The are these two keyboard shortcuts, that can also be places as icons on the Splitter - and that have such description [marked in italic]:
Close all folder tabs - Closes all not locked folder tabs in the active panel
Close all tabs in both panels - Closes all not locked folder tabs in both panels
which is incorrect and with misleading / inconsistent description. Because either these should be changed to
Close all unlocked tabs except current one - Closes all not locked folder tabs in the active panel but leaves one
Close all unlocked tabs in both panels except current ones - Closes all not locked folder tabs in both panels but leaves ones
although I am not sure if >>ones<< is a proper English word that could be used there. Maybe but >>leaves one in each<< would be a better description
Or alternatively these options should be renamed like above - but also expanded with two new
Close all unlocked tabs - Closes all not locked folder tabs in the active panel
Close all unlocked tabs in both panels - Closes all not locked folder tabs in both panels
with these allowing for leaving of zero unlocked tabs
After executing either of these two new options a new current tabs, as a new tabs for a user would be set those locked ones which would happen to be the last [right] ones. And if a user would have none locked tabs when executing them, then either one of the unlocked tabs would be left [like it is happening now] or brand new tabs with main folder of the drive C would be opened
An in my opinion the latter should be implemented - i.e. if a user wants to clear FreeCommander of cluttering temporary tabs then they should be liquidated entirely, because if a user for whatever reason would have decided that a given folder / tab is important, then that is the what the "Lock folder tabs" option is for [which could had been executed before such clearing process took place]
"Close all tabs" leaves one unnecessary tab - and a need for new options
Re: "Close all tabs" leaves one unnecessary tab - and a need for new options
I have found this option under the
Tools > Settings > View > Folder Tabs > Tab Management > Always keep one tab open
After deselecting it, my FC works more to my likening
However my propositions are still valid, as they would allow for suiting more ways of using FreeCommander

Re: "Close all tabs" leaves one unnecessary tab - and a need for new options
It seems that after all it only works when active Tabs are pinned ones - thus this changes nothing in current behavior of [my] FC
Thus
