Not to select any items by default (automatically)

[AugerJ]

Hello.
I'm using XYplorer 14.60.0100 (because it's not flat yet).
When opening a folder, XYplorer automatically selects one of it's items.
How can I stop it from doing this?
I don't want it to select anything by itself (or by default).

P. S.
It's not about the last used subfolder.

Removing any selection is easy but I can't unfocus an item (which is possible when ::sel; is executed from the address bar...)

Code: Select all

<path to xyplorer.exe> /script="::sel;"

I put
::sel;
in the address bar, press Enter — and nothing happens. And there's no Quick Scripting to enable in Preferences, just Scripting (enabled).

Code: Select all

<path to xyplorer.exe> /script="::sel;"

Scripting - Try Script

C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe /script="::sel;"

Error:
Overflow 0\0

Where did I go wrong?

You did select at least one file before (so it was highlighted)?

C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe /script="::sel;"

This is not executed in XYplorer as a script^^

This is how XY should be started

E.g.:
- Exit XY
- Open a command prompt

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::sel;"

Or create a link (.lnk) file to your XYplorer.exe, right click that, "Properties"
and put the whole thing into the "Target" line.

Thanks. I guess I didn't make myself clear.
I open (or start or run) XYplorer.
Then, within it, I open a folder or a drive — and XYplorer automatically selects one of the files or subfolders.
What I want is that I open a folder (from within XYplorer) — and everything is unselected.

Does it help if you uncheck:
Menu - Tools - Configuration... - General - Tree and List - [ ] Select last used subfolder?

[AugerJ]

It doesn't.
I assigned a couple of shortcuts on
Edit - Select - Deselect All
I think I'll get used to this 'workaround'.
Thanks anyway.

Interesting. In a fresh installation of that version and with that setting unchecked there isn't any file / folder preselected (and therefore highlighted).

The only thing that happens is that the first item in the list for each folder is focused...

Ok, I guess, I found it )
Details view.
One click on the icon goes for double click on the name.
When I don't click on the folder icon, then nothing is selected in that folder when it's opened.
So, the way is — double (or middle) click )
