Directory Hotlist jumps to existing tab if it exists

[jw]

Hi!

Does anyone know if this feature exists in Total Commander:

I have a lot of open tabs, and when I choose a directory from the Directory Hotlist, it changes to an existing tab for that directory if it exists, otherwise it changes the directory in the current tab.

If this feature doesn't exist, I will suggest it to Mr. Ghisler, since this would, in my opinion, reduce the number of duplicate tabs.

Thanks in advance for any info.

All the best,

Jonnie

AFAIK there is no such feature yet...

When I see too many tabs, I give command "Close duplicate tabs". Usually several tabs are closed

Ok - that tip with the 'close duplicate tabs' is great. I'll be using that. The idea might still avoid clutter in the first place.

I think you can create some usercommand that will switch dir and then close duplicate tabs, and then use this command it in directory hotlist instead of standard cd command.

E.g. you can create following em_CdUnique command (using my TCFS2 tool):

Code: Select all

Command: TCSF2.exe
Parameters: /ef "eval(tcd(`%A`,,S)+msg($433,3009,,1)+send(`{UP}{ENTER}`))"

And then just type em_CdUnique instead of cd in hotlist, e.g.:

Code: Select all

em_CdUnique %TEMP%

Hi MVV,

Thanks for the post and the suggestion. Off the bat, I didn't get it to work (File not found error), but I'll give it a go when I can find the time and get back to with the results.

All the best,

Well, you need to get TCFS2 tool and write full path to it in a command.
