Mini-Tree Within Each Pane ?

[GreetingsFromPoland]

hi! i always see a post or comment show up requesting a separate tree for each pane (that is active and visible). personally, i don't have any issue with the current setup with a single tree that changes when i click inside a pane. i see dual trees in other applications; however, i don't feel that i am missing that here in XY.

that said, with monitors expanding, screen size doesn't seem to be an issue. here is an example of a new, empty folder showing in one of panes :

would it be possible to add new mini-tree controls to the left side of each pane that is connected to each pane ? optional and expand/collapsible of course. if this was an option, it could solve the "dual tree" requests and may even come in handy.

to keep it simple, i think it should be mini-only and only support the basic of features, e.g. navigating, standard right-click menu, etc.

For me, dual trees are not really helpful.
I use Total Commander and XY.
Total Commander offers trees per pane, but I only use one.
I even switch off the tree completely most of the time
as there are enough ways to reach any folder very fast,
using LIstary or Everything integration.

Btw. I would like to only show the tree by a toggle button in XY.

Then do it? #668 and get() can check for it

Thanks, the button was easy
Now I'm searching to automatically adjust (extent) the column with in the panes if the tree is switched off.
In TC this is done without additional programming.
I guess in XY this will need some scripting.

#372 (autosize columns now)?

No, that doesn't change the layout, if I run it after the tree is off.

Then you have to work with columnlayout() and setcolumns() ...

May I ask what scenarios you cover with TC, FTP?

Since a long time I no longer need FTP.
In the past, I used it a lot to send error reports to several support sites.
TC FTP covers all settings and features one can expect for a non-dedicated FTP client.
Do you have some special needs ?

Sync with a file item-wise preview list. Usually script based XY sync is the way to go, but sometimes I want to see a detailed "editable" merge listing before.

[Horst]

You get a preview like shown below.
Then you can change single entries or whole dir entries
before starting a sync.
