how to auto select folder that you exit

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

yup did exactly that, in the tree list, and the tweak in configuration file

it works with, back and forward buttons, but not if i click on the folder on the breadcrumb bar

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");
