I'm an ubuntu newbie.. just installed 14.04 .. And the latest version of PCManFM ..
I've been used to using windows 7 and explorer++
When I use the PCMan file manager, I have about a dozen tabs open at once. These tabs I'd like to leave permanently open. Is there any way I can get PCManFM to remember them, so that if I close the manager and reopen it, they are all still open, just as I left it in the previous session?

Re: Restoring tabs from previous session
Welcome to the LXDE forum. PCMan FM has a bookmark feature now. You can bookmark any file and it will appear in the left hand column under Bookmarks. Is this what you are looking for?

Re: Restoring tabs from previous session
that's handy, but not really what I was after.. I'd just like to be able to close it, and next time I open it for all the same tabs to STILL be open.. so it looks like it did last time it was used.. with bookmarks it'd take too much clicking.. i always have the same 12 to 15 tabs open.. maybe this is not (yet) a feature with pcmanfm ..?Rex Bouwense wrote:Welcome to the LXDE forum.

Re: Restoring tabs from previous session
good one, seppalta, but more of a workaround. and what if the tabs aren't always the same...
mangodurian, i'm about 95% sure that the answer is no.
spacefm, a fork of pcmanfm, has this feature. (it's rather dormant atm, but still quite usable. if you try it, try to use it without udevil, it should tie in nicely with your other lxde components.)

Re: Restoring tabs from previous session
Hi, I'm just another lover of LXDE and PCManFM who also wants the last one to save the session (tabs) after closing the program and re-opening.
Is there any place where we could ask for such feature for future versions/releases?, I guess that would be something really useful and not hard to code.
Thanks a lot!

Hi again, I've just seen this, http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=36662#p49463
So, this would be the place?, https://sourceforge.net/p/pcmanfm/featu ... rce=navbar
Thanks a lot!
