Close All Tabs, one click, both panels including locked ones

[Spiderkeys]

I'm wondering which would be the best way to be able to close all tabs with one click such as a custom button, which will close both panels including locked ones and without any confirmations.

I know there is already a build in command of "Close All Tabs", but it only does the selected panel.

I thought of a batch file to modify ini files, and then a restart but I think surely there's a easier way.

you can use OPENTABS to open a saved tab file

Code: Select all

cmd=OPENTABS "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tabs\closeall.tab"

my closeall.tab

Code: Select all

[activetabs]
0_path=C:\
0_options=1|0|0|0|0|0|0
activetab=0
[inactivetabs]
0_path=C:\
0_options=1|0|0|0|0|0|0
activetab=0

Ahh! I Didn't think, just make a new button up with OPENTABS, set up two single common visited folders in both panels, and saved it as a tab.

That is so much better than the CLOSEALLTABS command, fixed in less than a minute!

EDIT: I've been spending weeks with batch files and autohotkey scripts opening up multiple tabs for whatever project im undertaking

which repeated lines of TOTALCMD64.EXE /O /T /R=(DIRECTORY)'s

Obviously bad scripting, I wonder if you can just open a saved .tab file from a single entry in a batch or from the command prompt.

May I suggest to change the closeall.tab file to:

Code: Select all

[activetabs]
0_path=.
0_options=1|0|0|0|0|0|0
activetab=0
[inactivetabs]
0_path=.
0_options=1|0|0|0|0|0|0
activetab=0

Then the currently displayed folders will also be the ones that are displayed after the tabs are closed.
