Hi. When I hover over a video or music file QTT tells me that I must use Windows Media Player. Can I set another MEDIA player as a setting, and how to do it. I did not find.
Hi, welcome the bug is back in 2023.year in QTabBar v1043. How to solve it? Only with reinstal older version?
I have a windows 10 and I had ran into the same issue. What I did was to open the view tab in file explorer, open the dropdown window below "Options", check QTTabBar.
I've tested this behavior a little and there are steps to reproduce this bug. 1. Search "query" in some folder (it's enough to type any character); 2. Delete your query in search field by backspace or "x" button / close tab; 3. Press "Maximize" or "Minimize" windows control button / explorer button on taskbar; After this your current tab will automatically search your "query" from step 1 in your current location. Qttabbar ver. 2048 beta 2

any update to this?
searching in window file explorer with numpad is extremely convenient, but with qttabar preview turned on it also turns on the sizing hotkey of preview picture (numpad 9 and 7 for up/down sizing) which prevent use of numpad to search in explorer. searching with regular numbering key on top of keyboard is much slower and inefficient, how can the numpad hotkey for qttabar preview be disabled?
I have been googling around, and the only directions I can find for this are like 10 years old. Basically, when a new window is about to open for one reason or another, I just want it to open in a new tab. How do I do this?
Re, few minutes later, I found ! I leave that here for someone that can help.
Hi, i'd like to have in the action bar, a button that just paste a file (the same always) in the current folder. Ex : my file is x:\file.bat, and if I open the folder d:\example, I would like to click that button to paste file.bat in it....i don't know if it's clear...any help ? thanx.
Been using QtTabBar from http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/ for some years on Win7 and Win10. I rebuilt my PC to use Win11 (clean install, not an upgrade), and tried that extension, but it's pretty buggy. In all fairness, it is marked as beta, so can't expect too much yet. However, there doesn't seem to have been any activity there for a year or so, and the author didn't reply to an email, so it looks abandoned. The one major problem it has is that it ignores the fact that File Explorer itself now supports...
Subject says it all. Works fine for x264, but x265/HEVC fails, with error 0xC00D109B. The error only appears for a moment, and then the preview begins with only the sound playing, which makes it seem pretty clear that the software just isn't compatible with x265 yet. Could this be added? Since you already have an option for hardware acceleration it shouldn't be a big deal, especially since it's only an optional toggle, right? I've tried on both 8bit and 10bit x265, both fail. Oh, and literally while...
-Nevermind, you have to shift click on 'name' and not 'date modified'.
Normally, it allows 'sort by modified' to force folders to still display at the top. I use this a lot.
Goto to Options on the View tab and untick 'Extra view (bottom)' option. Took me a while to figure this out.
I am using Window 11 and I can't seems to close File explorer by clicking close button while alt tabbing. How do i fix that? I tried Qttabar on other PCs or laptops and they have the same problems too.
I accidentally clicked 'Open in other view,' and it's driving me insane how to reset explorer view to 'normal' - how do you do it?
Couldn't get this to work. Instead I went with FastStone Image Viewer for an image manager and Resonic Player for a sample manager.
I have previews showing for some images and text files, but nothing for any audio or video file of any format or extension. Windows Media Player is installed - I even trying setting it as the default for a file extension, but it still doesn't work.
Is there a way to restore my (previously saved) configuration .xml file so that QTBar uses it?
It is just as odd as the title reads. I have 4 tabs open with different drives/foders. In one, I did a search for "tripod" in File Explorer's upper-right search field. I then hit the "x" in the search field to end the search and hit "back" to go to the previous folder. I moved onto the next task and minimized the window. When I minimized it, it popped right back up from the taskbar and the current tab went into a search for "tripod". If I switch to a different tab and minimize, it will pop back up...
I still can't break myself from the habit of clicking there. It's already been a thing for so many years and suddenly my reflexes for recycling bin are thwarted. I am giving it another week or so but likely, if I can't get rid of these specific menu options, I'll likely uninstall and try a new tab solution. shrug
I am using the latest version of the program. I have noticed that sometimes when I highlight a file and press "del", I have to hit it a second time as nothing happens. It seems to be at random as other times I can delete on the first attempt.
Hello and thanks a lot for this cool tool/extension and all support! I have been partly using it since over a decade - and the newest version is really nice. I'm mostly only using the Tabbar and style it myself. The request I have since forever is: An option to DISABLE the position change of the Tab title and relevant icons (locked, close) between ACTIVE and INACTIVE state --- keeping things aligned. (Inactive titles move downwards, their icons move even further down... looking broken) In the settings...
Not only the forum seems dead, the developer himself doesn't seem active with this application anymore. There is no activity on the original website, nor much at the 'official' forum, and he doesn't respond to any questions or suggestions on fora that are active regarding QTTabbar either. In the meantime I have ran into some other issues and annoyances with QTTabbar, and since there is no sign of life on any further development I have decided not to put any more time and effort in it and abandoned...
Is this even possible? I don't use "other view" for anything and have no use for it. It just doesn't do anything for my own habits and patterns behind a computer. However, certain icons like the Recycling bin, I keep opening things up in other view since it messes with my reflexes. Usually, when you right-click on the recycling bin, the second option is to empty it. Now the second option is "Open in other view" and my reflexes keep clicking on that instead of the (now) fourth option down, which is...
Hi, friend. It seems that this forum is dead :(. Do you know how to use the program? I'm new. I have two doubts Can a new tab be created to open a new tab in a specific directory instead of asking which folder I want to open? for example: on this computer Can you change the create new tab icon? I found an .exe where you can change the close tab icon and tab colors, but I don't see an option to change the create new tab icon. I hope you can help me.

