Configuration - Folder Tabs Back
Settings for the folder tabs above the file panels:
Show tab header also when there is only one tab
Without this option, Total Commander will only show the tab header when there are at least two tabs. If there is only one tab, new tabs need to be opened with Ctrl+T or Ctrl+Cursor up on a file.
Tabs on multiple lines
If active, tabs will be split to multiple lines when they don't fit on a single line. Otherwise two little buttons will be shown which allow to scroll through the tabs.
All tabs have same width
Shows tabs with fixed width, similar to Mozilla.
Limit tab length to: Limits the maximum length of the text shown on a tab to the given number of characters.
Confirm close all tabs Asks before closing all tabs via the right click menu.
Close tab on double click
Allows you to close a tab by double clicking on it (in addition to the middle mouse button click).
Ctrl+Up opens tab in foreground
Normally Ctrl+Up opens a new tab with the dir under the cursor, but remains on the current tab. This way you can quickly open multiple subdirectories in separate tabs. When this option is selected, the tab will be activated immediately.
Open new tabs near current tab
When active, new tabs will be created immediately to the right of the currently active tab. If not, new tabs will be appended to the end of the tabs.
Show locked tabs with an asterisk *
Locked tabs (these are tabs which cannot be deleted) are shown with a * in front of them. You can lock/unlock tabs via the right click menu, and also change their names. This can be used to access very often used directories.
Activate target panel when clicking on one of its Tabs
Determines what happens when clicking on a tab above the currently inactive file panel: If checked, the panel will be activated, otherwise the other panel will remain active.
Always show drive letter in tab title
Show drive letter separated by a colon in front of the current folder name, e.g. c:windows. For FTP connections, the connection number is shown, e.g. 0:tmp. For a disconnected connection (after Total Commander was restarted), # is shown instead of a number.
Show icons on tabs Allows you to show icons on tabs for specific folders. The button >> allows you to choose for which folder types: By default, it will show icons for local drives, configured via folder properties (desktop.ini), virtual folders like the Desktop, file system plugins, ftp connections and from custom view modes.
Return to locked tab root directory on tab change
When using the option "Locked but directory changes allowed", the current directory will return to the saved locked directory when switching to another tab. If this option is not checked, you have to click on the already active tab or the "\" button, or press Ctrl+\ to return to the locked directory.
When the current directory differs from the locked tab, an exclamation mark "!" will be shown in front of the tab title.
Save displayed file types separately for each tab
If checked, the display filter chosen via menu Show - Custom will be saved separately for each tab. Otherwise it will be saved for the entire left or right panel, as in versions older than 10.00.
