XYplorer Beta Club

hello,

i found a mac application that shows a tree-like list view, which i think is ingenious, you can see all items in one view, this is probably a built-in view for mac, i wish that xyplorer could also do this.

I could easily do that -- for the Tree. I wrote code for this years ago. But the Tree quickly got unmanagebly high showing all folders and all files, and I decided to drop the idea.

Concerning the List (= subbranch of Tree), this was asked for several times and under several headings. I see the appeal and hear the demand. I think about it... since the expansion states of each folder item must be individually stored and restored (you want to see the same state of list when you reopen a tab, right?) MiniTree like data must be stored with each tab. Plus a lot of stuff needs special attention, so this would be quite a bunch of work. There are some other things on my list as you know... but the Tree-Like List View is an interesting concept.

One should bear in mind though that the above screenshot shows a very unlikely situation in real world. If each folder has several 100 items the appeal of the Tree-Like List View diminishes...
