Remember the last selection in the various folders
Is it possible to automatically remember and select the last used item in a previously visited specific folder? For example, if I navigated to "C:\a\b\c\d.txt" yesterday, when I return to the "a" folder today, I would like to find the "b" folder selected among all the items present in the "a" folder.

You could use Favorites and Favorite Folders to achieve this.

The option is already enabled, however, its effect is partial, the element is put in focus, but not selected. It also does not work between two different boards, or for folders visited the week before for example.
To see the attached files, you need to log into the forum.

Code: Select all
v22.00.0007 - 2021-07-05 13:03
* Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Select last used
subfolder: Now it's limited to Up/Down and Back/Forward.
The extended functionality (do it also when entering a folder via the list
or the breadcrumb bar) is now bound to a tweak (bitfield: 1=via list,
2=via breadcrumb). To restore the previous behavior set it to 3:
AutoSelectMRUSubfolderExtended=3
I changed the default behavior because it seemed unnatural to me.

It works thank you.
How do options 1 and 2 behave instead?

Read the description of the tweak again (tip, it's a binary field).
