Hello,

yep, an dialog option for Go TABNAME would be really great!

Many thanks and greetings

You can make one yourself using {dlgstring}.

I don't know why you would want to, though, as you can just click on the tab to edit its name (like inline-renaming a filename) if you want to do it using a UI. Go TABNAME just exists to automate things.

Hello Leo,

thanks for all your answers. As always I need that for automation. No kitty cat for clicking the tab ;(.

Is it possible to use tokens with {dlgstring}, like
GO TABNAME={dlgstring|Tab name|%T}
%T - current tab name - that would be a perfect solution.

No, you can't currently do that.

Hi opusfreak,

It wouldn't be too hard to do this as a standalone app. The app would use "dopusrt.exe /info paths" to get the name of the current tab, then it would popup an input box using the name of the current tab as the default string, and then, when the user hits "Enter", it would enact the change with "dopusrt.exe /acmd Go Tabname". The app could be built in any programming or scripting language, and it could be assigned to a hotkey within Opus itself.

It's a bit roundabout, but I think it would allow you to achieve your goal.
