Source and Target swapped when loading tabs

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Source and Target swapped when loading tabs

Post by *Heini »

[TC x64 9.0a, Win 7]

It sometimes happens that when loading a tab arrangement from file by
Load tabs from file, replace both tabs
source and target of all tabs are swapped, compared to the arrangement I saved by
Save tabs on both sides to file.

One reason seems to be that the tabs in active window/side during saving are loaded into the active window at loading, regardless on which side it is.

For me, it would be more logical if the side of the contents would stay the same.

However, since sides can easily be swapped using Ctrl+Shift+u, this is only a minor issue.

The tabs are stored in the tab file under [activetabs] and [inactivetabs]. So when loading them, the [activetabs] section will be loaded into the active panel, and the [inactivetabs] section into the other panel.
