Open new Lister containing all current tabs, Dual Display both panes

Help & Support

Hi all!

I've scoured the forum, found no answer, hope I didn't just miss it.

I'd like to open, in a new Lister, a duplicate of my current File Display(s), including all tabs on both right and left of a Dual Display.

This could mean duplicating the active Lister, but I'm not concerned with elements such as toolbars and panes -- they don't have to be duplicated (they may appear in their default state). I'm just looking for a new Lister containing all the tabs in the existing one, on both sides of a Dual Display.

I don't know whether I should have used the term File Display or File Displays (plural), because I can't seem to find an actual definition for the File Display. I see the label on the screenshot in Help | Basic Concepts | The Lister. But that label reads "File Displays" (plural), though only one tab in one pane is shown. So what is a single File Display, and what are multiple ones?

I've crammed a request and a question into one post. Hope they both make adequate sense. Thanks to all for making this the most informative and thorough application forum ever. DO rules.

How on earth could I have missed that in searching the forum? I hunted for about 30 minutes -- how could I not have used the search terms that find this ... < sigh >. Last thing I want to do is add more overhead for you guys, as I believe you already work about 27 hours a day. Thanks and I'll try to do better next time ...

Don't worry, I wrote the whole post again and tried to post it, only to be told the title had already been used by an almost identical post of mine from a few years ago. :slight_smile: I didn't think to search the forum either, and missed my own post.

In the end I merged a couple of new ideas into the old post.

What, you don't instantly remember all 37,000 posts you've written? Tsk.
