Feature request: Loading a tab group as startup parameter

[luke]

Hi,

Tabs are so handy, I wish I could load a specific tab group with a parameter in a shortrcut to the x2 exefile.

i.e. C:\Program Files\xplorer2\xplorer2_UC.exe /Tab:DVD
i.e. C:\Program Files\xplorer2\xplorer2_UC.exe /Tab:MP3

so I can load a Tab set for the things I am going to do.

I know I can load them in X2 and I do so, but this would be even more nice.

Thanks, Luke

Although this can't be done as you describe it, it can be done indirectly.

Open up xplorer2 and set it up precisely in the way that you want it - then save the layout by using the menuBar -> Window -> Save Layout

I called my layout 'Normal'.  Then, when you want to launch xplorer2 using that layout (aka when you want xplorer to start with those tabs), send xplorer the command line parameter "/S:Normal".  My full cmdLine looks like this (treat it as one line)

Code: Select all

:%ProgramFiles%\zabkat\xplorer2\xplorer2_UC.exe /S:Normal /R:::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

This layout would then be what you called your 'tab set', and could be loaded using a windows shortcut (I use a global file shortcut, Ctrl + x, which executes the cmdLine above - VERY handy!).

i guess a "/Tab:DVD" command line option would make sense for the pro version

Sorry, I accidently posted my request(s) in the free forum, while I ment to post it in the Pro forum.

And thanks to Thracx for the workaround tip to manage this. But I hope Nikos can implement this in the Pro version sometime. Another reason to pay the few bucks for the Pro version.
