Exploring Folders in New Tabs

There are a number of ways to open folders in new tabs. The following is a quick overview of some of them

 

From the list of Favorites

From the list of Drives

A list of drives is on the Favorites menu (both from the button as shown above and from the Files | Favorites > main menu).

Direct Entry on the Command Bar

Hit F8 to show the command bar (or go to if it is already visible) and type in or paste the path to the folder you are interested in. You can even paste the full path to a file, FileBoss is smart enough to strip the filename and open the folder.

 

If the active tab is an Explore view that view will be set to the new folder. If it is not then a new Explore tab will opened to display the folder.

To force the folder being opened in a new tab us the NEW command in the Command Bar, e.g.

  new C:\Plays\DocFiles\Hamlet\ACT_3\Scene_2

By Right-Clicking over a Folder

Hold the mouse cursor over the folder you want to open and right-click to get the following menu (or one similar to it).
