All

I am cleaning up a large data folder collection on my file server.

Every time I select a dozen folders, Right-Click/Drag them to a completely different destination folder, release the right click button and choose "Move Here To New Subfolder" - I am prompted for a new folder name, I enter it and the move completes - but then XY auto expands the tree to show me the dozen folders that I moved - which gets annoying about one second after doing this the first time.

I have been clicking options on and off but cannot find the right combo to turn this off. (If it can be turned off?)

Ideally - I need XY to create the new destination folder that I typed in - but I do not need all the folders moved there to auto expand whatsoever.

If this is possible - please let me know what I need to turn on or off within the XY Config.

Cheers

Check if this is set to 0

TreeExpandTargetFolder=0

follow these instructions exactly on how to tweak: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak

It is already set to 0.

Any other ideas?

Cannot even reproduce it. Can you give a more detailed description and instructions?

Sure (I have now confirmed this ONLY occurs on a network drive - and only when copying/moving from another network location)

1. Open a network location with say - a folder with 5 directorys full of things. (not too large for this test)

2. Highlight the 5 folders full of things
3. Right click + HOLD + Drag the 5 folders to a new network folder location (Preferably one with an existing folder structure)

4. Release the right mouse button and choose Copy Here to New Subfolder
5. Give the folder a name
6. The new named folder is created - but the drop targets all decide to expand out
This is with 5 folders. Imagine it with 30.

Hope this helps.

Define "new network folder location". You mean on a different server?

Is this mapped or UNC?

... well, in the meantime I tried every possible combination and it never happens. :\

In the example above - I am working on my file server (SWS-FS-001) that is hanging off the XY network tree

Copying the 5 folders from:

\\SWS-FS-001\Data Archive\Work Data\2015\Expenses

TO

\\SWS-FS-001\Data Archive\Personal Data\2015\Test Drop

And yes - totally understand if you cannot reproduce which likely means I have a setting somewhere that differs from yours - hence my inquiry.

Since you confirmed that TreeExpandTargetFolder=0 I'm out of ideas. BTW, it also does not make sense that this should only happen with network paths.

Agreed. I clearly have something either on (or off) that is causing it if you cannot reproduce.

With the hundreds of settings in XY - it will be an adventure finding it.

There are not so many that have Tree and Expand in the name.
