CEA"Before browsing a folder": tab("get", "ID") does not return expected value

[Nolan]

XY: v26.70.0307

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open 2 tabs named A and B.
2) In A, run echo tab("get", "ID"); in Address Bar to get A's ID, then close the popup.
3) In B, run echo tab("get", "ID"); in Address Bar to get B's ID, then close the popup.
4) Make A the current tab.
5) Under Cfg > General > CEA > Changing Locations > Before browsing a folder, set Action as "Run Script":
echo tab("get", "ID");
6) Left-click B tab, then the popup shows B's ID, not expected A's.

By the way, if A has Visual Filter "a", B has Visual Filter "b", assigning the code below as the Action script of "Before browsing a folder" :

Code: Select all

echo get("VisualFilter") . "|" . tab("get", "filter");

and then making a switching from A to B, will popup this text content: "a|b". Shouldn't get("VisualFilter") and tab("get", "filter") return the same value?

Everything works as it should. It's "Before browsing a folder", not "Before switching tabs".

I also mentioned get("VisualFilter") returns A's stuff, while tab("get", "filter"), like tab("get", "ID"), returns B's stuff.
Why get("VisualFilter") and tab("get", "filter") work in non-unified/different "current" tabs, when "Before browsing a folder"?

[admin]

get("VisualFilter") return the list filter, and tab("get", "filter") returns the tab filter. In that moment the tab is already new, but the list still old.

OK. Thanks for the explain. So how to get A's (old/previous tab's) ID when "Before browsing a folder"?
I can use get("VisualFilter") to get A's (old/previous tab's) VFilter when "Before browsing a folder", but how to get A's (old/previous tab's) ID? Is there any way?

[admin]

Not really.

What are you trying to do?

[Nolan]

Not really? You mean it is impossible currently? So this should be a wish for new feature? I want to get old/previous tab's ID when "Before browsing a folder" for more automatic/perfect tabs operation.

[admin]

It's possible, but in a more complicated way.

"more automatic/perfect tabs operation" is too abstract to create helpful ideas from others.
