Dual File Trees in same window?

#1 Post by pool boy » 02.09.2015, 00:35

I would like to view (2) file trees, one in an upper horizontal section, another in a lower horizontal section, each working independently of each other and controlling its adjacent file sections independently of each other.
Is this at all a possibility?

Press Ctrl+H, then in Settings > View > Tree > One tree per panel, restart FC and use Alt+T for each panel to enable Tree for each panel.

Not sure it this is what you want, it looks like this:

[tree1] [file list 1]

[tree2] [file list 2]

More than 2 independent trees, or more than 1 tree per panel, are not possible AFAIK.

Hello Dreamer,
Yes, this is almost what I want! From your directions, here is what I ended up with...
WINDOW 1 WINDOW 2
[tree1] [file list 1] ! [tree2] [file list 2]

The only difference is that I would prefer the windows to be horizontal instead of vertical./re:

[tree1] [file list 1] - for top window
___________________________________
[tree2] [file list 2] - for bottom window


Is this possible? YES IT IS...WITH CTRL + H !!!

THANK YOU DREAMER !!!

I'm new to Free Commander XE and very much loing forward to using it.

One thing that I cannot do at the moment which I want to do is have 2 panes open but with BOTH showing the directory tree.

I read this thread which seemed to suggest there was a Settings > View > Tree > One tree per panel option but I don't have it (The "One tree per panel" option)
I am using the latest version from the download page (Build 700 32-bit public beta) on Windows 10 Pro.

TYI

Ah, thanks for the quick response, should have hunted around more, was getting the view option mixed up with setting.
