Playing around with this usefuld feature, that i haven't explored yet, i have following fetature request. Now we have the possibility to pair the folders bi-directional
Folder A <-> Folder B
But at least for some of my use cases it would be handy to have two other option
Folder A <- Folder B
Folder A -> Folder B
meaning, that in the first example entering folder B would trigger folder A to be opened as a part of the pair, while the second example would require clicking folder A to open folder B.
I guess, that could be simplified by having just a single "one way" checkbox, and the direction would be determined by which one is the main folder and which is the paired folder, so that in this mode the main folder would trigger the other. I got the idea from the fact, that often i need to call the pair from the "smaller" folder to the bigger one, while the other way around it mostly isn't intended.
Ok, thanks, i almost suspected there's a way already, having seen the other menu fields there. Being still a 100% Regex noob, may i ask you for a short example? I guess i have to put the Regex code into those two fields "Match" and "Replace" somehow, but i'm stuck already before i can begin to try things.
If you want it to be more exact (and avoid possibly matching folders which have the specified name as a parent/prefix), you could also add a $ at the end of the first path:
C:\\Foo$ -> C:\\Bar
(Not sure if that is really needed or not, without testing it.)
Still not sure what has to go where. I have following now, but clicking the first tab/path doesn't open the paired tab in the destination. It works only, when i click on some of the folders under that path (L:\Drop02), but that's not convenient.
Another screenshot. I want the paired folder to be opened in the destination when i activate that tab, wthout to have to go into one of the sub folders.
Then i misunderstood the purpose of that feature. I assumed, activating that tab would also activate the paired tab. As the tabs themselves also represent folders.
The scenario is, i have that working folder Drop02, where all new photo sessions go first, and in the destination i want to have the main folder for moving the processed folder sometime later, where the paired tab function would take care of opening that tab for me. I yet have to figure out what the usecase is for this function, other than that.
Maybe it's worth to consider that added functionality?
Paired Folders change which folder you get if you open the dual file display (or various other things, depending on settings) when in particular places.
(Paired Folders can create linked tabs when opening the dual file display, so they are related, but not the same thing.)
Yes, i have used tab linking prior to this test. Here i'm specifically interested in that "one way" function, which normal tab linking doesn't provide (at least not that i would know about). Because when i open the "bigger folder", i mostly don't need the smaller one also to be opened. Therefore that would have been a nifty little tweak.
Thanks anyway, i will have to check out the subtle differences between the two functions.
