FreeCommander Forum

Hello,
I still want two customizations for the freecommander xe:
1. if I click with the middle mouse button on a drive in the drive-bar, the drive should be open in a new tab in the file-window.
2. I miss one view from the windows explorer (windows 7). In the windows explorer I could select the view "Group by".
It would be helpful for me, if this options also would be built into the new FreeCommander XE.

Thanks for your help.

In the absence of this feature, I suppose you know that you can open a new tab (Ctrl+T), then click the desired drive button.

If you prefer the mouse instead of a keyboard shortcut, you could add the New Tab command as a button. Go to Extras > Customize Toolbar. In the Commands list, scroll down to the View section, locate the "New Folder Tab" command, then click the Insert Command button to place it on your desired toolbar.

Granted, this involves an extra shortcut or mouse click, but it will accomplish your goal quite easily.

Also, if you double-click on the empty tab bar-space, it duplicates it. That's what I do, then I open the drive in that new tab.

I second this request. I like grouping.

I'm still using XP because I don't have time to upgrade and refit a new machine right now, but I administer many Windows7's and have seen grouping from time to time. It does look interesting, and if it were introduced into FC, I *know* I would use it.
