Create Button to Toggle Between Two Saved and Named Layouts

Help & Support
1

Sorry if this may have been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't seem to find a way to do this.

I have a layout named "Main" which is a single tree layout single folder pane at the root of my main drive, and a second layout named "Dual" which is also a single tree but has a dual folder layout for two specific folders.

I'd like to have a single button that toggles between them each time the button is clicked. Is there a way to do this?

Yes, with a script.

// 2022-12-21

function OnClick(clickData) {
    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    var tab = clickData.func.sourcetab;
    cmd.deselect = false;

    if (tab.lister.layout == 'Main') {
        cmd.RunCommand('Prefs LAYOUT=Dual');
    } else {
        cmd.RunCommand('Prefs LAYOUT=Main');
    }

    cmd.RunCommand('Close');
}
Button as XML 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="label" textcol="none">
