[Suggest] - 'Folder Tabs' & 'Lister plugins'

[drakul]

1) suggest:

Example:

I have got "Folder Tabs" :

[*Adds][*news][*other][*wincmd][*nothig][Op]
(red - means 'Folder Tab' is active)

the last one [Op] isn't locked

When I'm in [*other] "Folder Tab" and I change directory to for example "subdir" TCmd creates new "Folder Tabs" [subdir],

[*Adds][*news][*other][*wincmd][*nothig][Op][subdir]
(red - means 'Folder Tab' is active)

when I click other locked [*Adds] "Folder Tabs"
and I change directory to "subdir2" TCmd creates new "Folder Tabs" [subdir2] again.

[*Adds][*news][*other][*wincmd][*nothig][Op][subdir][subdir2]
(red - means 'Folder Tab' is active)

When I repeat this 20 times I have 20 new 'Folder Tabs'

I suggest to create Option "Switch to not locked 'Folder Tab' when leave locked 'Folder Tab' "

2) suggest:

Example:

I have got "Folder Tabs" :

[*Adds][*news][*other][*wincmd][*nothig][Op]

the last one [Op] isn't locked.
When I'm in [Op] folder and change directory to "news"
not by clicking 'Folder Tab' [* news] (but it is the same folder)
TCmd changes label of "Folder Tab" from [Op] to [news]
so I have got

[*Adds][*news][*other][*wincmd][*nothig][news]
(red - means 'Folder Tab' is active)

but second and sixth "Folder Tab" are the same directory.

I suggest to create create Option "Switch to 'Folder Tab' if I'm in 'Folder Tab' directory"

Suggested mode:

[*Adds][*news][*other][*wincmd][*nothig][previous_dir_before_news]
(red - means 'Folder Tab' is active)
(green- means 'Folder Tab' change label to folder name before, switching to red 'Folder Tab')


3) suggest:

I have got some lister plugins but when I press [F3] I see always text
plugin doesesn't work at the start.
I have to press some times [4] to switch to the right lister plugin.

I suggest to create associations with extension for every lister plugin (like in packers plugins)

4) suggest:

I have got also some lister plugins for the same file types

I suggest to create priority for every lister plugin for the same extension

(Sorry my terrible English)

btw: Total Commander is the Best !!!

1) I didn't find a good solution for this, but I'm considering an option "auto-close duplicate tabs". Would this help?

2) Here my suggestion 1) could help too

3) This is possible, but not always done by plugin writers. You can do it yourself, though, by adding a 0_detect=, 1_detect= etc line. You can find the exact syntax in the lister plugin writer's guide. Example:
0_detect="EXT="WAV" | EXT="AVI""

4) You can solve this by sorting the lister plugins - the one at the top will be tried first, until there is a match. You can still cycle through them with '4'.
