Total Commander

It should look like this screenshot: http://wincmd.ru/files/tlister.png

I see, that there were some attempts to make a plugin for multi-tabbing (here - http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/tlister.html).
But plugin's author had got too much problems with it and abandoned any development of a plugin.
I've read at some forums, that it would be much better to make native tab support in lister.

We really miss such an useful option. Please, add tabs for F3-Lister in next TC release!

p.s.
Switchable, of course.

tlister works fine - pls submit source where the author states him giving up????

Note1:
Plugin-writer did NOT make x64 version and says he will not do it.
But we need x64, too.

Support++

I also miss a listbox to choose which plugin i want to switch to (instead of rolling with '4' key)

I miss this far too often, especially when tools create temporary files without the proper file extension but rather create a *.tmp or *.dat.

Packer plugins have same problem - you can't tell to TC which plugin you wanna use for that file...

1) tlister does not work fine though it is definitely better than the "tabless" Lister;
2) Here is the statement you are looking for. If you can't read Russian, the translation is:

There will be no further plugin version, even this one was a mistake. We need an external program to work with wlx-plugins and support tabs. Perhaps I'll write it some day

There once was WDXWLXGuide (without tabs) to display a file by installed wlx plugins.

64bit wlx are not supported by guide.exe - and none of the current alternative lister -
universal viewer, tcup ultimate viewer support tab but not 64bit wlx...

I second MaxX's request after the problems I encountered with tLister plugin (see http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=270438#270438)

Not only is it convenient to see all open files at a glance, but also some lister plugins 'steal' hotkeys P and N, so keyboard navigation to see previous or next file does not work.

Also the ability to manually select a plugin regardless of the file extension seems like good idea.

Often I need to see multiple files really at once so tabs will prevent me from it.

Lister behaviour should be configurable, of course. Different people, different uses.

How about:
1) Add all F3 actions to same lister instance
2) Add only currently selected files to same (but new) lister instance
3) Always open a new lister instance for every F3 action (so also multiple select will open multiple instances

Just thought this up in a few minutes, no doubt many improvements / cases are possible. Maybe some hotkey to untab a file from existing lister instance and launch it in a new lister instance.
