Saving tree expanded
Saving tree expanded
I like the folder tree showing on the left panel when I open FC. Is there a setting for saving the drive or folder expanded so the next time I open FC it is expanded. Example I want C: drive expanded one level when I open FC. Thanks for any info, GregT

Something like "Remember tree state on startup" ... would be nice.

I was thinking more on the line of the expanded section(folder, drive, etc.) being included in the "Save Settings". GregT

When I go to Main Menu, View, Tree the tree shows on the left panel. As long as the tree is showing when I close FCXE the tree continues to show when I open FCXE. Is this not what you're experiencing?

I want the tree to stay expanded at a drive or folder(what ever view I save settings at) when I close and reopen. GregT

Re: Saving tree expanded
This is what I've done:
Just note that when Auto save settings is unchecked, when you make a change that you want to keep, you'll need to manually save settings again with the same layout set. In FC2009b there was a feature called layouts so you can save different layouts and quickly go back to them when needed. This feature hasn't been included in FCXE at this time.
I hope this is what you're looking for.
- Main Menu, View, Tree (tree shows on the left panel)
- Main Menu, Tools, Settings... Start program, Start/TEMP folder tab, Start with following folders (set your desired paths, select OK
- Position splitter bar as desired
- Position FCXE as desired
- Main Menu, Tools, Settings... General, Settings, uncheck Auto save settings - on exit, select OK
- Main Menu, Tools, Save Settings
- Close FCXE
- Open FCXE

This works only if I select a folder in C: drive in the left pane as start folder with the focus being on said folder. I want FC to open left pane C: drive expanded with focus on C: drive showing the folders of C: drive in the right pane. Something like PowerDesk Pro had called "Save Settings Now". If I expand C: drive in FC left pane with focus on C: drive and do a "Save Settings" then close and reopen FC C: drive is focus but not expanded in left pane.

Yes I see what you mean. I don't know how to keep the tree expanded.
