Create a new folder

I have the file list set up to not show folders. When I add a new
folder, it appears in the file list, where I name it. Would it be
possible to have the newly created folder naming done in the tree when
folders are hidden in the file list?

Hi and welcome to XYplorer club!

You can do that by right-clicking a folder in the tree and choosing "Create new subfolder here".

I am more of a keyboard guy, so I use the keyboard hotkey to add a folder. The new folder is displayed in the file pane even if the focus was on the tree.

Yep, that's obviously strange. I'll check if that strangeness has any deeper reason, else I will change it as you want it.

Code: Select all

    * Menu Edit | New | New Folder: Now, the rename box is opened in 
      Tree when the focus was on Tree when the command was triggered by 
      keyboard. Before, the rename box was always opened in List when the 
      command was triggered by keyboard.

Ok, so does that work ? Cause right now if I'm on List but with folders hidden, and press Ctrl+N (Edit|New|New Folder) then it's happening on List still.
And if the focus was on Tree, well, it's happening on List anyway !

Am I missing something ?

Whoops, I should have taken this out of the history. It was actually overwritten on the same day by this change:

Code: Select all

    + CKS | Miscellaneous | Tree: Added command "Create New Subfolder 
      Here". Creates new folder under the current Tree folder, and opens 
      rename box in Tree.
      Note: This command is featured in the Tree items' context menu 
      since long. Before, the keyboard shortcut for New Folder (Ctrl+N) 
      was displayed here, but that was not correct because the commands 
      are not the same: "New Folder" opens the rename box in the List, 
      whereas "Create New Subfolder Here" opens it in the Tree.
