Sliding Tree.

Post by SkyFrontier »

A feature I miss the most in XYplorer (besides the dual tree) is the sliding of the tree. When I have to move files around from list to tree it's just impossible since I can't actually see where I'm going to most of the times - I can move the files vertically, right, but when it comes to arrange the tree horizontally without releasing the rich mouse button (dragging the file) just to see a target location, or open a closed folder I need to put the selected file and that is out of visual range (and out current XY horizontal scrolling capabilities), it's a no go. Can this be revised, please?

Easy way to test that: drag a file from list to tree. Take a folder with several subfolders on it and keep opening then to the last level. XY will not arrange the tree so we can see which folder the file will go.

SkyFrontier, take a walk around the block once in a while. You wrote about 50 posts in 2 days... :)

Anyway, I added this, thanks for reminding me.

Thanks for reminding me! :mrgreen:
I have been taking notes on all of those suggestions and had to post them at some point in the time, right? (Or fight my way through discussion...) Vacation's last week, not bad for that... :wink:

+ Tree: Now a tree with a horizontal scrollbar auto-scrolls into
view when you drag-hover the left or right margins, aka Hot
Scrolling.
Many thanks, Don!
Also for the
* List | Inline Rename. Now it's a three-step circle...
in the same build, which solves another little problem with high benefits on usability side.
As a side note: I prefer you solution than what I have seen in another file managers, which is: auto-centering folders on tree's viewport when hovering mouse on them. It's a good idea, in theory - but turns into an irritating thing after you use it for some time.
Keep it going!
