Just before you start asking (and to create a fresh topic for this mind-blowing feature): Yes, it is planned to add a
special tree folder called "Paper" which has all existing Paper Folders as childs. It is planned for Paper Folders 2.0.

Not working (yet) in my workflow: Copy/Move to other Pane. Could they be made smart enough to default to "Add to Paper Folder"?

Really? Works fine here.

Nope. I tried to trigger it directly (via #804 instead of my F5 shortcut) - but no luck.

Thanks! Glad to hear that it was still very useful.
Anyway, that's odd. It works fine for me as well. I selected a file and directly invoked #804 from the address bar and it's working as expected. I also tried it using the default keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+F6 and Shift+F6 and it's still working too.

Hmm - so it must be something in my config - but what?
I tried ::fresh; - I tried as admin, after a reboot ...

OK, I now found a way to reproduce the bug! Fix comes...

As mentioned in the other thread...
1. When you create a new PF, navigation goes away immediately from your current location to what's in that PF. Don't like it. Open it in a new tab if you have to open it right away.
2. How can I add a tab I am in to an existing PF? This is not immediately clear. I can convert an existing folder into its own PF, but I don't want to do that.
3. I would like to see an ability to have nested PFs. Otherwise, if/when number 2 becomes possible, my PF list will be as long as the Great Wall of China.

Hi Don,
for the lack of time this is all I can write right now: congrats to the release of another major feature.
Of course, I will post my questions asap upon start of my evaluations.
Cheers,
Filehero

1. Why is it a problem? IMO that's what you (okay, everybody else) want.
2. You mean add the current location to an existing PF? You have to have the PF visible as
target somewhere: either as second pane, as catalog item, or as tab. Then you can drag the current location from the Tree to it.
3. <xydata> supports subfolders.

1. Why would I want my current folder location -- where I may be doing something -- to be taken over by a blank PF list? It's like when browsing the web: when in doubt, open the link in a new tab.
2. Why do I have to drag and drop items to it? Why is it not possible to right click on a tab I am currently in and have context menu choices to either create a new PF from the current tab's list or add the list to an existing PF?
3. Same as 2 in terms of ease of use: I would like to be able to select a list of items in an existing PF, right click on them and either be able to copy/move them to a new separate PF, add them to an existing PF or create a new nested PF within the existing one. Is this something I can currently accomplish without manually editing those text files?

1. Open a new tab first.
2. Because that would need extra commands.
3. Use Copy To.
