Open destination folder after moving files

Hi, is there a way to automatically open the destination folder after completing a move operation?
When I move a file using Shift+F7, could the destination folder automatically open as a new tab, or be highlighted in the folder tree so I can click on it?
If not, would it perhaps be possible for you to implement this feature?
I know life isn’t a wish list — but asking doesn’t hurt... and maybe the idea isn’t that bad after all ≥
Perhaps this could be offered as an optional setting or tweak — in case it’s not currently possible.

Would be scriptable but only with a html interface (or a multi-step gui), not with the original gui element...

Go | Go to Last Target (Ctrl+Alt+F7) is not so far away.

This hotkey is burned into my muscle memory by now. :tup:

Then assign it a hotkey via a UDC - Run script...
#220; #521;

Hello, I have an additional question — especially for the scripting experts (Jedi).

If you initiate a command sequence like this:

Code: Select all

#220; #340; #521;
and during the confirmation prompt from XY (asking whether you really want to proceed) you realize that you selected the wrong folder and cancel the operation — will #340; #521; still be executed anyway..
How can this be modified so that, if the user answers “No,” steps two and three are not executed?

Thank you in advance

That's not possible, command ids don't have a return value you could check. The only option would be to add a confirm() statement after the first command id but then you would need to always answer that regardless if you confirmed or cancelled the first requester...

Hold SHIFT while you click on the "Go to Last Target" button and it will open a new tab.

One additional option would be this:

Code: Select all

#220; if (<get shift> == 1) { end true; } #521;
If you hold shift when clicking on "OK" in the first requester, all other command ids after it wouldn't be executed...

Okay, unfortunately I would receive all this command with a single hot key (Alt+g)

I am not sure which exact confirmation prompt you mean, but maybe something like this could work:

Code: Select all

  $t = <get targetitems>; #220; if ($t != <get targetitems>) { #340; #521; }

When I move or copy files (for example, pictures or audio files from the Downloads folder) to a specific folder (such as Pictures or Music) and press the hotkey, XY asks me something like this:

Code: Select all

You have initiated a copy operation.

Selected Item:
  Name:           	Mercy (2026) <DIR>
  Location:       	C:\Users\Home\Downloads\

Recursive Contents:
  Total Count:    	2 files, 1 folder
  Total Bytes:    	2,10 GB (2.258.609.314 bytes)

Source: 	C:\Users\Home\Downloads\
Target: 	Z:\Filme\

Continue with the operation?
Long story short, you nailed it — thank you very, very much.

Untick Configuration | General | Safety Belts, Network | Safety Belts | Confirm copy and move operations if you don't want to see that prompt.
