Develop all nodes

(1/2) > >>

Pierre83:
Hello. I just discovered this great soft and am trying to use it.
1 feature I was unable to found is the one provided by the * key in Windows Explorer = developping all nodes of a folder in the folder panel, allowing to display all the sub-folders without having to click on each "+".
Am I wrong or this feature is not part of MC?
Thanks.

Mathias (Author):
So if you stand in C:\ in the FolderTree view it should expand the entire drive ?

That feature was left out on purpose, because it can have some really strange effect on the program with lockup and other stuff. in situation where you got lot of files and subfolders.

Pierre83:
Indeed, it can be dangerous used at the root of a disk (like it is currently in Windows).

But it is very useful when you have a lot of files to assign to several subfolders.
For example, consider you have 10 year foldders, each one with 12 month subfolders, each month including a "me" and "others" subfolders. (And on the right panel, xxx pictures to dispatch). Without *, you need to click 130 times on all the +  to have all the folders displaying on the left panel.

I don't know if it could interest other people.
On my side, this is the only missing feature preventing me to become a MC user.
Thanks.

I haven't yet tried built-in scripting, but what if make it possible to do expanding via scripts?

P.S. Some nodes in folder tree have "+" square although they haven't subfolders. So when you try expand such nodes, "+" just disappears

Pierre83:
Being able to expand all the nodes of the subfolders and subsubfolders from one folders with scripting could be great. I must say I'm not a programmer.
Using this feature, the + for the folders without any subfolder should disappear too then.
Thanks.
