Can I close all lister windows?

Post by *philbo »

Hello everyone

Just done a quick search, and can't find if there's an way to close all lister windows - after viewing a few different files in multiple directories several times over, I'm left with a load of lister windows open and have just browsed through the available commands but can't find one that says "Close all" (or even close one)

It's quicker to close & restart TC than to hunt down all my lists - must be a better way, surely?

Thanks

Phil

Somewhat easier maybe is this:
Hold down the Ctrl key and click all the Lister occurrences on the task bar. Then right click on one of the Lister occurrences on the task bar and select close.

Nice general solution, thanks.
BTW, using this the maybe active lister window must not be clicked, because this would remove the marker from the other windows (Win2k SP4).
Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?

That's indeed the fastest way, e.g. by using one of the Total Commander restarter tools from www.totalcmd.net .

:) So it's not just something I hadn't spotted (like my typical trip to the supermarket... asking someone where the jam is, and it turns out it's been under my nose all the time. Hence the sticky moustache)

Not meaning to be overly picky, but this won't reconnect to an FTP site.. so:

But not very helpful if there a long-time running processes (file transfer ...) in the background.

ghisler, it would be nice to see a menu Close All under Lister's File menu to close all instances of Lister

Just a quick follow-up to say: brilliant, thanks: I've got it as an icon on my toolbar, and on the menu (with shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F10 which I usually forget, so I click the icon anyway)
