Add inactive side to "Manage favorite folders"

[Horst]

Using a 2pane layout, it would be very helpful to have pairs of folders managed.
So if I select an entry from the list, it should set both panes.
Please don't say this can be scripted, I know
For a 2pane file manager, this should be an intrinsic function.

[admin]

Yeah, why not. The next beta will have something in that way.

[Horst]

Thanks for the very fast implementation
Btw. I edit the list using the context menu of the Favorite Folders button.

So goto "\\VEGA\Users\Donald||D:\"; is very much like the old
goto "DUAL:1.<curpath>>>2||<curpath>>>2"; which you removed years ago. I remember being bummed out about it.

No real problem but I figured I'd let you know, if I use goto "F:\||G:\"; and I have a default tab for pane 2 (and in this case there is no locked tab for G:\), it will open a new tab rather than using the default tab for pane 2. It seems to use the default tab for pane 1.

[Horst]

Now of course a suggestion for the context menu of the Favorite Folders button
Add the entry "Store both panes as favorites" and ask for a title of the entry.

1) Yes, the DUAL syntax was clumsy and nobody seemed to be interested anyway. Now the handling is much cooler.

2) Will be fixed.

Something like that is conceivable once the experimental phase has been successfully completed.

Hi Don, in your beta notes you provide an example echo "active: <curpath>";||echo "inactive: <curpath>";. When I try that I get an error for the inactive pane.

'|echo' is not a valid script command.
|echo
inactive: D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts

For this run, I was in D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts in the active pane and G:\Agent downloads in the inactive pane. It gets the active pane correct no matter which one it is but not the inactive one.

[admin]

Sure? Cannot reproduce.

[Horst]

This example from above works fine here
echo "active: <curpath>";||echo "inactive: <curpath>";

[klownboy]

Sure? Cannot reproduce.

Yes. Try running the beta example from Scripting > Run script... But yes it works from the AB.

[Horst]

With Run Script, I also get the error.

[admin]

Oh, it's not supported here. This syntax is strictly for locations. It's not a script.

If you want to use it as a script, you have to wrap it up as a location:

Code: Select all

goto 'echo "active: <curpath>";||echo "inactive: <curpath>";';

Confirmed

While I was having lunch I figured it probably had to do with the address bar and goto support. Thanks.
