The behavior for Open in other pane in v20.30 is different from the previous versions (v19.00).
For v19: if no focused folder is selected in pane 1 (i.e. when clicking on the empty space, no light blue highlights on the item, with only solid rectangle box), "Open in other pane" would open the current directory in pane 2; if the focused folder is selected in pane 1 (light blue highlights on the item), it would open that folder in pane 2.
For v20.30, it would open the solid rectangle box selected folder in other pane, no matter the focused folder is selected or not.
It is better if the new version could bring the old feature back.

Not sure I understand. "Open in other pane" is a context menu command. The item that owns the context menu is always selected.

Thank you for your response.
It is a context menu command. However, I am a heavy keyboard user, and I set up a hotkey to run it, so I don't need a context menu to activate it.
It is kind of like combining two functions:
0. If an item is not selected, it would perform "Go here in other pane"
1. If an item is selected, it would perform "Open in other pane".
That way, one hotkey covers two scenarios.
v19 has exactly the same feature. Somehow v20 removed it. Please bring it back, no extra work needs to be done .

How exactly do you open the context menu of a non-selected item?

I just set up a hotkey (in my case shift/+) for "Open folder in other pane", no context menu needed.

In v20.30, if only files (no folders) in Pane A, press the hotkey would "go here in pane B", no matter if you select items or not. That is the same as v19. If folders in pane A, and select one folder and deselect it, press the hotkey would open the folder in pane B, but not "go here in pane B" (i.e. open the current path in pane B), which doesn't make sense. Because no folder is selected, it should have the same behavior as non-selected files.

Aha, that one!

OK, I will restore the old behavior. Seems to make sense.

Something about your name suggested that in a way...

LOL
I really like your software. Honestly, I was a TC user and compared dozens of file managers, Directory Opus, Q‑Dir, xplorer², etc. This one is the best (no "one of"). Really appreciate your work, save me a lot of trouble.

BTW, any interest in my another suggestion?
