Switching to the Tools tab automatically

Taken from this post : http://bexplorer.codeplex.com/workitem/18108
But I thought I would be better to create a new issue.

Could there also be an option (a checkbox in File tab > Options for example) to automatically display the Tools tab, if one is avaivable ?
 
Example : You have no file selected and your current tab is Home.
Then you select a BMP image, the Image Tools tab appears and is automatically activated.

Oh, do you mean that when you select an image, it automatically switches over to the Images Tools tab? That is an interesting idea... And definitely do-able. I can work on that tonight.

Sorry, I totally forgot about that. But yes, it is better to put new issues in their own issue thingie. :)

I will work on this. I totally forgot about doing this!

I have decided to take this idea and make it contextual tab-specific, meaning that you can enable it for, say, the Image Tools tab and the Archive Tools tab, but leave it disabled for the Application Tools tab and the Folder Tools tab.

When this feature is implemented, I will have the default be to switch to the Image Tools tab or the Archive Tools tab when either one is available, and have it not switch to other tabs.
