Locked tabs keep reverting to top-level folder

rohit · 2013-01-14 12:34:02

I have a pane with a few locked tabs and a few unlocked tabs. Here's my scenario:

1. Click on a locked tab, navigate to a sub-folder.
2. Click on an unlocked tab.
3. Click back on the earlier locked tab.

In step #3, I find that I've been kicked back to the top-level folder of the tab, instead of staying on the sub-folder that I had navigated to in step #1.

It's correct behavior for "Locked (navigation allowed)" tabs. When you open new tab, select another tab or close application, locked tab returns to default path.

Thanks for clarifying. While I can understand that behavior for opening a new tab, or when closing the application (and then reopening it), it is odd to have it with 'Locked (navigation allowed)' tabs *within the same session*. In that respect 'Locked' and 'Locked (navigation allowed)' tabs are behaving similarly, which is not very desirable behavior from a user perspective, IMHO.

In my scenario, I have two tabs locked at top-level folders, but I'm navigating into sub-folders to copy/paste between them. Every time I click a tab and paste, then click back to the original tab for the next copy, it's kind of frustrating to find that I have to go navigate into the sub-folder again. I think the whole point of allowing navigation in the "locked" tab should be to leave the navigated folder as-is during the session, but to reset it when closing the tab or opening a fresh one.

Check on Total Commander, it has same behavior.
When "Locked (navigation allowed)" functionality was introduced in JM it worked only on tab creation, but some users asked me to add reset feature on tab selection.

It seems counter-intuitive to me but what more can I say? I don't envy you having to please so many users with their unique requirements

Option will be implemented in 0.1 Alpha 32.

Thank you so much! I really like the way Just Manager is heading, and this particular 'feature' was getting to be a bit of an annoyance

Implemented in 0.1 Alpha 32.
