LOVE the mini-tree but Refresh needs tweak

I LOVE the mini-tree!!! However, I turn off auto-refreshing b/c most of my work is on network drives that have a significant latency. (This is why mini-tree is so awesome, of course). I frequently have to hit my refresh button to get an updated directory listing, but hitting refresh completely expands the mini-tree into the regular tree. It would be great if refresh while in mini-tree only updated the current directory and retained your mini-tree.

What do you press to refresh? F4? You should press Shift+F4 to refresh just the current folder. (Of course you can change the shortcut to whatever you want.)

He might be using the TB button, which doesn't do a simple Refresh List (F5) but a lot more (Refresh Tree and List, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F5), another reason I can't wait for CTB! ;)

One thing I noticed that annoys me : when auto-refresh kicks in while on a folder without a node on MiniTree, the root/drive is automatically added. Also, I think that moving/copying files to a location without a node will do the same, add a node for the drive/root. I wish this would not happen.

Truth be told, I also don't like that when dropping folders on a node, they're added as subnodes even if there was no node for said folders in their original/source location to begin with.

That being said, MiniTree is freaking cool, yes! :D

It might be because I just ate a staple of fresh chapatis but somehow I don't get either of your points. Are you talking about a locked MiniTree? Or how can you be "on a folder without a node on MiniTree"? Oh, yes, there came some wine with the chapatis... :wink:

Oh yeah, right, Locked MiniTree indeed! :roll: I only use my minitrees locked to be honest so I kinda forgot about it... :oops: Sorry about that.

Okay, I classified your "wishes" as bugs and fixed them. :)