New user/tester here. This app seems very nice, and a lot of thought and effort seems to have been put into it. So a big thank you and much respect for the developer! I am running into a serious issue though. After having made some tweaks to get things to my liking, I now find that I can not close a window anymore by clicking on the close icon top right. The close icon will only flash once or twice, but the window will stay open. Obviously this would be a deal breaker, but before I give up on this...
By the way, the I checked both versions I am using is "QTTabBar ver 1043" and "ver 2048 Beta 2" as of 2022 February 06.

Hello, I looked through the options menu in an attempt to disable this feature when you double left click on the background, it goes up a level of folders. I want to configure it such that it doesn't happen at all such that if I do double click it does nothing. I already have mouse controls to move between levels in tab history and I don't want to get confused with this feature. I've checked an older post about this but when I go to Options > Tab > "When background double clicked" always executes...
Gosh, how stupid can one be! The option I asked for is placed rather prominent at the <options> tab and then on the <general> tab. </general></options> See attachment . . . !
Hi, I am about to receive a new computer, is there an option to backup settings and created folder groups to transfer them to the new computer. I am working constantly with this extension for Windows explorer and have created several groups. I hate the idea to do this all again. Any support will be appreciated. Thank you in advance for the cooperation. Bye for now Falk
Can anyone help? Thank you!
Hi - Is there a way in QTTabBar to change the default mouse drag and drop from copy to move? I would like to be able to simply move a file from one folder to another with a drag and drop (in the same tab) instead of copy. Thank you for the help! Jim
It's working again after a reboot. I have no idea what caused it in the first place.
I'm no longer able to open folders by clicking on them. In events, both double click and enter key are set to none. Both settings are disabled so I'm not able to do anything about it. Please help!!!
Thanks, Pedro! I found some groups and delete them. Also, I found an option "Start-up Group". If I will use groups, I will check not to use this option. But, may be problem was in this file: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\QTTabBar Desktop Extension StartUp.QTTabGroup I delete it, may be it will help.
Hi guys Try this: -Disasociate the extension .QTTabGroup from any text editor that might be configured by default. -Search on QTTabBar Options and see if it looks like the ones I attached (I see some files opening/closing when I restart, but I have many scripts so I could't catch exactly what opened which interface) - As the file states, that option is needed to load the QTTabBar at startup, disabling it from doing (start whith windows) might solve the problem. (But you'll have to manually start...
Hi! Did you find any decision? I've updated Win7 to Win10 and start getting this message.

I truly would be gracious if somebody would be kind to direct me the link to download/install? In addition, can someone please provide me with step-by-step c on how to activate QQTabBar on File Explorer in Windows 11? as you may know, File Explorer no longer has the toolbar across the top. Therefore, I do not know how to activate QQTabBar once it's downloaded/installed on my PC I have spent 2-entire days searching through countless websites & watching countless videos pertaining to this subject,...

You know that quick button that lets you make a quick command prompt that automatically CD's into the directory that you're in? I use it a lot. Especially with FFMPEG. But recently I've started using PowerShell a lot more. Is there any way to replace the shortcut to start PowerShell and CD into the directory that you're in, similar to the command prompt shortcut? Thanks.
It was working before but now after latest Windows update, even I uninstall and install the latest BETA, still no QTtab on my explorer :-( Just to let you know. Dont know if anyone else sees this issue. I really used QTTab alot! David
Hi Since installing QTTabBar on my Windows 10 machine I have a text file that keeps opening whenever I restart the computer. The file contains the following text... **QTTabBar Desktop Extension StartUp** This file is for loading dlls at Shell start up, required to extend Desktop. I've deleted this file from startup several times but it keeps reappearing! How can I stop this from happening, it's driving me nuts! Thanks in advance Steve H-B
I am having the same problem now, today. QTTabbar is not navigating to the sd card location, though I can see the sd card in windows explorer My PC
I am having the same issue. Did you manage to fix it?
I have the same problem.
Network paths starting from double backslash "\\" once opened in default windows are cached. Switching from one to another doesn't take time. While with QTTabbar, every time I switch from one tab to another, it takes time in opening. To reproduce the issue and be able to make out difference, try to use network path which is slow. The one I used is in another country from India which looks something like this- \\israelServer\abc\def and \\israelServer\xyz\uvw PS: Unfortunately the only reason I uninstalled...

