No, there isn't.



If you would tell for what you have the need for four panels, there may be some hints for you to improve your workflow.
(or search this forum for already given advices on that very issue)

Have you got any problems with tabs in panels?

[johnsluts]

Thanks for all the replies
No I don't have any problems with the tabs panels, I would like to have 4 panels because, it will be much easier to navigate if I have 4 panels instead of 2 panels which , but as I said so far I open this program twice to have 4 panels overview.

All TC commands works on that two-panel basic, so two panels (plus directory tree(s)) are the default.
But there are tips to work with TC and more than two directories at the same time.

If you need four panels just for a better view but without the TC features,
you can use f.ex. http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Freeware/Q-Dir/Screenshot-0
(Q-Dir: One application with many panels to work like with many WinExplorer windows)

Okay thanks for your tips I will take a look.

I think the most complex issue to solve if having more panels would be how to tell which is the target panel for commands (like copy, move etc.), unless the extra panels would be just for listing, not for operations... and how to make such usability intuitive for users.

And there are were some ideas with detailed concepts...

Yes if we can get something like this up: https://i.imgur.com/xhsWKyp.png and room to add more drives in to work on / with, that'd be an instant purchase from me!

Hi,

I would like to reactivate this topic.
When I work with high display resolution, seems that there is a place for 4 panels instead of 2.
Did you consider to add new "row" of two panels?

Hi and welcome.

As you can read, 4 panels didn't make much sense for TC, as all commands and features are developed to work with 2 panels.
Try to utilize tabs for quick folder change and also Directory Hotlist and History (see Help > User interface).

If you need 4 panels for drag&drop operations, take a look at Q-Dir: One application with many panels to work like with many WinExplorer windows.
