But good idea about something there if user is not using/browsing hdd? Maybe MRU archives? Or output from favorite archives window? @Alpha-Testers - i know @Brian-Gregory is using classic with folders, maybe he can give some input?
How will this work with your proposal here?
1st tab on opening with no arguments: Files and folders/folder pane shows “My PC”
1st tab on opening with archive: Archive content/folder pane shows archive folder structure
opening an archive will open a new tab, folder pane shows archive folder structure
opening a new tab by (+) will show MRU list/Favorites?
On the first guess, I would vote for “Favorites” to fill the empty pane :-)
Probably, that will make it pretty confusing for the standard user…
But the pane should never be empty. That is confusing, too.
Maybe restricting browsing “My PC” to explorer mode and using folder pane in archive mode consequently for Favorites/MRU and for archive folder structures, in case an archive is open, is smarter.
both folder panel and browsing hdd in archive mode are optional features, default is that there is no folder panel and there is no hdd browsing in archive mode.
So i dont think it will be too crazy for pro users… and it is useful for sure.
