Panel may switched back after switching

Post by *MVV »

I often do the following: activate right panel, change path via favorites, activate left panel using arrow icons and again change path via favorites to e.g. copy photos from WhatsApp to gallery. And sometimes when I change left panel path right one is changed instead. I think I understood why this happens: if I open a large folder and then quickly switch panel, TC switches it before loadings its contents but switches back when the contents is actually loaded.

Please fix this, TC shouldn't switch panel w/o user request, it is unexpected and confusing.

Maybe you have stored the target path too in that favorite? It's a field named "Target dir:" in the properties of the favorite (long tap - Change).

No, target dir is not stored in this favorite entry. And the situation is constantly repeating. I know about this weird behaviour and wait a second before switching to left panel after switching to this large album as a workaround, but this is not what a user should be aware of or bother of.
