Work with tabs

Each pane has its own row of tabs. A tab keeps its folder, cursor, and marked items while you work in another tab. MeiFiles remembers your tabs between launches.

Open and close tabs#

You can also click + at the end of the tab row, click a tab to show it, or click the × on a tab to close it.

Note: When a pane has only one tab, ⌘W closes the window.

Rename a tab#

A tab shows the name of its folder. You can give it your own name.

1. Double-click the tab, or Control-click it and choose Rename Tab.
2. Type a name, then press Return. Press Esc to keep the old name.

The name stays when you open other folders in the tab. To show the folder name again, Control-click the tab and choose Use Folder Name.

Lock a tab#

A locked tab stays in its folder. Use it for a folder you return to often.

1. Control-click the tab.
2. Choose Lock Tab.

A lock icon appears on the tab. To open other folders, choose Unlock Tab, or open a new tab.

Move a tab to a new window#

1. Control-click the tab.
2. Choose Detach to New Window.

You can also choose Panel > Detach Tab for the current tab. A pane must have at least two tabs.
