set focus to a folder

<< < (2/3) > >>

Not sure about a MultiScript function since they are kind of disconnected from the UI.

Actually I need this because I made user defined commands(multi scripts) for going up (going to parent) and going down (opening a folder)..and assigned left arrow key for going up and right arrow key for going down since I want to navigate using keyboard. I extended the functionalities of each so that when going up or going down the sizes of the subfolders of the destination folder will be automatically calculated..what I did is upon opening the destination folder..I used 'Select All' command then used 'Calculate folder size' then 'Unselect All'..both work quite fine but the problem is I set the 'Remember selected files/folders when changing path' but because of 'Select All' and 'Unselect All' commands, the focus goes to the top when I go back to previous folder..there's no problem with 'going up', the problem is in 'going down'..maybe it would be better to see the scripts so I may post them in 'Scripts'

If you used commander styled setup you would not need to do select/unselect, since by default no files/folders are selected and then all folders will be scanned when called. :)

However.

Instead of requesting a command to set focus,  a command like "MC.Explorer.SizeFolders ALL" would probably fit better.. ?

thanks for the tip!

'MC.Explorer.SizeFolders ALL' is a very welcome addition....!Can't wait!

Clarification: What you mean by 'MC.Explorer.SizeFolders ALL' is the sizes of all the subfolders of a directory will be calculated regardless of     selection. That is, even if there is only one folder selected, upon invoking this command the sizes of the folder selected and all other folders in the same directory will be calculated.Is that how it is?

It seems that calculation of folder sizes starts from top..when I tried calculating the folder sizes of my Drive (C) and sorted the folders in descending order so that Windows folder, the largest and takes longer time to calculate its size, is at the top, the other smaller folders didn't have their sizes displayed except after Windows folder size was displayed..if the calculation for all the sizes is parallel, then their sizes should have been   displayed ahead of Windows folder...
