Default workspace #222

Open tcoulon opened 6 years ago

tcoulon commented 6 years ago

Sorry if this has already been asked, can't find a search in "issues". Just discovered Polo, it's the first time I see a really good file manager (still using konqueror from KDE 3/ Trinity as all others are crap). Polo looks it could replace it. I wish, however, that it would be possible to set a default workspace. I use dualpane and I don't see the piont of starting with the two panes on home. Thanks for developping!

If you enable the "Save session" option in Settings, it will reload your last workspace on startup. Opening all panes on the home folder helps in reducing the startup time, since only a single folder needs to be queried.

First thank you for your answer.

I had seen that option, but it does not what I wish. I wish to always have the same starting point.

If I turn on "Save session", then next time I start where I stopped last time. In that case it can just as well be home (it's actually better). What I'd want is one pane on home and the other on /data, and not a system that remembers where I was last time when I closed the file manager.

Konqueror does that (not the KDE 4/5 version, however).
