How to Define a 'TAB' and have it Keep its contents

It is really nice that the tabs come back when you shutdown then start up MM.

But I have not found a way to have the tabs keep its current content.

For example, I want the first tab to be Music, the second tab to be Samsung G3/Music and the third tab to be Samsung G3/Playlist.

If by accident I go into the tree and click on Artists ... POW! my original tab contents becomes Artists.

Is there any way to define a tab as 'Music' and then IF i click on the tree .. something else .. it either opens a new tab or simply grays the current tab and then shows the contents of the tree folder I clicked?

Sure I am just missing this somewhere.

Thanks

Nope, nothing like that exists yet. Not possible. Good idea for the wish list, I would find that useful as well.

Original post Here

Basically I want to be able to 'define' a tab as being "music" or "Samsung G3/Music" or ... and then IF i click on the tree item 'artist' it doesn't overwrite the defined contents of the tab. Either create a new tab auto-magically OR gray the tab and just show contents of tree item.

Sad nobody else is voting for this. I really get tired of the tabs just changing because i wanted to look at something else :(

I'm sure you already know, but just in case you don't, you can middle click on items in the tree to open them in a new tab.

Actually no .. i didn't know that. That is cool. Seldom click the mouse wheel :). It is odd, after trying it, that you don't get taken to that 'tab'. It just creates a new tab.

But again, thanks for that. It is amazing how many options, tricks etc there are in MM.

Sorry but how do I add my vote to this essential requirement.

Thanks for that great tip.
No I didn't know that either.
And it works perfectly.

Like other users I require my first three tabs to be constant, yet they cannot be held/saved which means that they are for ever changing when I click the tree.

I wonder what else the mouse wheel click will achieve...
