open in other

[sfranky]

hi all!
is it possible to *single* click on a drive button, while focused on one pane, and open the drive's contents in the *other* pane? preferably it should be a right click, just like in ..dopus? ? Basically, it's the only feature really missing for me!
I've bought xyplorer through the (super-excellent, putting dopus' pricing policy to shame!! ) summer offer, but I m having a little difficulty sticking with it because of the lack of this feature.. with a macro perhaps? I found a command somewhere, but that involved right-clicking and then *selecting* the option to open in other pane

thanks!

Hi sotiris welcome!. I think you did the right decision

hi all!
is it possible to *single* click on a drive button, while focused on one pane, and open the drive's contents in the *other* pane? preferably it should be a right click, just like in ..dopus? ? Basically, it's the only feature really missing for me!

I have two buttons "L" and "R" to set the focus to Left or Right pane
and open an list of available drives
where i can select one to open:

For your request you could add an toolbar button with this script

Code: Select all

Focus "PI"; button "myco";

This means: Focus inactive Pane ; open default drivelist command myco;

If you put this script into the "On Click" field you gets the list of drives right at the left click,
if you put it into the "on right-click" field you are provided with an option to execute that script by an additional left click.

The option to just right click and execute the script is currently not possible AFAIK,
because an right click have to access the original button-context menu too.

HTH a little?
Maybe others may improve this tip.

It helps indirectly! There's lots of stuff to learn, it's a lovely manager, I just have to get over doing things the dopus way..
maybe I ll write a short autohotkey script to automate 'rightclick then select option with left click' ..
Thank you for helping!

And there you go, today's beta:

Code: Select all

v9.40.0102 - 2010-08-13 17:32
    + Now you can force opening a folder in the other pane (inactive 
      pane) by holding Ctrl+Shift while triggering the open. This works 
      in the following contexts:
      - All sorts of location menus: History (Back, Forward); 
        Breadcrumb; Favorites; Drives; Recent Locations; Hotlist; etc.
      - List: Ctrl+Shift+DblClick an item
        If the item is a file the containing folder is opened and the 
        file is selected.
      It does not work in Tree, Catalog, and Address Bar.
      Quite useful little trick when you work with Dual Pane. Especially 
      nice when the active pane shows a recursive search results listing 
      which you want to explore further on the other pane.     

By the way, that was a nice request. I am liking this feature.

Me too, and indeed the idea was triggered by this request.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

And welcome to the speed and responsiveness of our leader, Don! Seems that your request was implemented rather quickly (which isn't really that unusual here) and I highly doubt you'd have gotten such a prompt reply/action from any other file manager so please do what you can to spread the word on forums/blogs/etc about how well you were treated, ok?

eerr that's what I just said

Is it possible to change the mapping to a RMB internally? or shall I use autohotkey

No.
