How to click a folder in the right pane and have only that one expand on the left

This one is hard to explain, and probably as a result of that I can't see it already discussed here, though I'm sure it is.

Say you have a folder XYZ containing many files and subfolders. You click into XYZ and then click into one of its subfolders (in the right pane). At this point, Explorer in addition to placing you into the subfolder on the right, will expand the XYZ tree on the left to show just the subfolder that you clicked into. If I then click into another folder in the right pane, that folder will also appear in the tree, etc.

What XYplorer does, at least with the default config, is the same thing except it expands the entire XYZ tree on the left, displaying the (potentially) long list of folders there. I much prefer seeing just the folders there that I've clicked into on the right, meaning the ones that I'm actually working with, as it's a lot easier that way.

Is it possible?

E.g. a locked mini tree and a simple script line would support such a behaviour

General - Custom Event Actions - Changing Locations - After browsing a folder

loadtree <curpath>, 1;

Thanks, I think mini-tree alone is fine. I hadn't stumbled on that feature yet.
