Locked TAB functionality.

(1/2) > >>

GrantSP:
Is it possible to lock a TAB from going UP the tree but still allow access to all the sub-folders under the currently selected location.

I have a folder that I access frequently and would like to get into the folders immediately below it but stay clear of those above it.

Mathias (Author):
Right click on the tab and you can lock the tab.
And there is also an option there called "Lock tab - Allow sub path change" 

Select that option. and you can browse into subpath. , but not to parent or other drives

GrantSP:
I think my initial post was worded badly.

Yes there is the option to Lock it and allow changing to Sub-paths but it doesn't actually lock the going up in the way I imagined.
While it is true that, that specific tab doesn't move up, the opening of a new tab instantaneously with the parent folder is a bit of a poor option, IMO.

Perhaps a dialog box stating that, opening a new tab or remaining in the current locked tab, as options would be better.
If I lock a tab it is because there is no need to move up that path to do anything useful inside MC. If I truly need to go there I can do so myself with a new tab or some other method.

Locking a tab and allowing the user to go there with no problem is like having a password protected folder that has you password always available and opens at any attempt. Defeats the purpose.

Yes, password protection and locked tabs are different but they serve to illustrate the point.

I second that GrandSP.

Settings if it should open new tab when going to new location of tab is locked is already added in the current beta
