how to auto select folder that you exit

Post by TMProjection »

hey all, i know about

general > refresh icons history > history > history retains selections

that works great, however, so you copy and paste a url, and only then you go up the folder
that means you havent had it selected before

how can we make it selected upon exiting a folder?

thank you

Do you mean this?

Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | Select last used subfolder

yes and no, thats already enabled, but i like to use the URL tree

for example

F:\programs\0ASSETS\3D\Devil May Cry 5 Dante Sparda Sword\documentation

say i am in "documentation"

and instead of going back or forward, or up, i just click on the folder tree in the URL onto for example "3D", it would be nice if "Devil May Cry 5 Dante Sparda Sword" would be selected?

Not possible. But there is something similar: In the Breadcrumb Bars enable "Show Downward Path".

Not in the settings... Right click the breadcrumb bar

im not sure if people are understanding what i mean, im sure its quiet simple and im sure people would benefit from you

just to make sure im explaining correctly, i have attached image for example

so say i am in:
F:\programs\0ASSETS\3D\Lamps Lighting Lantern\TomaszFortyFour\Coke Oven
and in the breadcrumb bar i click on:
Lamps Lighting Lantern
since we exited out of the previous location
F:\programs\0ASSETS\3D\Lamps Lighting Lantern\TomaszFortyFour\Coke Oven
going up the url to
F:\programs\0ASSETS\3D\Lamps Lighting Lantern\
ideally
TomaszFortyFour
should remain selected as we went up it, i cant be the only one that repeatedly has to find the folder each time?

Make sure this is enabled:

Configuration | General | Tree and List | List | [x] Select last used subfolder

and set this tweak:

AutoSelectMRUSubfolderExtended=3

follow these instructions exactly on how to tweak: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak

It sounds like you didn't apply the tweak properly, run this in the address bar and see if it returns 3.

msg getkey("AutoSelectMRUSubfolderExtended", "Settings");
