Manual Sorting lost when pane is not active

if I or some app creates a file on the Desktop, while pane is not active, Manual Sorting gets lost.

Recent bug, version 22.70.0019 (2022-01-19) works. So this is where it broke:

Code: Select all

v22.70.0021 - 2022-01-20 12:16
    + MDBU | Remember Position: Now it is optional and off by default. Currently 
      it can be enabled only by a tweak (UI setting will come later):
        MDBURememberPosition=1
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Extra fields: 
      Now "Shortcut Target" shows any existing command line switches in the 
      tooltip.
    + Meta Tab: Also here the Shortcut Target info now shows any existing 
      command line switches.
    ! Resolving Shortcuts: A long-standing issue with bitness-dependent shortcut 
      targets could probably be fixed. I found a way to determine whether an 
      alleged "C:\Program Files (x86)\" should rather be "C:\Program Files\": I 
      simply check which of the targets actually exist. In many real world cases 
      this will make it return the correct target.
    + Thumbnails Cache: When a list is completely empty but a pair of thumbnail 
      cache files for it still exists (for images that are not here anymore) 
      calling "View | Caches | Refresh Thumbnails" (only possible in a view with 
      thumbnails) will now permanently delete those thumbnail cache files.

Was the other pane updated at all in 22.70.0019?

No, I activated it and hit F5 and manual sorting was preserved.

I thought so. The fact that is was not updated was the original bug that I fixed on 2022-01-20 (not mentioned in change log). Now the manual sort order apparently gets lost somewhere. I'll look into this...

Another one: Move to Other Pane command and Manual Sort is lost.

EDIT: Same with drag and drop while Manual Sort is disabled.

Fixed.
I will continue to test this feature, it's unique and useful IMO. Suprised that others are not using it though. Or maybe they are using it in a different way.
