Links folder doesn't show up

Post by jcmn »

Well

Since one day I deleted Links folder from the tree it didn't show up again regardless the fact I have it turned on in configuration - Tree and list - Show Links folder.

What can I do to have it again in the Tree ?

Add "Links" to the top of the Mini Tree (assuming you use the Mini Tree) in Tools | List Management | Mini Tree...

The Links folder is again in the Mini Tree but it is not in the beginning, it follows the natural system Tree order.

All the other folders of the Mini Tree also are in natural system order they are not in the order tehy appear in the List management.

Is this OK? Or can be changed?

The Mini Tree definition works like this:
- the top node is the current node
- all nodes below should be in the natural tree order

This is not the case at your end? :?

Uhm, this is totally crazy. :veryconfused:

Could post the following screenshots, please:

- Your Tree
- Your Mini Tree listing in Tools | List Management | Mini Tree...
- Your Configuration page Configuration | Tree and List

I think what's being questioned is actually the order shown in the mini tree vs that in the List Management | Mini Tree.. dialog.

And I do not believe that the List Management dialog's order has any bearing on anything.

Yes. It reflects the state of the Mini Tree when you open it, but it does not work the other way round: you cannot modify the order of nodes in the tree.

Thanks, looks okay so far.

Now, in Tools | List Management | Mini Tree... you press the New button and call the new item "Links" (without the quotes). Now you OK the dialog. You should have Links now in the Mini Tree.

Links is already in the Tree.

Now these issues takes me to another question:

Whenever I browse folders they appear in the MiniTree, but I don't want they show up in the MiniTree, I want to have only those that I have in the List management, or that I define as my favorites. Is this possible, to avoid new folders to appear? Or do I have to define a Favorite MiniTree to come back to my initial MiniTree?

After curating your MiniTree enable View | Lock Tree.

And can I even with locked tree add new folders at the MiniTree management? Or do i have to Unlock?

Yes, you can add paths to the MiniTree without unlocking the tree.
