Questions About Boxed Branches and Mini Tree List Management
Posted: 09 Feb 2018 09:08
I've been using XYplorer for a couple of months, and I'm curious about what these features do and how they are used, but I haven't found a detailed explanation in the help file or FAQ. I would appreciate a quick explanation or advice about:
1) Favorites > Toggle Boxed Branch - what is a boxed branch and what is it used for?
When I select this menu item, the status bar indicates "box set: [foldername]", but I'm not sure what that means, and I don't know how it affects the tree or lister.
2) Tools > List Management > Mini Tree... - I'm confused about how this feature is supposed to work. I would like to add a folder like Program Files or my cloud drive to the "first level" of the Mini Tree for quick access, so I don't have to navigate through the <C:\> drive or my user directory to get there.
When I open the Mini Tree list, it shows all of the "quick access" locations in my Mini Tree (i.e., locations displayed in the first level under "This PC" including Links, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and all of my drives). When I add a folder to this list, XYplorer immediately navigates to the listed folder under the appropriate "quick access" location in the Mini Tree (e.g., as a subfolder of my <C:\> drive, or a subfolder under Documents, or a subfolder of my user directory). The folder I entered never appears on the first level as a quick access location, and the folder disappears from the list when I navigate away to another drive or quick access folder. How do I add a folder to this first level of the Mini Tree so that it is permanently displayed for quick access?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
