2 questions about Folder Tabs

Help & Support
1

I find myself using folder tabs a lot lately, and wish I could move the folder tab bar. You have options of it being above or below the view window, but it places it way above the other toolbars if you're using Location Bar toolbars. I wish there was a way to have it directly above the file view window. Any way to do that?

There's also a way to have a vertical bar on the left or right, which I sometimes use when I'm working with a lot of them. But I don't want to have to go into preferences every time I switch between above and left. Is there a way to create a tollbar button that would toggle between the folder tabs being on the left or above?

As for the second part of your question, you could make a two (or three) way button to toggle between tab positions, like described in the Set TABPOSITION section in the link (you have to scroll down a bit).

Go TABLIST

But currently it is very limited and has neither a close button nor a context menu.

And the tab bar cannot be switched off.

Ah, so did you create a new toolbar, with just the go tablist in it?

I was able to create a button that sets the location, but I'm realizing I'm not sure how to create a toggle button that toggles between 2 states.

Yes and put the Toolbar under Preferences / Location Bar / Toolbars

And with evaluator code you can certainly do more with the buttton to get around the limits. But I can't code.
