Scroll to top when clicking column header with no selection

[admin]

Who else is driven nuts by this? And who likes it?

I'm not sure I've followed what behavior you're looking for opinions on, but I think I like it. (Auto-Focusing the last used folder when navigating through the list pane?)

This:

go C:\a\b
go C:\
dbl-click folder "a" in the file list to go into "a"
> folder "b" is auto-selected in the file list

Then yes, I do like that behavior, because it makes it quicker to jump back and forth via keyboard, and it serves as a reminder of where I was working if/when I get distracted.

I would agree that if the child folder has been explicitly deselected that the list view should not autoscroll to it when the parent directory is revisited.

However, if the child folder is selected at the time the path is changed, let it continue to be visible when that directory is revisited.

Does make sense but would need a whole new data set just for this. Not worth it IMO.

May I suggest adding this as an option? Perhaps call it something like "Automatically scroll to historical locations".

Currently not. Apart from you nobody ever complained, and you always have the option to travel by tree.

I could only make the whole business of UP/DOWN auto-selection optional -- that would addtionally to go-into-folder-via-list also affect "Up" (Back) and "Down" (Shift+Back). My suggestion: "Auto-select recent locations"

Don, what about this? Surely this would just require a boolean flag to determine whether to automatically scroll the view when navigating via the list pane. For me this would make a huge difference not having to keep scrolling back to the top manually.

No, auto-scrolling to preselected items in this context is a basic functionality that cannot be changed selectively.

That's too bad. I find it strange that XYplorer insists on scrolling to deselected files/folders that I've finished working with, against my wishes, and there's no way around that.

1) There is a way around: use the tree
2) I made an offer: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 460#p50460

I use a combination of locked tree + lots of tabs, so I do a lot of navigation within each of the main tabbed locations using the list pane. So this wouldn't be practical.

Not sure I understand. Are you saying there's a potential to add an option to not auto-select recent locations when navigating, thus making it possible to not auto-scroll to those recent locations?

Yes. There are three contexts in which this auto-selection (plus scrolling into view) takes place: "Up", "Down", and "go-into-folder-via-list". I could add make the whole package optional, but not "go-into-folder-via-list" only.
