SelectionChanged event & BandObjectLib

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:56:45 +0000

I notice that there is a 'SelectionChanged' event raised by an IPluginServer implementation. I also noticed that QTTabBar makes use of BandObjectLib. I'm also using BandObjectLib but can't work out where a 'SelectionChanged' event is raised from (i.e. which object in the BandObject raises this event and what is it called).

Can any kind soul point me in the right direction?

Folder view not reserved for a specific case

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:28:17 +0000

Hi, first of all, thanks a lot for this great great great app. But one thing is bugging me…

I set the My Computer contents 'view' option as 'icon', the 'arrange icons' setting as 'by type' and checked the option 'show in groups'. Now, I deselected the QTTabBar option "Do not capture window as a new tab when opened from outside". But after that, when I choose My Computer from the start menu while one or more tabs are already open, the new tab contains the drive icons in icon view, but the other two settings are changed. This is happening every time I try to open My Computer. Is there a fix for reserving the My Computer view settings?

Thanks.

x64 Vista - QT TabBar - option to start is greyed out

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:50:36 +0000

Hello all,

I've had some WinInstall issues with my Vista x64 install but the only thing I can't get back and working is QT TabBar, and I miss it greatly!

When installed, I can't activate it, by right-clicking the Explorer menu-bar - the QT items appear greyed.

I've tried CC-cleaning and manually searching/deleting QT items in the reg, please, does anyone have any tips for cleaning this up and re-enabling it?

Cheers

Path Name: My Computer

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:40:50 +0000

Why I can't set a path for new tab as My Computer? This is ridiculous!

UNC path names

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:43:28 +0000

I use "my network places" under XP to bookmark lots of folders - this stores the paths in UNC format. Unfortunately, when using the forward/back buttons, I get a "QTTabBar failed to open" error.
Any work-arounds or patches?
I'm on 1.2.2.1

how to change shortcut to create new tabs?

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:12:11 +0000

hi,

I've recently installed qttabbar and i think it's really really helpful in many ways but somehow new tabs just open when I press shift and doubleclick on a folder. Given the natural behaviour of shift, this could lead often to opening 10 tabs or more at once… I just want to change the shortcut to "strg+doubleclick" but can't figure out how?!

could you please help me?

Tab icons, how to enable / why not working

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 00:03:26 +0000

So, I was happily using Qttabbar, when my computer (from other reasons) went nuts.
Had to format and reinstall everything.
Everything else is working perfectly after little tweaking, except for the tab icons…
Also it seems I cant mousewheel click any of those links anymore…

It was like this before - http://koti.mbnet.fi/john_edw/misc/tabbar_1.PNG
And now it is like this - http://koti.mbnet.fi/john_edw/misc/tabbar_2.PNG

How can I get those icons back ?

Idea: auto-hide menubar when single tab open

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:24:23 +0000

i think that having this option would really improve the interface(especially with some fade effects (-;).

Back button = history back?

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:40:34 +0000

Hi there,

first of all: QTTabBar is a great plugin and i really love using it!

But one thing is driving me nuts: the new behaviour of the back button.
In normal explorer it serves as a "history back" function, so you are able to browse through the recently viewed folders. With QTTabBar installed it just refers to the root of the current drive.

I have searched through the options but did not found any switch that could bring me the old behaviour back - is there any? Or any chance you can add this in the next release? I really miss the "old" behaviour and while searching through this board i have found several other posts from people that have the same problem.
People are creatures of habit :)

Best regards,
Thomas

New explorer window instead of a new tab

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:55:06 +0000

Just installed a 1.2.2.1 version.
From some reason a new windows explorer opens a new window instead of a new tab in the existing window.
I suppose that it should be some configuration, but failed to find it.

Can you help?

Thank you

Heavy operation of QTTabBar

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 06:49:31 +0000

When using QTTabBar, the explorer window works quite heavily.
Switching from one tab to another takes sometimes about 1 second. what causes that heaviness?

Error on startup "Index was out of range"

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 05:32:31 +0000

First off, thanks Quizo for this most useful app! ありがとうございました！本当に助けます。File browsing in Vista absolutely sucks without it.
One annoyance I'd like to report though, in Vista, if I have the "Restore previous folder windows at logon" option enabled in my windows folder options, every time the PC starts up with a previous window open, I get the following .NET Framework unhandled exception error:
"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index."

Here's a snippet from the error message window:

 ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException(ExceptionArgument argument, ExceptionResource resource) at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException() at QTTabBarLib.QTButtonBar.CreateItems(Boolean fRefresh) at QTTabBarLib.QTButtonBar.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Loaded Assemblies ************** mscorlib Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.1434 (REDBITS.050727-1400) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/mscorlib.dll ---------------------------------------- QTTabBar Assembly Version: 1.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 1.2.2.1 CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/QTTabBar/1.0.0.0__78a0cde69b47ca25/QTTabBar.dll ---------------------------------------- System Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.1434 (REDBITS.050727-1400) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.1434 (REDBITS.050727-1400) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Windows.Forms/2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Drawing Assembly Version: 2.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 2.0.50727.1434 (REDBITS.050727-1400) CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Drawing/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Drawing.dll ---------------------------------------- QTPluginLib Assembly Version: 1.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 1.0.0.2 CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/QTPluginLib/1.0.0.0__78a0cde69b47ca25/QTPluginLib.dll ---------------------------------------- QTFileTools Assembly Version: 1.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 1.2.2.1 CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/QTTabBar/1.0.0.0__78a0cde69b47ca25/QTTabBar.dll ---------------------------------------- Interop.SHDocVw Assembly Version: 1.1.0.0 Win32 Version: 1.1.0.0 CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/Interop.SHDocVw/1.1.0.0__78a0cde69b47ca25/Interop.SHDocVw.dll ----------------------------------------

I also installed the .NET Framework v3.5 but the problem is still there. If you have time to fix this issue that would be great :) (If not, I guess I can just disable the "Restore previous folder windows at logon" option permanently)
Thanks again!

Open folders in current window

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:58:47 +0000

Hi, I love this app, but one thing I'm missing is that when i open a new folder from outside the current win explorer windows it opens a new window instead of adding a tab to the current one.
Imagine, for example, i have one window open with some tabs, and open a folder from the desktop on the background.
The content of this folder appears in a new explorer window instead of opening as a new tab in the currently open window.

Am I doing something wrong (perhaps ignoring some setting) or is this the expected behaviour?

Thanks a lot

WinRAR context menu vanishes (Vista-64bit)

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:26:54 +0000

I've just installed QTTabBar and now my WinRAR right-click context menu items no longer show. Is this a bug or can I change a setting somewhere to make them show again?

Thanks

Can't create new tab by middle-clicking folder in navigation pane (Vista-64bit)

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:28:48 +0000

First off - this is an excellent add-on to Windows. It's great to finally work with tabs in explorer after being so used to Firefox's tabs for years now. Thanks!

I've only just installed and am familiarising myself with the settings/functionality etc.

I am unable to create a new tab by middle-clicking a folder in the navigation pane (folder list) on the left hand side of Windows Explorer. Nothing happens at all when I middle click folders here.

Is this a bug or functionality which is yet to be added?

Everything else seems to work fine so far.

Cheers
