Open Dual Lister from tabs

I have opened Single Lister with two tabs. Is any way to switch it to Dual Lister where left panel will show contents of first tab, right panel show second tab contents. And then switching to Single Lister mode will revert panels paths into tabs again.

Right click over the tab folder icon and choose the option to Move tab to right to do the first step.

And then do the same thing again but choose Move tab to left to do the second step.

Thank you. I know this method, but I wanted to automatize this process by clicking one button and get dual lister from single with two tabs )

Well when I want to do that, which is quite often, I just click the |-> button in the upper right hand corner to open the current lister in the right pane. When I'm doing whatever, I just close the right pane and I'm back to a single lister again.

The underlying command that will do this is Go TABMOVE=split

Jon, you are great! Thank you!

Only one small bad thing: after splitting first tab (left) stand on right panel and second tab (right) stand on left panel.

Undocumented feature? The Help file only describes Go TABMOVE. Using 9.5.6.0 on 32-bit XP, Go TABMOVE and Go TABMOVE=split appear to do exactly the same.

The Help file says.. TABMOVE/S: Move the current Folder Tab to the other side of the Lister.

So if the first tab is current when you execute the command, it will be moved. If you select the second tab before you execute Go TABMOVE it should do what you want.

You can split from a specified tab number, e.g. Go 1 TABMOVE=split would split from the second tab (counting from 0).

Yes, not it split it in a right way. But another bug appears :slight_smile: Previous method worked as switch (toggle effect). Now it's only one way :frowning:

Not really a bug - if there's only one tab, you can't split from the second :slight_smile:

I know :slight_smile: Anyway will split tabs by your method, and switch back via dragndrop tab in right panel to the left than enable single mode again.

Thanks for all, and special thanks to Jon!

You could make a "three-button" with right-click set to run just a regular Go TABMOVE to send the split tab back to a single pane... but the "position" of the tabs may swap around which I don't think you can control.
