Favorites "Open In" Behavior Question

I'm not sure if there's another setting I need to change, but the "Open In" field for all my favorites is not working.
I've set all of my favorites to Open In: New Tab (or Tabs for Active/Inactive double favorites), but none of them do- they all open in the existing tab(s).

As I'm typing this the only thing I can think of is that I've been migrating my FreeCommander settings for a while from job to job, PC to PC- so I suppose it's conceivable that my favorites predate the introduction of the Open In field.
Or, I'm Just Doing It Wrong, which is usually par for the course.

Thanks!

It appears that this option currently only works via the tree view.

Ok, that's good to know re the tree- I always have 2 sets of tabs and 2 folder trees showing so I never tried that; and I have to kinda contort my hand weird to input Ctrl-click, so I hadn't tried that one either - but that's great!

Thanks for that!
