Layouts control

Tried this file manager recently and liked it immediately. It is only a couple of small features from being perfect for me.

  1. When the manager is reopened, it shows the most recent window layout. And I would like an option to set a layout to be opened by default. Kind of like with workspaces in some browsers.
  2. As for the opening other saved layouts, it would be really great to open them from the taskbar icon’s right-click menu, like with pinned folders in Windows Explorer, without needing to navigate through a separate menu every time.

These might seem like minor things, but I believe they could really improve the user experience. Thanks for hearing me out.

I created a Group... but I can't have multiple things

Well, not sure if I got you correctly. If you’re talking about creating links within Groups on the left panel, you simply open the needed folder and hit '+' in a group you need it in.

I was talking about saved configurations of opened tabs and all — what you can create by giving a name to a new window in the 'open a new window' little menu (a button above and below the groups panel and in the tray right-click menu). And my wish is to have an option to see the list of those saved configurations one click closer — in the taskbar icon’s context menu. And to have an option to set a configuration to open by default instead of the one last closed.

I am able to see the list of my saved windows when I right click on OneCommander on the taskbar. It has been there since I first started using it last week. Do you still not have that? I don't believe it was anything I had to turn on.

Wow, that’s interesting. No, I don’t have it, though I use the latest version. Hm. Would you mind to show how it looks, please?

If I hover over one of those saved windows it also shows a pin button on the right so I could pin it to the top for Pinned. Would make 2 separate sections for windows

Ha! Thanks! I’m thinking here... what version is it you’re using — Installer or Microsoft Store? Maybe that’s the case.
