Right-click tab (particularly the +) menu item "Explore Folder from Clipboard"
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2024 1:23 pm
Currently if you right-click the 'Folders' title of the Folder Bar you can Explore Folder from Clipboard
However that only operates on the active tab.
It's quite useful to be able to create a new tab explored from the clipboard.
* I think if you right-click the + tab (new tab) there should be an option "Explore Folder from Clipboard" that creates a new tab, opens the folder sidebar if not present, and goes to the Folder in the side tree per the clipboard (if the clipboard is a file it could also locate the file in the results). Probably the blank tab bar space on the right of the + could do the same.
* This could probably be generalised to all the tabs having this option (the existing menus are small) since you have to click the tab to focus it which means you might as well right-click and save an extra bit of additional mousing. Technically this should be left-click to focus then right-click to Explore by the clipboard though in practice I think right-clicking and Exploring from clipboard on a defocussed tab could also focus it since that's usually going to be the task, though an option would cover all bases if the issue were then raised by anyone who wanted to Explore a defocussed tab without focussing it.
Cheers! David
