when drop item to this button goto "vi:<drop>" and refresh list, the list become empty.
the paper folder with explicit save only keeps dropped items after Refresh
so why is the difference between them

button goto "vi:<drop>"; ... interesting usage! :tup: But of course it does not survive a refresh. It's logical, isn't it?

I asked because of the similarity between them. the Help says: "Think of Virtual Folders as Paper Folders without the paper." hence came the question.

anyway, to always open <drop> in a dedicated tab

Code: Select all

	end !"<drop>";
	if not regexmatches(get("tabs", "<crlf>"), "^vi:\<drop\>$") {tab("new", "vi:<drop>")}
	goto "vi:<drop>", 1;#250

"without the paper" also means "without the memory" :)
