-Is there a way to get the current (parent) folder highlighted in a different color, even after browsing deeper than one level (which currently leads to losing that lime highlighting)?

For what it's worth, I use an app called " Colour my Folders" and you can either colour, change icon or add your own icons, to any folder anywhere on the system and XYP shows these colours / icons both in the list view(s) and in all the trees etc.

I did not understand the question.

1 - View - Lock Tree
2 - Go to the files list. There's a highlight on the current folder being opened in the files list.
3 - Go into a subfolder: tree is not highlighted anymore, and in a hurry files can be mistakenly moved when using folders with similar names (single panel).

That's a natural consequence of the tree being locked.

Ok, I expect that - but at least parent folder can stay highlighted by any chance...?

That would be really confusing I think.

Hmmm, really can't see why or how... quite the opposite is true: not having a visual (quick) reference on where we are at the tree leads to a confusing "where was I?" state that annoys each time I need tree locked. Losing the highlight just by going deeper in the same directory, having a similar base name

documents_2009_08
documents_2009_07
documents_2009_06
documents_2009_05

like this can result in a singular sense of being lost.
