hello is there a way to rename a folder from the tab list instead of just renaming the tab itself
I don’t think you can do that exactly, but you could have a button in a toolbar or context menu (e.g. when right-clicking the tab) or hotkey which renames the current folder. Or do it via the tree, if that’s turned on.
adding options to the context menu for tabs sounds like it might be the best way. speaking of that i notice there are different options that pop up like the ability to lock the folders. where do i go to change/add context options to the tabs? i know the file types section lets me change for different files but i didnt see anything about tabs.
Tab right-click menus can be edited in Opus 13 but not 12. If you're using the 13 public beta, go to Settings > Customize Toolbars > Context Menus to edit them.
