I think such thing could be quite useful.What do you think about a possibility to link two opened tabs in opposite panels together, so when you click on any of the linked tabs, its 'brother'-tab is activated in the opposite panel?
In the directory hotlist exists a comparable feature, but this is feasible for certain 'static' folders only, with my suggestion, this feature could be used easily and dynamically on demand with any folder.
I can imagine it functioning this way:
If you right click on any tab, the menu shows a submenu like 'link tab with... >' that shows all currently opened tabs of the _opposite_ panel.
After a tab is chosen, whenever one of the two linked Tabs is activated, it's 'brother' in the opposite panel is opened too. This link could be indicated by a little index-nr. in the tab title, allowing you to define multiple pairs of tabs. If technically possible, colored indexes could make it easy to recognize which tabs are linked to each other.
If a linked tab is closed, the link is disconnected, perhaps after a dialog: 'The current Tab is linked. Do you want to close it anyway and break the link?'.
Well, your suggestion is certainly better. I had suggested a simpler version hoping it had better chances to be included in TC7 but...StickyNomad wrote:Quite a while ago, I already suggested something like that in the beta forum, but with a slightly different approach, namely creating pairs of tabs dynamically
Anyway, i find such a feature not only "quite useful" as you said but essential. Let's hope Christian has in mind to add it in the near future.I hope so too. And if my suggestion should be too sophisticated, I also will be happy with a more 'simplified' implementation.Let's hope Christian has in mind to add it in the near future.
