Any way to hotkey the File Display Pane width?

Help & Support
1

Background. I use DO with my PC on two different setups, one a double monitor and the other a 43 inch monitor. I also have a second copy of DO which runs on a Surface. Most of my layouts have the same width for the File Display Pane, but two frequently used are different. Using Layouts doesn't work well as the Windows are obviously located in different places in each set up, though their widths are similar.

Is there a way to hotkey the File Display Pane width? Thanks.

You may want to check out Styles for this.

You can also adjust the panel widths manually with the Set DUALSIZE command.

Thanks. To be clear the listers are single comprised of File Tree, File Display and Viewer Pane. I want to allocate the widths for each in a few configurations which multiple folder formats will use. Kind of a landscape, portrait, and picture sized viewer pane with whatever is left for the File Display. Folder tree pretty much fixed across all three.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find any settings to control the width of the Folder Tree, File Display or Viewer Pane in the styles set up. I cloned the Single Style to what I wanted but no width options, fixed or percentage based. Am I missing something?

Edit. I read DualSize and it seems to work on Dual listers?

Set the Lister up how you want it and then save (or save over) the style using the context menu.

SWEET! Any way to hotkey the end state style.

Thanks.

If (for example) the style is called "Explorer" the command to activate it would be:

Prefs STYLE "Explorer"

You can put that on a hotkey via Settings / Customize > Keys.
