When loading a tab group that contains nav locked tabs, the nav lock function isn't working. Have to reactivate nav lock setting or run command dopusrt.exe /restart to get nav lock function working again.
Thanks for the report!
This is happening again, but only when saving two or more nav locked tab sets. loading a tab group with one set works.
This seems OK to me from testing so far.
Is Link+NavLock definitely turned on for the tabs in the group; not just Linked tabs?
Link+NavLock should give you color-coded folder icons if you edit the group via Preferences:
And italic tab names on the tabs themselves:
Link on its own, without NavLock, should instead give color-coded link icons in Preferences:
And the tabs themselves do not have italic labels:
If the tabs are only linked, not navlocked, then it just means both tabs become active when you click either of them, but they won't follow each other around.
(One thing to watch out for is that you click OK or Apply in the main Preferences dialog after making any changes, since clicking OK in the Edit Tab Group dialog doesn't save the changes to disk until then. That confused me for a moment while making the screenshots.)
They are definately Linked+NavLocked. Thanks for responding.
If there's nothing private about the folder paths etc., could you zip and send us the config file storing that Folder Tab Group?
You should find it under /dopusdata\TabGroups
with a .otg
extension.
It does not seem to matter what folders I try (although have only tried a few) the result is always the same. The GIF above was a test folder created specifically for the privacy. Shall I sent the test folder tab group instead?
Something else that caught my attention is the icons are not the link icons as they should be. The drop down menu confirms that 'No Link' is not selected.
Edit Tab Group dialog
But preview of the tabs along the bottom of the actual preference page shows all the links.
I have tried to re-link the folders within the edit tab group dialog but the icons remain as folders.
Edit:
Here is the test folder anyways, navigate to C:\ and paste following into new folder dialog...

I wasn't able to reproduce the exact thing shown in the gif, but it looks like the Tab Group is different to the one in the gif.
(The gif's tab group has none of the tabs locked, and all three pairs nav-locked. The uploaded tab group has all of the tabs set to Locked (Allow Changes) and only the first two pairs nav-locked.)
But I did find one bug which I've just fixed:
- If you had two Locked (Allow Changes) tabs linked in NavLock mode, changed folders, then reset to the home folder and changed folders again, NavLock would stop working and show an out-of-sync error.
In the Edit Tab Group dialog, if navlock is turned on then they should be folder icons. Link icons only show up for things which are linked but not navlock'd.
That preview doesn't indicate lock or navlock state, so that's normal/OK. I'll see if we can make it I've done a change to make it use italics for navlock'd tabs so it'll be consistent with the real tabs on the file display in that respect.
Sorry I missed your point about the icons! I was trying different variations of the tab settings to see if the problem would go away and ended up with the locked tabs. If I find out anymore information I'll be sure to post it here. Thanks.
I have found the OnBeforeFolderChange script event is causing this. But only when a tabgroup is loaded that contains more than one navlocked tab. If navlocked tabs are loaded from a lister layout or set manually they work fine with the below test script active. Thanks in advance!
function OnInit(init)
{
init.name = "Navlock Test";
init.desc = "OnBeforeFolderChange event breaks Navlock";
init.copyright = "yonder";
init.version = "1.0";
}
function OnBeforeFolderChange(data)
{
return false;
}
This will be fixed it the next beta, which should be out soon.
