Minor bug in folder groups

[tsahil]

When using several folder groups and switching between them, if I switch from a folder group with more tabs than the folder group I am switching to, the extra tabs are left open and are not closed.

[nikos]

this is sort of by design
if you want the previous tabs closed use window | close all tabs first

[tsahil]

What is the reason for this kind of a design?
Moving between folder groups easily for me means not going through the process of closing all windows - this will add more button clicks in the process.
If I can understand the reason for this design, I might be able to use it when it fits my needs...

[nikos]

there's no grand design
it is just that tabs "cost" to create and so they remain open in case you'll need them later for a larger group

BTW...just a bit off topic, but wanted Nikos to know that I use the Tab feature ALL THE TIME...so thanks for putting that in.

I tend to use xplorer2 with a single pane and multiple tabs most of the time...switching to dual pane for the few times I'm moving a file from one place to another. But most of the time as I'm working I just need access to files in 3-5 different folders and this makes it very convenient.

I use the Tree Pane very seldom, but very much like that it's so accessible via hotkey and that it's so responsive.

Just an FYI so you know your past efforts are still acknowledged and appreciated.

The Tab (groups) is a very nice addition in Xplorer2. But working with the tabs could have some improvement.

I use Maxthon browser (uses IE) and maybe Nikos could try that program and see how it handles tabs.
In Maxthon's options you can choose if you want to close existing tabs when opening a tab group. That would be nice in X2 also.

Managing tab groups is a bit confusing in X2. How do I saving a simple change in an existing tab group?

you can't "edit" groups like you can't edit most of the other custom lists. You add your changes as a new group & delete the old
