Hello! In my case i have opened my desktop folder in dOpus and i prefer to use Details view. So if i want to right-click on empty place i cannot. It's automatically open context-menu of the file. Not folder.
For example in default Windows Explorer i can right-click outside of file selection (left side as i wish).
Maybe i skipped some extra settings for it or i don't know how to figure it out.
Thanks in advice
You can select something other than "Full row" in Preferences / File Display Modes / Details / File selection / highlighting style or right-click the status bar to access this menu.
I created a simple custom column a while ago to use as a blank spacer which you can find here: Blank / Spacer Column
Like @lxp mentioned though, you'll need to still change the file selection mode to not be Full Row.
Thanks guys.
But it's not helpful honestly.
Okay I can choose something except "Full row" setting.
And it gives me opportunity to click outside of file but I want to select files by clicking everywhere on it. So strange that is not implemented feature which is useful a lot in default Windows Explorer.
Any other solution or tips/tricks?
The white space on the right also works. "Full row" may remain enabled.
P.S.: What's wrong with using the status bar?
Yea I missed this myself but like lxp mentioned, if you weren't aware the status bar which is the bar at the bottom of the window, is right clickable and shows the same menu options as the lister background:
White space can be used but i don't have it because i'm using small window length almost always. So this white area is not visible for me.
About status bar. Another problem. If i want to drag&drop some file into folder i can't do this by dropping file on status bar.
you can check a short video which i record to explain my sitation^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AUC3-oxYoQ
You can drag to the folder tab, folder tree, location bar...
Turning off Preferences / File Displays / Mouse / Allow drag and drop onto files and folders is another option. Then drags go to the current folder, even when over sub-foldes/files, unless you hold Ctrl, Alt or Shift.
Looks like Leo mentioned this while I was typing but for the drag and drop you could drag files onto the breadcrumb bar:
Only other thing I could think of would be some kind of potential future feature of an option to make certain columns exempt from full row clicking
For what you're describing in the video, you can :
Any chances to use little empty area at the left side of file/folder as empty area of lister in any future updates? Like Windows Explorer does?
Now I will try to drag&drop on tab/location-bar.
But it will take some more time and more mouse precious instead of dropping at left side everywhere.
You wish you had more space before filename but many others like to display many columns to get a lot of information so this is obviously a trade off ...
Plus you have a widescreen that could allow for a larger lister where you'll get space for larger panes, plus you have the ability to go for up/down dual instead of left/right, plus you have four ways to reach your goal (folder tree on the left, breadcrumb, tab label, drop on files), not to mention that if you enable expandable folders, you get some extra space (for the foldable icon) on the left.
To me it looks like this is gonna be fine and you should be able to get used to one of those many solutions...
Well, once a few folders get expanded in the tree that space is gone as well... so you'd better go for some target training 
"Full row" can be toggled via command:
Set FULLROWSELECT=toggle
Assign it to a hotkey and switch modes based on your workflow - whether you're selecting or dragging.
Hmmm. Interesting.
Any events in Opus script language to determine if something dragged and hovered on lister area?
Like:
if (file.HoverLister) {
Set FULLROWSELECT=toggle
}
I don't need more space before. I need to use already existed empty area in the same way as Windows Explorer.
Because this empty space already here in Opus but it can't be used as i need.
To always drop files into the tab's folder path and not into any of its folders modify the event with a script command:
function OnDragAndDrop(scriptCmdData) {
var cmd = scriptCmdData.func.command;
cmd.deselect = false;
cmd.SetDest(scriptCmdData.func.desttab.path);
cmd.RunCommand('Copy MOVEWHENSAME');
}
