The guy requesting that has a context menu entry (open in new tab), for openeing tabs right from the folder tree, which works so far on folders, but not for drives or places like "my computer" etc.
For that action, two mouseclicks are required instead of one. He´d like to assign MMB to achieve that action. Is this possible anyhow?
System infos:
I don't think Opus renders the context menu for "Drives"... It might be possible to define something in the registry for the 'Drive' class using dopusrt.exe or something.
You might also suggest he try an alternative like a toolbar button with a variant of the Go DRIVEBUTTONS=multifunctabs command?
Yes, i could suggest that, thx. Is there a way to meld that into one function, so he can always open items from the tree with an all-in-one button? Maybe it´s possible to use both commands, & parts of it would be ignored, depending on the type of item clicked? So if he clicks on a folder, the "Go DRIVEBUTTONS" part would be ignored & "open in new" would apply & vice versa?
I might be misinterpreting the question... my first suggestion was a registry change (can also do it in Opus File Types editor, under 'System File Types->Drive' - but I've attached a reg export as example. This just gives a right click option for "Drives" to Open in a new Opus tab.
The sort of "button" I was suggesting as a second option with multifunctabs and "tree" items don't mix. I was talking about a "toolbar" button that would show the drives on the toolbar as an "alternative" to messing about with getting mouse clicks to work on tree items (like on the attached toolbar file).
If he wants to do it with mouse and the folder tree without a 'Context Menu' item - by just clicking the middle mouse button on a drive, then I think your best bet might be to suggest configuring whatever mouse software he might have for his mouse so that middle mouse click on folders and drives runs the same command as my reg export ("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd go "%1" newtab)... The context menu actions for "Drive" objects are not rendered by Opus, so you can't customize it the same as for folders. At least, specifying the same command to run on Drive "Middle double-click" does nothing at all for me...
