Lock Tab Feature - ability to reset

[bison]

Hi,

I love the Lock Tab - Allow subpath change feature. Is there a way to set a button (ideally linked to a Fn key) that I could press to reset the tab back to the locked path if I have been browsing sub paths?

Thanks.

"Lock Tab" would be easier since that is a command you can find and assign hotkey to

"Lock Tab - Allow subpath change" Is harder since this is an extra command that the Explorer Panel adds to tab when it is shown.
There is no way of toggling it on/off but you can have two commands one that enables only Lock, and one that enables Lock + Allow Subpath Change

To do that, Create two user defined command of CustomCommand type. and then assign hotkeys to them.

For Lock you do

Code Select Expand

MC.Explorer.SetTabProp TABLOCK

For Lock and Allow Subpath change you do

Code Select Expand

MC.Explorer.SetTabProp TABLOCK TABLOCKALLOWSUBCHANGE

Thanks Mathias

Sorry I wasn't very clear - let me explain it better.

Say I have a tab open at C:\Folder A and have enabled Lock Tab - Allow subpath change on that tab.

I then browse to C:\Folder A\Folder B\Folder C - I would like a button on the button bar that I could press to switch the view back to C:\Folder A (the folder where the lock is set).

Is that possible? Crash+Burn mentioned it here - he calls at Goto Root function which probably better describes it.

Hm I don't think that is possible.

Might be possible to add a custom command for it. not sure.. Will check if I get some time

Ok thanks!

Let me know if I should post this in the Feature Request and Suggestions folder...

In the latest beta build (Build 1999) the 'go to root' command (button or shortcut (ctrl+backspace)) will now take you to the root of the locked path.

Thanks Mathias!!

I'm a bit of newbie when it comes to creating buttons. How do I create one using the new 'go to root' command?

[Mathias (Author)]

There is no new command. Behavior of the existing command is changed.

If you want to remap it to a own key use Keyboard customization.
If you want to create a user defined command then create a command of type internal and select the command "go to the root" in the module "Explorer panel"
