Locked tab with directory changes to remember last folder

Post by *I-Vladimir »

Hi,
Is there any way to adjust locked tab with folder changes allowed to remember last selected folder activating the tab?
An example:
Left locked Dir1->Dir2
Right Dir3

I change left to Dir2
Activate Dir3 at the right to copy files
Select locked tab Dir1 and it always goes to Dir1 instead of Dir2 previously selected. If I need Dir1 I always can double click or just click another time to activate the actual locked folder.

Thanks

If I understand your goal correctly, currently this is not possible, at least with native TC settings.
There is a suggestion to remember changed path for "Locked, but directory changes allowed" tab, you can support it here:

That doesn't happen for me - are you perhaps leaving out a step?

I added a vote. If drag&drop is an issue - it can be deactivated for tabs with directory changed.

Maybe I read this wrong - but I read it as you in the left side have an active Tab which is "Locked, but directory changes allowed" called Dir1. You then go to a subdir called Dir2 in that tab. And you then open Dir3 in the right side. For me that doesn't make the directory in the left side go back to Dir1.

Or are you talking about two different Tabs marked Dir1 and Dir2? - then it makes sence if you have canged directory in the Dir1 tab befor opening the Dir2 tab.

So it is a matter of what you mean by: "Left locked Dir1->Dir2"

Sorry for confusion, but my example I tried to show a locked directory Dir1 with sub-directory Dir2, then when I change Dir1 to Dir2 (same tab) and switch to another tab and then go back to Dir1 tab, directory Dir1 gets displayed

OK - currently no way around that, as also mentioned DrShark.
