Enable double-dots - parent folder.

Post by @leksey »

I am installed XYplorer Free and all is perfect except i didn't find "double dots" (two dots) as up to previous level (parent directory).
Checked settings and didn't discover such settings. Is it possible to enable double dots?
Thank you in advance.
PS
I know about "level up arrow" and "navigation" on top, but all stock explorers are using this for navigation and i can't use app without it.

If you don't want to use
Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Mouse | Dbl-click on empty space goes up
and dlb click on empty (white) space in the list or use a keyboard shortcut to go up one level
you're out of luck because there doesn't exist the possibility to show a double dot entry to
go up...

I also would like to have double dots because they allow to easily move item up one level.
Without double dots it is much more cumbersome to move or copy items into their parent dir.
It can be done via Copy/Paste or drag on the parent folder in the folder tree but both is not as straight forward as double dots.

For "move item up one level", you can enable a right-click menu item called "Move Up" from

It won't happen. Double-clicking on white is a much bigger target, and it's much less weird and outdated.
