Tab Sessions - Just Awesome!
« on: July 15, 2017, 07:27:11 »
Just a quick but massive thanks for the new Tab Sessions feature. What an absolute ripper! (Aussie for really, really good)
This new tools is going to save me so much time.

Thanks so much for dedication and hard work on this project Mathias.

Question and possible feature request:
Is there a way to now set up custom/shortcut buttons for tab sessions, so that rather than going through File>Tab Sessions> choose a session, I could click on the session button in my toolbar and - bazinga - session opens up?

Found it!

In case someone wants to know how:

Setting up:
Create a tab session and Save As (eg. Image Folders)
Configuration > User Defined Commands > New
Now give it a name and description (eg. "Tab Session - Image Folders")
Command Type = Internal Commands
Module = Multicommander (Base)
Command = Session #2: Image Folders (your tab session has an entry in the list and most likely found down the bottom of the list)
Save

Now to make the button:
Have the Quick Launch Bar visible (View > Toolbars > Quick Launch Bar)
Right click in Quick Launch Bar > Insert User Defined Command > Choose the command you created earlier from the list (eg. "Tab Session - Image Folders") > OK

Bazinga! How good is that!!

Mathias - you are brilliant.

You can also create a UserDefinedCommand of CustomCommand type and do

Code: [Select]
MC.ChangeTabSession ID=46214bda3c8d4da093194ffa5c9578a6 (the unique SessionID that is shown in the TabSession manager)

or
Code: [Select]
MC.ChangeTabSession ID=Images(The name of the tabsession)

Just passing to say that Mathias is indeed brilliant! MC is the best file manager. So many unique and useful features! I love customizations and love to script!
