Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
Hi! I can't make good use of the tree when the panel is rather narrow. I think it would be very helpful to be able to limit the number of upper levels displayed, e.g.: for level = 0 the tree only contains the curpath siblings.

Try View / Mini Tree

Just for fun run this through the address bar:
loadtree <curpath>;

Re: Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
This is the opposite of what I meant: it hides the siblings, but shows the whole tree starting from This PC.
My proposal was a tree that limits the upper levels to a configurable number (because I always have to scroll right to make use of the tree) and also shows the children of the current path.
Edit: sorry, I should have posted this under "Wishes" instead.

Can you make a mockup screenshot of what you mean?

Re: Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
Sure! I've attached pictures with how my normal/minimized tree looks enclosed in a small area, and how I wished it would look.
For example, I have a folder C:\Users\OneDrive\Docs\ which contains documents organized in other folders, per topic.
When I'm browsing the Docs folder I do not need my tree to show the paths starting from C:\, because they are not related in any way.
I would like to be able to limit the tree to only the other folders in OneDrive (siblings) and the folders in Docs (children).
Edit: this is just a proposal, I manage just fine without the tree (by using the breadcrumb bar)

Re: Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
If I understand you correctly, you could achieve this simply by moving the node in question to the upper left corner using the scrollbars.

Re: Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
Won't work with a normal tree, if you open a subfolder with enough entries that exceed the vertical space of the tree the root node will jump out of sightby moving the node in question to the upper left corner
@OP
The only possible way atm would be to put a link of your root dropbox folder into the "Computer\Links" folder and browse it from there
You can just drag and drop it^^

Re: Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
Thanks! Actually I can manage without the tree, by using the breadcrumb bar.
But I wish it also showed arrows also for folders in the dropdown list that appears when you click a triangle in the breadcrumb bar.

Re: Limit the parent levels displayed in the tree?
Using 25.90 on Win10.
In the interest of experimenting, I ran this through the address bar and now some (not all) root directories in the tree do not show -all- the directories. For example, My D:\ drive has 22 directories under the root, but only one is showing in the tree. If it matters, the one that's showing is a "favorite." But some of the other drives have one or two (or none) favorite directories and all of the directories appear in the tree.
I have tried View > Reset Tree and that doesn't bring them all back.
I want to undo
loadtree <curpath>;
Thanks.

Uncheck Mini Tree.

Thanks Don. I guess I didn't realize the mini-tree gets enabled when using
loadtree <curpath>;
