Option to omit drive letters in renamed folder tabs
Posted: 2023-03-10, 14:19 UTC
I recently discovered the great feature to rename and lock folder tabs. Also, since long, I have activated the "Always show drive letter in tab title" option. Unfortunately, for my usecase, those two features clash a little.
My usecase:
Thanks a lot for your continuous work on Total Commander, Christian.
My usecase:
- In the left panel, I have a number of tabs pointing to different locations (in different drives) on my local PC. Here it makes total sense to show the drive letter as part of the tab title.
- In the right panel, I have a number of tabs pointing to different servers. On all of these servers, I'm working exclusively on the D: drive. I have renamed those tabs to reflect the server name and locked them, with directory changes still allowed. As these are SMB paths, the drive letters displayed are always "\:", e.g. a tab pointing to "\\server1\d$\folder1" with the tab renamed to "server1" will show up as "\:server1", and another tab pointing to "\\server2\d$\folder2" with the tab renamed to "server2" will show up as "\:server2". In this case it makes no sense to show the drive letter as part of the tab title, as it doesn't provide any extra information.
Thanks a lot for your continuous work on Total Commander, Christian.
