Q: scroll specific tree-item into view?

Scroll specific tree-item into view?
Is it already possible by relatively easy means? (out-of-the-box or scripting does not matter)
I could not find it but before I wrap my brain around the possibilities of a scripting-construct-workaround, I thought I ask whether I overlooked something or not.
Thx in advance.

Well, I began to like the idea and added something to the next beta:

Code: Select all

    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: ShowInTree
      Action: Show a path in the tree.
      Syntax: showintree [path]
        path: [optional] the path to show.
              If missing the current path is shown (moved into view).
      Remarks:
        - Showing here can just mean to scroll the node into view. If the node 
          is already visible in the view then the command does nothing.
        - Showing can also mean that the tree is expanded to the path if 
          necessary and possible.
        - The path is never selected (browsed) by this command.
        - If the path does not exist the existing part of it (if any) is shown.
      Examples:
         showintree "Desktop";
         showintree "T:\Fotos\2015\";
         showintree "paper:echo"; //yet unofficial but working
Useful! :tup:

does this mean paper-folders will be appearing in tree?

In the Mini Tree, yes. This works already now, but it needs some polishing to be officially released.

After using

Code: Select all

showintree "paper:[name]";
you should see that folder. Well, if not: It's not an official feature anyway. :)

So far, although not official yet, die paper folder only is shown in the tree (if added by SC).
Any virtual subfolder(-links) inside the paper folder are not shown in the tree (as sub-nodes of the paper-folder).

Is this planned to come, or will the paper folder never have any sub-nodes in the tree?
I think this would be cool.

Hmm, that was not planned, but indeed it might be cool. I think about it...