New here, but today, QTTabBar no longer works in Windows 10 or 8.1 I remember that it worked on Windows 10 before but now, it gave me an error.. how'd that happen? did something changed or what?
ptgiang would you please be more detailed on how I can find "Folder/Shell/(Default)=open"?
As the title say, QTTabBar is able to adapt with the dark theme of Windows, but this is an exception: Can you fix this please? Thank you!

Been running 1038 for years on Windows 10. Just installed 1042 and loaded exactly the same configuration. I get error notification (sound) when I click either of two buttons: Advanced command: Import | file path and name Advanced command: Show Toolbar | SecondViewBar | !%#1% As said, I get error sound but the command works, and my QTTabBarException log (on Desktop) gets bigger and bigger. All other buttons (File & Folder) work ok. So maybe it's something to do with the Advanced command ??? If I revert...

This sometimes happens when I connect my android phone to my PC. When Windows automatically opens the window to my phone, 1 out of 3 times I get this error.

Just installed QTTabBar. (I've been meaning to for quite some time). The only problem I'm having now is auto refresh seems to be broken. I have to manually refresh. I've done a good bit of searching, both this forum and Google, but to no avail. Any fix or help would be much appreciated!
Hey Lawrence, First, it seems this project is no longer in development, but I still have have it working in windows 10. To answer your question though, there is not a plus (+) button, but you can open a new tab by just double clicking on the tab bar (not a tab itself, but the empty tab bar space), this will make a copy of the current tab you have focused at the time. I hope this helps. I signed up here just to answer your question, even though it is 8 month later. -Smugger

ok.. try this for example create some tabs and then lock each of it and try to close the explore by holding the ( shift ) and click the close. then try to open any folder you will get to see it is saved
I lock some tabs and lock the tab bar. Then I reboot and they've all gone! I would like to define a set of tabs and always have them showing, even after a reboot. Is this possible now? Am I missing something? Regards
Use the updated version by the original author at http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/
Maybe I'm blind (no offence), but I cannot find a way to change color of the tabs... There is one for bar background, but with tabs all I can recolor is its text... Is there a way to do it? I'm asking coz it looks bad with dark Win10 theme...
Hello, I had heard that this program had a plus sign to add a new tab, but do not see one. I was expecting to see a plus sign to the right of the current tab, like web browsers do. Would this be possible or has this been decided against for reasons I'm not aware? Thank you! Larry

You add it from the command buttons; idk, I customize my stuff a lot for how I want to interact with them.
thank you for the reply. So where do i find this Blue film strip with a dropdown arrow next to it?
I was having this problem too but I recalled it working at one time, when I first installed this version. I remember not wanted videos playing to make things faster but then later I wanted to see them but NONE of the settings would get it back. I found what happened and why it wasn't working anymore, and hopefully it's your problem too: So, there's this Blue Film strip with a dropdown arrow next to it, with a list of other UI buttons. If you click this button, you can enable/disable previewing, and...

hello guys, so when using the qttabbar's flyout button (the downward arrow beside each folder) we can see the preview of the images in the flyout tree. Is it possible to see the video thumbnail of .mp4 videos in the same manner?
(also in the new dark mode feature of the Windows 10, both tab colors and folder names are white so the name is not visible at all. but this is a different issue.)
Hi, I'm not sure if this is clear what is bothering me, I love QTTabBar in general, but as soon as I have installed it, when I change selected items using my keyboard arrow keys(up & down), when I reach the bottom, it returns back to the top most item. Now it's driving me crazy because I usually have folders with many files and I navigate through them fast to find something but this jump is a total distraction. Please let me know if there's a way to get rid of this behavior. I've searched the settings...

Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere - couldn't find it... If I use the Group (Star) button to open a favourite folder, it always opens an additional tab.

Hi! I downloaded all available plugins and tried them to add into QTabBar - failed, no one plugin was shown in list. First time I browsed for folders with DLLs and added them all at once, after failure one-by-one and always not shown. Then I tried to drag'n'drop them, again - no one shown. I was searching manual and did all steps like in manual, again failed. Can anybody help me how to add plugins into QTabBar? Thank you for all. Miro
Hi! I have installed QTabBar combined with Clover on Windows 10.1803 Pro x64. My problem is that I positioned views and bars, When I re-open Explorer positions are always repositioned and it's main problem. Other problem is also bars positions are always repositioned and have hidden parts with double >. This make me crazy - by this way I cannot work.
