Directory Browsing via keyboard

Post by Saxy »

Hi,

When I'm selecting files, or browsing directories (eg. to select files to exclude from backup), the right panel does not update when navigating through directories in the left panel "when using keys".

For example, if i click on a directory, it correctly shows files for that directory on the right.

However, if i use UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT on the keyboard, the left side navigates, but does not show the files on the right.

Are you able to update this so that key navigation updates the file listing?

Many Thanks

Dan

Tree view key presses

Hi

This has been implemented with the space bar:

First press: Changes the list view. (This will be changed in the next release to work like Explorer i.e. half second delay before updating)
Subsequent clicks toggles selected and unselected.
Right arrow expands the tree.
Left Arrow contracts the tree.

Can this be setup to be done without having to press the spacebar?

Is that what you are planning on doing by saying it will work like Explorer?

Thanks

Hi Dan

Yes, half a second delay like explorer. The space bar will just toggle selected / not-selected.
