The tabbed ui is a wonderful extension of V6, congratulations!

Now may I just suggest a small, but useful detail: when there is one file only opened, couldn't you open the path to that file already in the "XPlor"-tab??!!!

(And when the users passes several files to edit, perhaps open all of the paths?)

Alternatively: provide a macro-command to affect the treeview in XPlor...

Cheers

Michael

It is a reasonable suggestion, but we do have other priorities right now. I think that a right-click "Open path" to the file in the current buffer
might be the best way to implement this. I don't like things to work differently depending upon how many files are open. And many time you wouldn't want Explorer to open to the current path.

Explorer really only has one path open.

If/when we implement this, a macro command should be easy to add.
