Two critical features I can not find in XYPlorer

[admin]

Sad to say: I especially understand the thing with priorities

And very sad seeing what happened to the german translation.
Really bad: I'm not the person for such kind of work.
Maybe someone else can be found the next days. I see that it wouldn't be fine if just German would be missing

Germany is THE market for me of all countries in the world: Big, rich, and afraid of English So, I just HAVE to do it.

1. Right click on the desired folder in the tree > Expansion > Fully collapse

I don't see that submenu on Windows 8, strange.

I do see the Expansion submenu on a XP system running the same XY version (current beta 11.90.0105).

Any Win 8 user around actually seeing thes expansion submenu?

It is possible in a file manager that has so advanced features (XYplorer is one of the best) to implement the option of a simple DOUBLE FOLDER TREE, one for each pane !
It may seem unnecessary, but it would be really convenient (as I have had experience with other file managers)
Some people already in the past have made requests like this. This would cause many users to CHANGE FILE MANAGER to use XYplorer: YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IT !!!

thanks very much !!

Welcome to the club!

A double tree is not planned.

However, what I could imagine is a tree that completely changes its contents depending on the focused pane. So each list pane would have its own tree, but in one and the same tree pane. How's that?

That is, the tree shown would always be that of the active pane?

Hm - I think this would have advantages (like: the tree doesn't show all that garbage of the inactive pane), but also inadvantages (sometimes you would miss exactly that).

But if you would have the contents of a tree per pane, so it can switch on selecting the other pane, would it be so hard to allow(!) showing both? I'm still a fan of that - after all the years.

Even the synched tree would be hard. Dual tree even harder.

I just said "I could imagine", that's not a plan.

Sad to hear - but thanks!

Here's one more supporter for the "Double Tree" feature.

And for the "Synced Tree" as well! Should(!) this one ever trickle up your ToDo list and become a reality it would be awesome if that tree would be synced to individual tabs. I use the "visual guidance" (that the folder tree gives me) a lot to identify tabs that contain identically named (yet different) folders. Having a folder tree that is individual to each of these folders (i.e. showcasing a different set of collapsed/open folders instead of always showing all folders that are open in all tabs) would help a lot. Basically just like one has it with multiple (Windows) Explorer windows.

I'd be interested to hear what precisely the file-management problems are that would make this Incredibly Useful. I'm trying to think of a scenario where I'd prefer to give up the necessary screen space to use two trees.

I like the...tidiness...of having an option to have each tab synced separately to the tree, but even that, I'm not sure just what problems it would have a large effect on solving. Myself, I'd rather see something like perhaps a long-press, folder-contents preview - more information, same screen space. If I wanted two or four little windows with their own little file trees - I WOULD use Windows Explorer.
