Possible bug with saved lister styles

I have a saved lister style that contains 5 tabs

My Computer
My Documents
D:
folder1
folder2

Some of the tabs are locked including the My Computer tab. Now it I double click on the C drive from within the my computer tab a new tab opens showing the C drive, which it should. So now I have the existing 5 tabs plus an extra C drive tab. Now if I click the styles dropdown menu and select the saved style my original 5 tabs are not opened up. Instead I get:

C:
C:
My Documents
D:
Folder1
Folder2

The My computer tab has been replaced by two C: tabs!! It seems to replace the My computer tab with whatever drive I previously clicked on in the My computer tab. So if I double clicked the E drive from My computer, this would open in a new tab and then when I select to load up the saved style the first two tabs will be the E drive.

Make sure you're using the latest version (9005) as a number of bugs to do with locked tabs were fixed in the updates since the original 9.0 release.

Yes i'm using 9005

OK I’ve been taking a look at this over the last few days and the bug seems to be related to having a style saved with “my computer” in the first tab and also the tab being a locked tab, the latter being the key in reproducing the bug. I created a new stlye that closes all the existing tabs and then opens one locked tab which is my computer. But when I open this stlye it doesn’t work correctly. Lets say I just have one tab open, C:. Then I select the new style but instead of the C:\ tab closing and being replaced with a locked tab pointing to My computer is leaves the C:\ tab open and then opens another tab to the left which is a copy of the first tab but is locked. So in this example I end up with two C:\ tabs, with the first one being locked.

If I go back into the style and alter the my computer tab to be an unlocked or locked tab (allow folder changes) it works ok. So the bug just seems to be related to the tab being locked.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Yes I can, I'll put this on the list to be fixed in the next version.

I can confirm that this bug is fixed in 9006.

What great service, GPSoft are the best in the business at bug fix releases from feedback.

Hello.

I've just installed 9008 and it appears that a bug that was fixed in 9006 has appeared in this current version. As before I'm using the same saved lister style that contains the same tabs, some locked.

My Computer
My Documents
D:
Folder1
Folder2

Since installing 9008 when opening the saved style instead of getting the above tabs I get:

My Computer
My Documents
My Computer
My Documents
Folder1
Folder2

It appears to be not closing the My computer or My Documents tabs as it did previously when loading up the styles. I'm not sure if it's related to the locked tabs though because the My Computer and folder2 tabs are set to locked yet the folder2 closes when the style is opened but the My computer tab doesn't.

Which tabs are showing before you switch to the style? (The easiest way to explain it might be to post screenshots showing the lister before the style is selected and after it, plus what it's supposed to look like.)

OK.

Whenever I open a lister I have it set so it opens with a saved style. Within this style are a number of tabs and I have the option checked to close any other tabs whenever this style is opened.

Now if I immediately choose to reopen this style this is what is displayed, it should show exactly the same tabs as before but instead it's showing these extra tabs.

I've attached 3 screenshots to show the how the style tabs are defined. How the tab bar should look and how it's looking at the moment.

Does this help at all or am I not being clear?





I can confirm that this problem has now been fixed in the update just released. Another speedy fix, thanks very much.
