Title: tabs tabs tabs
Post by: bMinor on September 04, 2021, 08:03:31 am
In MC25 I would access + work with tracks via 6 tabs. These 6 tabs would reopen after an application restart.
That doesn’t happen anymore.
How do I get my tabs back the way they were before relaunching the app?

What I get instead are white blank tabs called 'start' (I disabled “show start in tree” ) and the default Start screen still pops up (+ a number of blank tabs).

When I load a saved view I get my tabs back but another new empty tab is added somewhere between my original tabs.

What exactly is “lock tab” supposed to do?

Open options and check settings for "Startup". Ensure that "Location" is set to "Last Location". That will sort your program launching with start pages issue.

If you lock a tab, and then click a different tree location whilst that tab is active, that different tree location you clicked on will open in a new tab, preserving the locked tab.

I can't find "Last Location" in settings for "Startup" but I did check "Last Exit View" which I assume you meant. That didn't work. After a MC restarted the screen is back to "Start" view + extra white blank tabs.

to clarify "Start", what i get after a restart the Start screen (Welcome to JRiver...) in all 6 tabs. the exact number of tabs i had previously open but with the wrong content.

"Last Exit View" is a "Mode" option. Please recheck the "Location" options.... Look for "Last Location" and choose that...

thanks Marko, that worked.
I missed that one because nothing was chosen in Location making it look like as if Mode was part of Location...

locked tabs is a good feature
