On startup TC always shows the first tabs (the most left ones).

If you have more tabs than fit on your screen (and you have configured to not display them in multiple rows),
then the active tab may be out of the screen and you are unable to see what is before or behind it.
So you need to manual switch back and forth to see the selected tab.

Suggestion:
On startup auto-scroll to the selected/saved tab, if it is not viewed normally
(scroll right until the tab is on the right side of the tab-list).

Workaround for the meantime, using VanDusen's TCStartWithCommand (AutoIT):

Download TCStartWithCommand 2.0 (discussion + download links in a german thread).
Copy TcStartWithCommand.exe to your TC directory (where TOTALCMD.EXE is).
Create a button or start menu entry or user defined command:

Code: Select all

Command   : %COMSPEC%
Parameters: /c TCStartWithCommand.au3 /O /X=cm_FocusRight /X=cm_SwitchToNextTab /X=cm_SwitchToPreviousTab /X=cm_FocusLeft /X=cm_SwitchToNextTab /X=cm_SwitchToPreviousTab
Start Path: %COMMANDER_PATH%

Info: A bugfix-update to version 2.02 of TCStartWithCommand is available,
the download link can be found in the original thread.

Nevertheless, the wish is still up-to-date:
it would be nice to have this behavior on starting up in TC's options.

This is indeed on my to do list. It's really strange that the Windows tab control doesn't scroll the active tab into view automatically...
