Prevent duplicate folder-tabs

Post by *ecco64 »

Hello.

The folder-tabs of TC are really helpful feature, which I am using excessively. If there are 20+ tabs opened, it happens rather often, that you browse to a directory which is already opened in another tab. Over the time more and more duplicate tabs accumulate which is a real mess.

Suggestions:

V1: All duplicate tabs should be prevented - instead the other corresponding tab instance should be activated automatically.

V2: Only the currently active tab may be a duplicate (to prevent unexpected behaviour). As soon as another tab is selected, all tabs are checked and duplicates are removed.

Regards,
Tom

Hello!

You can close duplicate tabs by right click on any tab and choose "Close duplicate tabs" command

Hi.

Yes, thanks for your reply. The feature you mention is helpful but an automatism would be even better.

I think simple script may solve such task - script will check if a tab already exists in inactive tabs and activate it.
