Finder Tabs Problem

Hey guys,

I'm having a 'problem' with the finder tabs from Mavericks.

So my understanding of tabs is like tabs in Safari, right?
Ex: When a Safari window is opened and you open a hyperlink from ex Mail app -> Safari will create a new tab and open the website from the hyperlink.

Can the finder tabs work in the same order as safari's? Cause atm it's not doing that on my mac. For ex when i'm in 'Documents' folder and I click on a new folder that's located on my desktop this new folder opens in a new window. I would like to have it opened in the already existing 'Documents' window.

(oh and the box in preferences is on 'open maps in tabs instead of window')

Hope you understand my trouble? :) if not let me know ^^

Thanks in advance!

But in another thread you said xtrafinder is a broken app.

Because it wasn't working in beta months ago. Been fine since like 0.17.2 (although it still does have a few settings that don't work in Mavericks).

Just Cmd-double click on any folder to have it automatically opened in a new tab...

In addition to being an extra hassle you can't do that from Apps which open a new Finder window like opening a Safari download or mounting a DMG.

You don't understand the 'problem' ;-)

Gonna try out that cmd!

Edit:
The cmd-double click isn't working over here... Doesn't do a thing, not even open the folder that i'm clicking on :/

Quick Tip for those that dont know
If you press CMD+SHIFT+T in the finder it displays the tab bar all the time, even on finder windows with only one tab. Useful when your manually merging finder windows by dragging
 
Been having a ton of problems with XtraFinder recently. I would say download at your own risk. Finder would keep on bugging out and would restart every 10 seconds.

Just tested and it works here - are you sure you are DOUBLE-CLICKING on the desired folder while pressing cmd?

Yeah :/ hold cmd and click two times with the trackpad... Tap or click, both don't work here.
