Should I mark the thread solved then? I don't have pcmanfm anymore so I can't double check ssgross's answer.

Hi Ssgross, thanks for posting a real solution, and its also good to hear that there is one. Though I don't think this thread was ever marked as solved (I started it and I don't think I marked it that), I suppose it could be now...

Quasiwango, your problem seems to be pretty much the same as mine when I began this thread. I never did solve it, and switched to Xubuntu.

Fwiw, if I stick in a USB drive, that will open as a new window instead of as a tab. But everything other time it opens as a tab, on whatever window alr...

Hello all, I like to work with four desktops, but if I already have a folder open in pcmanfm in (for instance) Desktop 1, and I go to open a new one in Desktop 3, it only appears as a new tab on desktop 1. Is there a way to change this behavior so that I can open a new instance of the program on ano...
