) == 2) { tab("newb", $item); } wait; }
  filter $lf, 8;

@Don: Opening a new background tab on a live filtered tab removes the LF.

That works, thanks!

Just bumping this, not sure if you missed it or just haven't seen it yet, and a repro if req.

filter "*.", 8; msg "Notice filter will disappear when BG tab opens"; tab("newb");

Opening a BG tab by any of the UI cmds also causes it.

Oh, thanks, indeed I hadn't seen this. Fixed in next beta.
