Switching Windows

[wynford]

Everytime I open MC, the right window is highlighted, my D drive, how can I make it so that the left window is highlighted, my C drive?

You can save a Tab Session, and when reopened, the same panel will be highlighted as it was when saved.

Hmmm didn't work for me... no problem though, I can live with it.

You can create a custom command which activates the left panel, and then launch MC with the command line parameter -AutoRun=[your custom command]

Try the following.

1. Configure Right panel as you wish with default ("starting") tab selected
2. Configure Left panel as you wish with default ("starting") tab selected
3. Menu -> File -> Tab and choose "Save tabs to file..."
4. In the dialog that opens choose "Save All Tabs" and click "Save"
5. Create a new MultiScript UDC as below - bind it to a hotkey and/or add to a menu if you wish

Code Select Expand


// Reload Default Tab Layout

@var $xTabFile = "${mcconfigpath}" + "\\MultiCommander Tab Config.mctab";
MC.CloseAllTabs DONOTASK;
MC.LoadTabs REPLACE FILENAME={$xTabFile};
MC.SetActiveTab PANEL=RIGHT TAB=1;
MC.SetActiveTab PANEL=LEFT TAB=1;
