caja: Open specific directories in tabs.
$ caja --tabs ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---}
try on your machine

This command is used to open multiple directories in the Caja file manager with separate tabs.

Here's the breakdown of each component:

  • caja: This is the command to launch Caja, the file manager for the MATE desktop environment.
  • --tabs: This option tells Caja to open the directories in separate tabs instead of separate windows.
  • ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---}: This is a placeholder representing the list of directory paths you want to open. You would replace each path-to-directory with the actual paths of the directories you want to open. Separate multiple paths with spaces.

For example, if you want to open two directories named "Documents" and "Pictures", the command would look like this:

caja --tabs ~/Documents ~/Pictures

This would open the "Documents" directory and the "Pictures" directory as separate tabs in the Caja file manager.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
