Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

The other plus about this shell extension solution is that I can stay with my setting which does NOT produce a tab if there's only one folder open in a panel. In other words the default state is to NOT have the tab bar present and visible and taking up an additional row on the screen, but only to ha...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

You're right, the command "new folder tab" with the icon doesn't show the icon when it is added to the toolbar. This is a known bug , icon is not shown in that dialog (it's for any option), but it should appear on toolbar, as I said, try this: just double click "New folder tab" ...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

I don't understand that toolbar button issue, Ok. My bad. The font is so small at my screen resolution of 2560x1440 and I'm so tired that I've been pushing the wrong button to add the command. My eyes and brain processed the "green arrow pointing left" as the button to be pushed. But of c...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

There are more "New folder tab" items in the list, one of them has the icon, at least in the latest public beta - 830. I had used "open" in the filter box as instructed. This other "new folder tab" did not show up. I've now found it using "tab" in the filter ...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

Thank you for clarifying this. I've only customized the Standard Bar to have my own collection of useful buttons, and didn't really ever seek out anything more than that. But I probably didn't pursue it much once I saw that these buttons are placed on the right-end of the bar (and since I am top/bot...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

as a workaround I would suggest (and I think it's a good workaround): put "Open focused folder as a new tab in the same panel" in the address toolbar - even saves you a click! I don't understand what you're saying. Is this your own suggestion for a similar new feature? Or are you pointing...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

More workarounds, all 1-click: - toolbar new tab button - address bar new tab button 1. Both require very large mouse movements to get to, after possibly also having first clicked on an address bar to give focus to one panel or the other. 2. Unless I'm doing something wrong, there is no icon which ...

Re: Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

I don't have any tabs showing. The address bar at the moment is just a single folder. Note that with my settings I do not always have at least one tab showing. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/9268/xGP5cg.jpg That is the situation where right-click on the "empty address bar" does not...

Feature request: right-click menu on Address Bar offers "new folder tab"

There are several different ways to create a new folder tab on the Address Bar of a panel with focus. One way, CTRL+T, requires two hands (so if one hand is on the mouse it must be removed in order to type CTRL+T). Or, you can do a lot of mouse movement using the Menu bar, View -> New folder tab. Et...

Re: SSH SFTP problems

Good morning, I have problems to get SSH working, since provider strato has changed from FTP to SSH recently. I haven't used FCXE for FTP. But in passing, I recommend WINSCP . I use it to connect to a family FTP site which uses SSH. Works perfectly, and is intuitive and capable. Allows file transfe...

Re: 827: over/under split screen, program always opens with bottom panel focus

Just out of curiosity, I did a full uninstall and deletion of all previous settings, and then installed 828 from scratch. I was curious to see if the new spread-out MENU bar item placement was somehow tied to upgrading my previous FCXE setup, and if it would be eliminated if I started over with a br...

Re: 827: over/under split screen, program always opens with bottom panel focus

This particular issue seems to have been cleared up with 828. Whichever panel has the focus at program-close, now seems to get it back correctly when program is re-launched. I do, however, observe one new cosmetic issue with 828 (or at least a difference from previous versions): the horizontal space...

827: over/under split screen, program always opens with bottom panel focus

I have split screen over/under set, with Explorer Tree pane in both top and bottom panels. Program is closed with top panel having the focus. Re-launching the program should still have the top panel with focus. However when the 827 program is re-launched it is now the bottom panel which always has t...

Re: Action bar too narrow

I have just installed Freecommander Xe 2020 build 825 donor. The action be is very narrow and the icons, let alone the captions, do not show properly, even with small icons. I could not find any setting option to enlarge the toolbar, and cannot drag its borders. Any help? (I could not paste an imag...
