Folder Tab Groups are sets of predefined tabs (folders) that can be opened in one operation. For example, you might have a set of work folders for a particular project that you always need quick access to. You could define a tab group that opens all the folders in folder tabs, and then when you're ready to work on that project, you only need to select the group in order to open all those folders at once.
The toolbar buttons above the list let you create and manage your configured tab groups.
To organize tab groups into folders, use the New Folder button to create a folder. You can then create tab groups in that folder, or use drag-and-drop to move existing groups into that folder.
The Mark as hidden button lets you mark a group as hidden, to stop it appearing in tab groups lists outside of this page - hidden groups can only be accessed using the Go command.
To edit a tab group, select it and click the Edit button (or double-click it). This shows the Edit Tab Group dialog.
The Name field lets you modify the tab group name, and the Description field lets you assign your own description to the group. The other options at the top are:
Each entry in the list below represents a tab, or more specifically, a folder that will be opened in a tab when the group is loaded. Use the toolbar buttons above the list to configure the tabs in the group. Most of the buttons are self-explanatory; those that aren't so obvious include:
You can also use the palette button to the right of Link Tab to assign an edge color to the tab.
You can assign any label you like to a tab - it doesn't have to have the name of the folder displayed on it. Click the Edit Tab button to edit a tab's label (or to change the folder for an existing tab). You can use several special "tokens" to insert information in the tab label:
| %P | full path of the current folder |
| %N | name of the current folder |
| %R | drive root of the current folder |
