Use of "Always show drive letter in tab title"

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

Use of "Always show drive letter in tab title"

Post by *petermad »

If I for Folder tabs enable "Always show drive letter in tab title", then it is also applied to Network Neighborhood and Shared directories on the Network where TC shows \: in stead of the drive letter plus colon (TabSeparator=:).

I think TC should rather not show anything for the drive letter on the Network or it should show \\ in stead of \: in the Folder Tab title.

Sorry, this is intentional and will not be changed. "\" is what is shown for the nethood in the drive dropdown list too.

And that is OK - it is the "\:" that bothers me - is there any chance of removing the colon for Network?

Currently it's not possible - the "drive letter" is exactly 1 character, and the separator can be set by the user. You can set it yourself to a space or so, but this would be for drives too.

Exactly - And I like the colon with the drive letters.

It is no big deal it just looks peculiar (\:Network) :-)

Sorry, the separator is defined by the user, I don't want to change it just for some paths - then people want it also for plugins, then for virtual folders, then for network drives - this could go on forever.
