I am not aware of a current script command that could be used when starting up that would ensure branch mode was off. That or some kind of script command that could be specified in the command line when starting up via /script option. Having a command line option to force Branch View on/off would work. Other than opening XYplorer in same folder as active when exiting, the only other time where it MIGHT make sense to stay in Branch View upon opening is when there IS a "Permanent startup path" specified, and user exits XYplorer and happens to have that same path active with Branch View on. For example, I tried opening XYplorer with C:\ on command line, and it still wanted to go into branch mode if that's where i left it. So, I think if "Permanent startup path" is specified, disable Branch View.Īnother scenario where I would want it disabled would be opening an instance of XYplorer with a path specified on the command line. So, it seems like exiting with folder XXX and with Branch View enabled, and startup in folder YYY, the behavior should be similar to just navigating to YYY, where the Branch View is automatically disabled. So, it appears you already have the concept that Branch View doesn't make sense when going to a different folder than the one that currently is displayed in Branch View. If I am in folder XXX with Branch View on and I navigate to some other folder, say YYY, via the tree or favorites or address bar, Branch View setting is automatically switched off. If so, then what about if "Save settings on exit" is checked and "Permanent startup path" is not specified behave as you do now: startup as things were left: same folders/tabs and branch view setting.īut if "Save settings on exit" is checked and "Permanent startup path" IS specified, then just open the specified path with Branch View disabled. More specifically, I want to run XYplorer open to C:\ with branch view off.Īm I correct that this will only be an issue if "Save settings on exit" is checked? Now I am not posting to have the escape feature more responsive, I am posting to see how to work around this so that subsequent instances of XYplorer don't have branch view on when they start up-regardless of previous session. Since, I'm at the root, Branch View causes some churn and starts scanning files (escape to stop not very responsive-and I resort to killing XYplorer via task manager)Īm guessing this is because I have "Save settings on exit" checked, which I do, for numerous reasons. It wants to come up in Branch View as seen in address bar c:\? /:flat Have XYplorer Permanent startup path set to C:\ So I figured I would always have it just open to the root directory C:\ Since I'm all over the place folder-wise throughout the day, I found it disorienting/distracting to open on last folder, because that's often not where I need to be. I usually have so many other app windows open, I don't want XYplorer window always up, only when I need it. I am in and out of XYplorer all day, constantly closing and opening the app. I only now just discovered this, because I never had the permanent startup path set, and it would just open wherever I last left it. SUMMARY: I don't always use Branch View, but if it's on when I exit XYplorer it wants to be on when I start up again.
