I'm not sure if there's another setting I need to change, but the "Open In" field for all my favorites is not working.
I've set all of my favorites to Open In: New Tab (or Tabs for Active/Inactive double favorites), but none of them do- they all open in the existing tab(s).
As I'm typing this the only thing I can think of is that I've been migrating my FreeCommander settings for a while from job to job, PC to PC- so I suppose it's conceivable that my favorites predate the introduction of the Open In field.
Or, I'm Just Doing It Wrong, which is usually par for the course.
Thanks!

It appears that this option currently only works via the tree view.

Workaround: press CTRL key and click on menu item.

Re: Favorites "Open In" Behavior Question
Ok, that's good to know re the tree- I always have 2 sets of tabs and 2 folder trees showing so I never tried that; and I have to kinda contort my hand weird to input Ctrl-click, so I hadn't tried that one either - but that's great!
Thanks for that!

Re: Favorites "Open In" Behavior Question
thanks for getting that sorted! Looks to work great in v953.
I wish all devs were so responsive to bugs, you've got a great system and great support, especially with how small your team is.
Be well, ~C

Re: Favorites "Open In" Behavior Question
Please note there is another bug with "Open Favorite in a new tab" using Ctrl/click.
If there is only one tab open it still opens in the current tab the first time you attempt it. Second time it works.
This also happens when opening a drive.
