Auto Rebuild tree option

[admin]

Tools - Folder Options - View
If you check "Display simple folder view in Explorer's Folders list" it should collapse the previous node when you browse a diferent folder

I did that but it does not.

So, I take it that Explorer infact can not do this trick?

So we don't have a role model. Now, how's the experience with the current state of auto-optimize? Does it work for you? (Only answer if you continuously used the feature over the last days.)

In my work machine, I have Windows XP and Explorer in fact collapses the previous node.

Anyway, I have been using ATO lately and I only miss it when using the Go to, Favorite Folders/Files and the Catalog that in my opinion should also apply the ATO

explorer does this here and it is set this way for years.
I'm glad you did it also in xy

But why doesn't mine?
Well, anyway. Let's close this one.

Yes, I am really using this functionality and, in my mind, whenever another node gets expanded the previous one stops being current and the newly expanded one becomes current, so the previous one should collapse.

But that's not true. By clicking the +-icon you can expand nodes without making them current.

I have found a way to click the +- icon and make a node current. It's easy, all you have to do is to make a folder within that branch of the tree current and then collapse the top node. For example, navigate to C:\ --> Program Files and make PF current. Now collapse the entire tree of C:\ and top level of C:\ would become current. Yes, that's native behaviour that's present in WE too but you didn't make C:\ current manually as such

Yes, that's an implied change of selection, since nodes inside collapsed branches should not be selected.
