Re-use tab from the other pane

[Huidong]

Dear Don:
I tried

Code: Select all

goto "%recycler%", 1;

from say pane 1, noticed that XY apparently can't use the already-open recycler tab on pane 2. It seems that tab re-use works only on the same pane. Possible to improve this?
Thanks

Personally I wouldn't like if pane was changed without my exact command. I would never know where I was exactly, so I always would have to check pane number.

This inter-pane behaviour should already be possible with an assignment of a Home Zone to Recycler and enabling TabBinding tweak. I remember this because it's the functionality I wished for here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6088

Would you please describe what to do? I did the TabBinding tweak, and on the locked recycler tab, I clicked "Set Home", and "Lock Home Zone", but the inter-pane feature I didn't see. Thanks.

You're right. When I try to go to locations via an environment variable, the functionality does not work. Perhaps it was not meant to or it is a bug. Over to Don...

Will work better next version.

; Tweak: autoselect first tab with a matching locked homezone when current tab is locked

So if the current tab is not locked, can this tweak lead to switching to the recycler tab on the other pane?

No, only when the current tab is locked.

But it does not. Here are the steps I take to reproduce (TabBinding tweak already enabled):

1. Pane 1, open a new tab, go to %recycler% in it.
2. Pane 1, %recycler% tab, right-click and Set Home, right-click and Lock Home Zone.
3. Pane 2, open a new tab, paste %recycler% into AB and hit Enter. Alternatively, just be in another tab in Pane 2 and click on RB in the tree.

The expected behaviour would be for the view to change to that tab in Pane 1. Alas, target location is opened in existing tab with no switching taking place.

TabBinding only works when you are on a locked tab.

TabBinding only works when you are on a locked tab.

So the location has to be locked as well? That doesn't sound right to me as then what's the point of locking the home zone if one cannot browse freely within it in a designated tab
