Tree not expanded the same as it was when XY was closed

Post by Gandolf »

I have a sub-directory in the tree focused and expanded so that all it's sub-directories are visible in the tree (and, obviously, in the list). I close XY and reopen it. The sub-directory is still focused in the tree but not expanded in the tree.
If I check "Expand destination node in tree" then it is expanded even if it was not expanded before I closed XY, so that is not exactly what I want.

It has always been like this. Whether it is good is another question.

I would prefer XY to reopen with the tree in the same state as I left it in. Particularly if I have a branch highlighted and several sub-directories opened, then to loose the whole tree structure because I've turned the computer off and on again can be annoying.

Ok. I changed it: now the selection state of the current node is remembered between sessions. Good idea indeed!

However, restoring the complete expansion state of all tree nodes (which is also a good idea!) is another thing, which I'll come back to after the catalog is done...

Thanks, the first level is the most important but further levels would excellent.

Preferably with tab-specific restorations - otherwise only the last tab selected when you closed would have a memory...
test everything. hold on to the good.

Tree is appwise, not tabwise.
