When opening a directory that is already opened on your current tab, the application should not try to open it again
See original GitHub issueWhat’s the Problem?
When opening a directory that is already opened on your current tab, the application should not try to open it again
Solution/Idea
When the current tab shows for example the Documents
folder from the Favorites
section, and you are trying to open the same path on the current tab, but now by clicking on the Documents
tab from another section, for example Libraries
, the tab refreshes and is trying to open the path without any need as it’s already opened.
So what I am proposing is that the application will check if the newly opened directory is the same as the one that is currently opened in the current tab (on the default settings it’s opening the directory in the same tab), and if it does. don’t do anything 😃

Thanks a lot for helping us understand the issue, I’m gonna close this one as the behavior is “correct”, it reloads as library and favorite sidebar items point to two different things. We’ll investigate on why explorer & files show different contents for the documents library.
@gave92 ,
For some reason my
Documents
library from the Explorer only showing files fromC:\Users\XXX\Documents
, and I don’t remember changing anything from my side on the Explorer settings…I don’t think I can replicate this anywhere else, as I can’t pin the same directory two times anywhere.
Looks like if I pin a directory to
Favorites
, it knows not to open it again when clicking on it in theFavorites
sidebar without reloading it, so this issue seems to be specifically tied to the case ofLibraries
vsFavorites
😃
