A little confused about the Mini Tree

[cyquil]

Hi,

I've been using XY for a month now and have just bought it.

Can anyone explain to me what the purpose of the Mini Tree is...?

I thought it was hiding unwanted folders. Say my documents folder has about 20 folders in it -- I excluded 15 of them, keeping only the 5 I use on a regular basis. Thought it was great.

But then they all came back. And sometimes I only see one or two folders there.

Super confused about what's going on.

Any advice here on what I'm doing wrong? Or what this feature actually does?

Cheers

I see... that makes sense.

Is there a way to stop it from showing or hiding folders based on what I use? I.E., just going off what I have and haven't excluded from it?

No, you can't set exclusions, but as mentioned in that link you can re-load your favorite minitree with the help of scripting in for instance 1 button press etc. although I think for what you're describing the catalog may suit you more, check it out.

Just add the locations you want, no exclusions needed.

Oh awesome, thanks! That sounds great.

Appreciate the help.

You can lock the Mini Tree. That way, no folder will be added to it, even if you browse in this folder.
