Only one copy of the program at the same time

Unfortunately I didn't found such options in the preferences menu of the program.

I hope that is possible as the program replaces the windows explorer to be able to stuck with only one copy of the program in the memory every time I click on a folder.

Not as it is by default to open a new instance of the program.

I reviewed the option to open the new folders in new tabs but that's not the same thing.

I need the newly opened window be able to take the active in program window - I think it's called lister.

Apologize for the not so good english but I hope that you'll understand what I mean. :slight_smile:

There is only ever one instance of Opus in memory. That instance may have multiple windows open but you'll only see one copy of dopus.exe in task manager.

So re-using a single window for external folder launches won't save any memory or speed things up as it's just opening a new window, not a new copy of the program.

If you want to because you don't want extra windows on the screen, I think the option to open folders in new tabs is the only one at the moment.

That was exactly that I wanted , not to open extra windows and tabs.

I hope that will be possible in the future or to have such option currently available.

As well is opening new tabs memory consuming ?

A tiny bit, but not much.

If the PC was so low on memory that opening an extra tab could make much difference then I think you'd be running into all sorts of problems either way, so it's not worth worrying about from a memory perspective; only if you want to avoid new tabs/windows because they cause screen clutter.

I'm confused both by the original post and the responses. The original post says, in part

By default, why would clicking on a folder open either a new window or tab?

bub3d, what, exactly, are you doing that causes a new window or a new tab when you don't want one?

I think he means when clicking on a folder outside of Opus. That always opens either a new window or a new tab (depending on configuration) and there isn't currently an option to make it take over an existing window instead.

10x leo, that was what I mean :slight_smile:
