Solved QTTabBar


I wish I had a similar app with which I could try to replicate your issue!
You probably do. If you open Task Manager you can open Chrome and other applications from there. I just realized though that when we do this via Task Manager, all the links open in NEW TABS! Exactly what I want to happen when I am using MO2.

Ah! Got ya! (y)
It seems if I invoke an action within the Win32 environment, it will open in a new QT Tab...,

... something from the Start Menu, for example, will open in a new window!!! 🤷‍♂️

I have opened up a ticket for this at MO2 on Github. Do you think its something that can be fixed within the code of the application, or something in windows?

The menu in your screenshot of Post #175 looks very exclusive to the application, I would guess it would have to be fixed within the application.

Have you tried any Shift/Right Click, or Middle-click, etc.?

Tried various click with shift option, but nothing there. For what its worth, I asked on Reddit too about this and here's what someone had to say:
What you are describing could be done from an IShellExecuteHook implementation and overriding the default behavior and returning S_FALSE. But I think the IShellExecuteHook interface is disabled since >= Vista and you would need to set the EnableShellExecuteHooks policy to enable it.
Now this is all beyond me, but you Edwin might make some sense of this. Is this something that would be helpful?

Meh..., it's way over my pay grade!
If something does open in a new window, which is rare, I'll just Tab Drag it, and the new window closes! 🤷‍♂️

This was a workaround that was mentioned in an other forum I asked about this, however my QTTabBar doesn't do this. It just moves the tab into the new window.

I saw that...

What version are you using...?

Leaving both windows open???
I am using QTTabBar version 1038. When I drag a tab from one window to another, both windows remain open, but the tab is successfully moved.

Here's another weird thing:
If I open a file or location from a UWP source, the accent color is rendered in the default blue:

... if I open the same from within the Win32 environment, my prescribed accent color is rendered!!! 🤷‍♂️
