disable tree

I have found a lot of use for the catalog. Unfortunately, it's grown quite big. I would like to disable the tree and show only the catalog. To my knowledge, XY can only disable the whole navigation panel (tree + catalog). Is there any chance you'll create options to toggle the tree and the catalog separately? Thanks for the help!

I remember similar requests before and I think there is no way to do it. But if you need only catalog then double-click on tree-catalog divider to toggle between maximized catalog or tree.

In this thread, http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=2424, Don says that this is planned, but not yet implemented...there was another thread (I recall) that more clearly talked about it, but I didn't find it right away.

Update: Found it! http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=1493

thanks for the help! at least i know its coming (maybe). i've just found the tree to be an unnecessary distraction now that my catalog is comprehensive enough as a jump point. i can make the tree small but it's still there taunting me like an angry midget! :)

:) Yes, the option to hide the tree completely is planned. But already now, you can tame the angry midget: uncheck men View / Auto-Synchronize Tree, and the midget will freeze where it is and your browsing will be a lot faster!

Just a follow-up to this request...it would seem that this is now possible via:

Code: Select all

v7.20.0023 - 2008-06-27 11:33 
  +++ Menu Window: Added command Show Tree (Shift+F8), which actually allows you to *hide* the Tree. So, the Catalog finally takes over and pushes the Tree off its throne.
