Questions about Catalog

Hi
1) Is it possible somewhere in settings to make Catalog Tree automagically collapsed if another category is selected? I mean only one category is always opened.
2) What command to use if I want always create new tab if clicking on category item that I have created to connect to another PC? Now I have only "//Other_PC" set as location and action is "Go to location". I know I could hold down Shift-key when clicking, but I forget it sometimes and it opens in current tab. I want to add this "shift"-command already to script.

Now it works. Thanks. But one more question because of this new command. With previous command it had little PC icon (as default network computer icon in windows) but now it has blue arrow pointing right. Why and can I have this default PC icon back somehow?

That's the script icon. I would have to add a new On-click action type ("go to in new tab") to keep the path icon.

Or maybe just an "Icon:" property for such UDCs ?

UDCs? You mean Catalog items.
Yes, I could add an Icon field.

Damn I'd like this. And I like this, talking directly with developer and who's actually reading and hearing users requests and even does these also. (y)

But: Don't know when I find the time to do this.
Tip: You can open a location in a new foreground tab by clicking it with the middle button. Or hold Shift while left-clicking it.

Hey, this was a usage question, not a wish. Read the question again...

That's a good part of the reason why so many of us LOVE this product (and Don as well!) because it's the interaction that helps make the product more usable to/for us...not like some skinny Steve guy in CA whose attitude is: this is the way I want it and you'll be happy with it...
