Can't save opened tabs

#1 Post by peter77 » 25.07.2012, 12:21

Hello,

I don't know if this is not a bug because i think i have the correct settings.

When i have multiple folder tabs opened and i close and start Freecommander XE it starts only with one tab opened - the last active tab in the panel. My settings are: "Auto save settings - on exit" and "Start with last used folders"

It saves other settings, only doesn't save the opened tabs.

I think what you need is
Settings > Folder Tabs > Tab Management tab,
check the box "Keep current tabs if open layout" and
uncheck the box "Close all not locked tabs when the program ends."

I have my settings as described above, and tabs reopen just as they were when I last closed the program (FC-XE 597 and earlier versions).

I would appreciate an explanation (from anyone) of the first of those two boxes, as I don't fully understand it. But it looks relevant for what you want.

CORRECTION:
I've just figured out that "Keep current tabs if open layout" means keep the current tabs if you open the Layout dialog. So it is not relevant for your goal -- the only setting needed is to uncheck the box "Close all not locked tabs when the program ends."

Thanks to Scott_Y
this gotcha got me too. My old version 2009.b was simpler, and always stored all my open tabs.
