Idea: Bookmarking folder pairs

[Scoulder]

TC already has a great bookmark feature.
Since there are two windows side by side which serve the purpose to copy/move files from one window to the other I wonder if it would be a good idea having a way to bookmark folder pairs (setting different locations for the left and the right window and save that into one bookmark).

Like
bookmarkpair1: folder9 <--> folder 1
bookmarkpair2: folder3 <--> folder 74

I saw this kind of bookmarking in WinSCP (SFTP, SCP and FTP client for Windows) and found this to be very helpful.

You already can create a pair of folders at a single bookmark.
Just use "Add current dir" and check option "Also save the target dir".

e.g. for bookmarkpair1: folder9 <--> folder 1
This will use "cd folder9" at command entry and " folder 1" at Target path entry.

That would be great but where do I find "Add current dir"?
To bookmark a folder I tap the corresponded icon top right and choose "Add bookmark". The appearing dialog doesn't have an option to set a target directory.

sga has been taken too (as I sometimes) by not note in which sub forum we are here

He talked about the win32 TC app.

Indeed this is currently only supported by the Windows version. I will add it to my wish list.

2.05 public beta 5 ---> awesome! Thanks!

You can even get this to the Desktop (Android launcher) with a little trick:

1. Create a new bookmark inside of TC, and check the option to show it in the home folder.
2. Long tap on the bookmark in the home folder
3. Choose to create a link on the Desktop (Android launcher)
4. Now you can delete the internal bookmark if you want

Valuable tip, works perfectly, thanks.

One thing: I can't find a way to set which folder (the "bookmark location" or the "target dir") is displayed on the left and which one is displayed on the right. This seems to be randomly?

[ghisler(Author)]

It depends on which panel was active.

[Scoulder]

Can you elaborate on this?
When adding a new bookmark I always first have to switch to the home folder, otherwise I had the effect that I didn't add a bookmark but alter one I already had.

What exactly did you try? I tried to reproduce what you write, but I have no problems to add a new bookmark this way:
1. Go to a folder
2. Tap on the bookmarks icon
3. Tap on "Add bookmark"
4. Choose the details
5. Tapp on "Add new bookmark"

The problem occurs when you want to add a bookmark pair while there's already a single bookmark targeting one of the folders.
In this case the existing single bookmark is pre-selected and instead of adding the bookmark pair (like the button text says) the existing single bookmark is changed.

This can only be avoided by first selecting the home folder but this way I can't control which folder is assigned to the left and the right panels.

[ghisler(Author)]

Ah, I see what you mean. Have you tried to change the name of the bookmark before saving it?

[Scoulder]

Yes, same effect regarding the content (target) but then also the name of the (preselected former single) bookmark is changed.

[ghisler(Author)]

OK, I will check it.
