Open tab always in first pane

Hello,
is it possible to open a new tab always in the first pane?
Currently it opens in first pane when started.
If XYplorer is already running it opens in the active/focused pane.
Thanks

What exactly are you doing to invoke the new tab?

It is invoked from outside like clicking on a folder on the desktop.

This would be a two step process...
Save this code as a .reg file:
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Shell\XYplorer\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\XYplorer\\XYplorer.exe\" /feed=|::perm $P_FLD=\"%1\"; load \"C:\\Users\\this_is_my_username\\AppData\\Roaming\\XYplorer\\Scripts\\Open tab in pane1.xys\";|"
Afterwards edit the .reg file and replace the XY installation and or script folder (if necessary) and the username "this_is_my_username" with your own.
Right click the .reg file and from the context menu select "Merge".
Afterwards create the file
C:\Users\this_is_my_username\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Scripts\Open tab in pane1.xys
and give it this content:
Code: Select all
perm $P_FLD;
focus "P1";
tab("new", $P_FLD);
Save it and from then on it should work...

Save this code as a .reg file:
If a folder has an apostrophe in its name, I get this error:
Code: Select all
File: (Internal)
Script: (Untitled)
perm $P_FLD='C:\70's'; load OpenTabInPane1;
Overflow
0 \ 0
Any workaround possible?

Wild guess
Code: Select all
... /feed=\"::perm $P_FLD=\"%1\"; ...

That breaks the script completely (nothing happens).
