Title: New user with questions
Post by: 2wheelrider on March 16, 2026, 15:37:07

Hi All.  I saw Multi Commander mentioned in another forum and am impressed so far.  I am working on trying to configure it to startup ready for my use and have these questions:

1.  Is there any advantages to starting it with a Tab Session vs. using command line parameters to specify the path for the L and R panels (I won't use tabs in panels)?
2.  When I start Multi Commander using command line parameters, how can I get it to start with the folder tree showing in each pane.
3.  On startup, is there a way to make a specific Explorer Panel always have focus?
4.  I will want to frequently synch panels.  Is there a mouse-click option for any of the panel synch keyboard combinations?  I stack my panels (vertical) so the Ctrl+period (go to same path as target) will likely be the one I would use most (the Ctrl+> and Ctrl+< are not intuitive to me with vertical panels).

TIA!

1.

Code: [Select]

Start "Arbeitsplattform" /min "C:\Program Files\MultiCommander\MultiCommander.exe" -TABSESSION="Arbeitsplattform" -T="1 Arbeitsplattform"2. This is configurable via the settings, not via the command line.
3. I guess when you save a tab session, the focus will also be saved.
