Use go command to navigate to a group of tabs, a style

Help & Support

Hi, Leo. I have a question: how can I use go command to navigate to a group of tabs, a style? Thanks in advance for your help.

GO
TABGROUPLOAD/K: Load a named Folder Tab Group. Use in conjunction with OPENINRIGHT, etc to specify the file display to load the tabs into.

Example:

GO TABGROUPLOAD=

3

And to apply a specified Lister Style:
Prefs
STYLE/K: Use this parameter to apply a specified Lister Style to the current Lister.
For example, Prefs STYLE=Filmstrip would set the current Lister into Filmstrip mode
(using the configured settings for the Filmstrip Style).

How do I specify the group if it is more than one word e.g. "Mark's Group"?

I tried GO TABGROUPLOAD="Mark's Group" and that doesn't work.

[quote="Christiaan"]GO
TABGROUPLOAD/K: Load a named Folder Tab Group. Use in conjunction with OPENINRIGHT, etc to specify the file display to load the tabs into.

Example:

GO TABGROUPLOAD=[/quote]

GO TABGROUPLOAD="Mark's Group" is how you do it and works okay for me.

Check that's really what you called the group (e.g. you didn't type a ` instead of a ' or, or put a space at the start or end of the name or something hard to notice.)

Make sure it appears under Preferences / Listers / Folder Tab Groups, too. If you created a Style rather than a Folder Tab Group then you need to use the other command Christiaan showed.

(Styles and Folder Tabs are not the same thing.)

Must have been a typo, I cut and pasted the group name and it now works okay.

Its definitely a folder tab group by the way, not a style.

Thanks. Is it possible for us to navigate to a tab group, style like folder alias (just press /...)? That means we treat tab group, style as folder alias :wink:. If so, everything would be easier :smiley:. Thanks again!

If you make a user command that loads the group or style, you can run it by typing > and the command name.

Thank you. It is a great idea to create a user command as you said.

Please look at the below screenshot:

I created a new user command to navigate to Tab Group g1. Now, i just press ?tg to navigate to Tab Group g1, it works well. But i do not know how to give this user command an argument so that i can navigate to many saved Tab Group g2, g3,... Thanks for your help.

Set the Template to NAME and the function to Go TABGROUPLOAD "&NAME&"
