QTTabBar Updates

Works if you search from the Start Menu...

Thanks again for your help. Not sure what happened, but I no longer have the problem. When I use Search Everything & click a folder (or press <Enter>), a new File Folder window opens. I even learned how to create groups, although I can't seem to close them as a group, even though the manual says you can (under Manipulate a Tab).

Options/Events/Interactive/Window and Taskbar/Close button of window-Close window/Apply/OK

Thank you again, Edwin. I actually had that option, but I now realize what I did wrong. I created 3 tabs & created a group from them. However, I didn't open them as a group...I just left them open, so they were just individual tabs. When I closed the explorer window & opened them as a group. The options were there.
The one on the left is the context menu after I opened as a group & the one on the left is when I didn't. I Embarrassed, but it's a learning curve.

Just FYI...

Not only is Mouse Hover Preview for media files invaluable...



... Mouse Hover Preview for many text based files as well; scroll via 4 and 6 on the numerical keypad...



(The rendering is good, just the above gif is bad!!! )

This is terrific. I had trouble at first because, under the Options>Preview, if I clicked on picture>apply, I only got a preview when hovering over images, not text. When I clicked text>apply, it wouldn't give me a preview of an image. I finally just clicked, restore "defaults of this page", & now it works for text & image files.

And, you can add file types that are supported...

Thank you again, Edwin. I tried to add .pdf to both Pictures & Text, but it seems to be inconsistent. I also tried to add .doc & .docx, but only get gibberish.

.pdf- result might differ between image based pdf's and text-based? With Sumatra installed, the first page of a multi-page document is presented.

.doc .docx & .rtf are not pure text documents; there is no appropriate category or handler.

Thank you. I guess I knew that about .doc & .docx, but I know that there are Explorer apps that have a viewer window & thought QTTabBar might have that too. Sumatra looks interesting...I've been using just Adobe Reader. I used to use FoxIt, but it always wanted to install 3rd party extensions, so I got rid of it.
