I don't think this is possible (yet)... Option "Expand destination node on Tree" doesn't apply for click on Tree (which I like), maybe an INI Tweak could help here... but I don't think there is one as of now.ryanagler wrote:How can I make XY behave like Explorer, whereas a single-click on a folder in the tree automatically expands its immediate subfolders? I'm not so worried about collapsing them back like Explorer does (in fact, id rather not have them auto-collapse), but the single-click auto-expand is a must. Any ideas?
No, for two reasons: A.) it is much more tedious to have to aim for the plus when you want to navigate fast, and B.) clicking on the plus does not cause the folders' contents to appear in the right-hand list pane.PeterH wrote:Isn't it enough to click the + in front of the folder?
WE in XP default behavior is to expand on single click. Of course it is possible to achieve the same end result through your suggestions, but in terms of productivity and reducing the clicks required to achieve a certain task auto-expand is preferable for someone who has to navigate a myriad of files and directories every day. Often it is the case where my decision to keep drilling down on subfolders depends on if i see a certain file in the current folder in the right-hand list pane.PeterH wrote: Difference: the folder will not be selected. But if I want to select the folder I click it, if I want to expand it I don't want / don't need to select it.
(And I think, default in WE ist to expand on DoubleClick or also on clicking + ?)
Okay, I see your point. If the folder is already expanded, what happens? Nothing, right?ryanagler wrote:No, for two reasons: A.) it is much more tedious to have to aim for the plus when you want to navigate fast, and B.) clicking on the plus does not cause the folders' contents to appear in the right-hand list pane.PeterH wrote:Isn't it enough to click the + in front of the folder?

Nothing in the tree, correct! However, if a folder in the tree does not have the focus but is already expanded (i.e. its immediate subfolders are visible below it in the tree and it has a minus sign next to it), when you click on that folder in the tree so that it recieves focus nothing should happen in the tree, but the right-hand list pane should update to show the folders contents.admin wrote:Okay, I see your point.

Sure. I'll add an option to auto-expand tree nodes on click.ryanagler wrote:Nothing in the tree, correct!
