- Create a toolbar button with this code:
Go TABSELECT=last Go TABMOVE=-2 Go C:\ NEWTAB OPENINDEST - Run
Prefs PAGE="autoloading"and ensure that folders aren't read any earlier than on tab activation. - Run
Prefs PAGE="foldertabgroups"to set up a tab group. - Create a new tab group "tmp" with paths
C:\andC:\non-existentin that order with the first one being the active tab (indicated by its text being bold).- Instead of
C:\non-existent, ideally rather use a path that can more easily be recognized as attempted to load like the shell path::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}("My Network Places"), which at least for me takes 30 seconds to load every time. - Don't forget to click "Apply".
- Instead of
- Open the tab group in a new single-display lister by running
Go NEW=nodual,notree,nometapane,noviewpane,noutilitypanel TABGROUPLOAD=tmp - Run the toolbar button initially created.
- Problem: The folder only visited intermediately by the command sequence is read. In the case of
::{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}, this means blocking for 30 seconds, but it may also be undesired in other cases (HDD spin-up or whatever).
- Problem: The folder only visited intermediately by the command sequence is read. In the case of
Possible solutions that come to mind:
- Always defer reading the active tab until the end of the code.
- Provide an
@...command modifier that, when used, defers reading the active tab until the end of the code.
