Show '..' (parent) in folder

[raraz]

Please add '..' in folder to move to parent folder.
It is in my old system to navigate tru folders with shift,arrows,home,end,enter.

If you're navigating using your keyboard you can use backspace to go to the parent folder.

If you're interested, I use an autohotkey script to give me Vim-Like keyboard navigations in XY. It works really well alongside XY's scripting capabilities, I only need my mouse for the menus items like configurations and such.

I just found out navigating in, out parent folders with Alt - up,down arrow. BTW, Backspace, Shift- backspace do the same.

I worked with SpeedCommander for a long time and i got used to this workflow (with my mouse).
Can this be implemented as an option?

TIA

I am just wondering what could be your problem with the double click on white... By that, you have a much bigger target to hit. Maybe if you tried it out you could even speed your workflow up.

That is no sulution because on a long file list white space is only availabe on the very end of the list.

If "Full Row Select" is not used, space is nearly everywhere

"Full Row Select" is used.
And what Horst says.

The ".." method is so archaic it makes me shudder.

[ssx]

Yep, sometimes i am an old fashioned guy, so the method works well for me. Not everything was bad in the past

[admin]

I agree, but as a programmer I can tell you: the things necessary to make this anomaly work would be endless. It's an atavism that comes from DOS and just doesn't fit into modern file managers.

[WirlyWirly]

I believe there's a toolbar button that goes to the parent folder, which would be accessible no matter what part of the list is in view.

Just another alternative.

[admin]

Additionally from the next beta onwards you can use .. as location in a Catalog item to go upwards from here:

Code: Select all

    * Catalog: A location ".." was by default resolved relative to app path. Nobody needs 
      this. Now it is resolved relative to the current path.
      Exception: tweak ABRelativeToAppPath is set to 1.

This sounds good. I have no clue how it will work then, but i will see.
Many thanks for your commitment.
I think it was a good idea to switch from SpeedCommander. The XY offers so much more and i like the community.

What shudders for me is my right mousehand by too much clicking .
Imo it might be archaic but at least I can use control keys instead of my mouse.
But luckily I found other keycombi to navigate to parent/child. (Alt-arrows)
BTW they are DOS keycombinations

No kidding. Have you ever heard of RSI {Repetative Strain Injury} I have dealt with it because of too much mouse clicking, and I can tell you: it is a serious pain that last for months if not years to heal. (for me after 20 years the laming pain still returns after playing a game or too long mouse work) .
Seriously, my advice: always go for keys combinations over mouseclicks.
