navigating away from a locked tab
« on: November 27, 2024, 10:03:04 »
Hi Mathias,

this is kind of a desparate wish. I like locked tabs. However, in MC, when I am in a locked tab, I cannot even navigate to a folder in a new tab.
I would like to use locked tabs as a jump off base to open folders (from the list or the address bar) quickly in new tabs by just clicking on them as I would normally.
Right now, it is quite frustrating to click on a folder in the list or on a parent folder in the address bar just for MC to do ... nothing. I wish it would instead open a new tab with that folder.

(BTW, I saw the option to "allow suppath change" but the main problem really is with parent folders. Besides, I prefer a locked tab be fully locked, so I don't have to think about where it went.)

regards, m.

Jungle, my new hero and world savior!
Yes, thank you!

Mathias, may I change the wish to getting a search / filter function for all the settings, some day in the future. :D That would be great. Some other file managers actually have that.

Its on the list, However it is not something that is fast to add. It actually very complex since MC settings is very generic and not hardcoded.

Just becuse some other have something does not make it easy to add it.  :)

I understand. This follow up request is also not the most important as long as there is Jungle.  ;)
Thank you for having it on your list, though.
