Navigating Locked Location Opens New Tab

[TestMeister]

v8.60

After locking a tab location, if I navigate to another folder, a new tab opens for that folder. Is there a config setting that would keep a new tab from opening?

Thanks

You have 2 options:
a) Hold Ctrl + Alt to browse to another location.
b) Navigate to another location and the lock the tab.

This was true in pre-Dual Pane versions. In the current version Ctrl + Alt + Click opens the folder in the inactive pane.

After thinking on this a bit more, if a tab is locked you really have only 2 logical options:
1) don't allow the user to nav off the locked folder or (2) when the user moves to a different folder, position the user in another tab.

So the current behavior makes perfect sense. However, I found a solution that provides the behavior I'm looking for.
Under option (2) instead of opening a new folder, if you have a "Default Tab" set, it will position the user in this tab at the selected new folder. You can then use the "Set Home" option for this tab to always return to a selected folder. You can enhance this further by setting the "On Double Click" option to "Go Home" so just by double clicking the tab icon you can return to the default tab's home folder.

Pretty cool stuff!
