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.admin wrote:This:TheQwerty wrote:I'm not sure I've followed what behavior you're looking for opinions on, but I think I like it.admin wrote:Who else is driven nuts by 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
Does make sense but would need a whole new data set just for this. Not worth it IMO.avsfan wrote: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.
Currently not. Apart from you nobody ever complained, and you always have the option to travel by tree.grindax wrote:May I suggest adding this as an option? Perhaps call it something like "Automatically scroll to historical locations".
No, auto-scrolling to preselected items in this context is a basic functionality that cannot be changed selectively.grindax wrote: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.grindax wrote:May I suggest adding this as an option?

1) There is a way around: use the treegrindax wrote: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.admin wrote:No, auto-scrolling to preselected items in this context is a basic functionality that cannot be changed selectively.
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.grindax wrote: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.admin wrote:There is a way around: use the tree
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?admin wrote: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"
