When I click a folder in the right pane, the tree automatically expand its subfolders. How should I do?
Any scripts or something?

Re: Expand tree
How should you do what, expanding the tree without entering that folder but just selecting it with a simple left-click?

Re: Expand tree
Describe again what you mean. Use a picture to illustrate your point.

The feature you probably mean was removed from the GUI half a year ago:
But I'm willing (and now have the space) to add it again. I would now call it "Expand tree nodes on select". (That's already handled by Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Expand tree nodes on single-click). I would now call it "Expand tree nodes on browse".

The feature you probably mean was removed from the GUI half a year ago:
Code: Select all
v24.30.0123 - 2023-04-25 17:00
- Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Expand destination node in tree:
Removed that setting from Config but kept it as a tweak. It's a very old setting
(v4.50.0055 - 2006-03-30 19:05) that feels a bit weird today, the caption is
confusing users, it was off by default, it never worked in Mini Tree anyway by
design, and I needed the space.
The tweak is:
ExpandOnBrowse=1

Look at: Tools > Configuration > General > Mouse, Menus, Usability > Mouse > Single click to open an item and check, On the icon only and or Folder only

Re: Expand tree
Actually it is this: Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Expand tree nodes on browse (but only from v25.30.0015 - 2023-12-14 12:43 onwards!).

Re: Expand tree
I thought he would have already seen v25.30.0015 by his last entry. In any case, single clicking on a folder in the list and having the corresponding folder open in the tree can be done with the option I gave above without having Configuration | General | Tree and List | Tree | Expand tree nodes on browse. If I disable "Expand tree nodes on browse" the other option alone (e.g., single click to open an item (in the list)) will open the folder in the tree.
OK I see what you mean, it opens the folder but doesn't expand it. But, I still think he'd want both options if his intent is a single click on a folder in the list panel.

Re: Expand tree
Hi, I mean when I choose one folder by single click LButton, then this folder will expand automaticlly in tree. (I'm not sure if you understand my meaning.)

Re: Expand tree
Single click where? In the file list? No, that won't happen.

Re: Expand tree
Have you read the earlier posts? viewtopic.php?p=216572#p216572. If you do as that post states along with what Don suggested, when you single click a folder in the list it will open and expand that folder in the tree.
