Creating New Sub Folders inside Expandable Folders

Loving the latest version of Dopus. However, I do have a couple of feature requests (assuming they are not bugs)

When using expandable folders on Dopus 13.x., if I want to create a Sub-Folder under a highlighted (selected) row, it is created in the root of the current context. This means it must then be manually moved. The only way to directly create a subfolder is to physically open the folder you want to be its parent. Also, there is no "New Folder" option on the context menu when using Expandable Folders. It only appears when at the lowest folder level.

Please see attached.

You can add something to the right-click menus for folders that will create a sub-folder under them:

The "New Folder" button on the toolbar works on the current folder. Right-clicking the background also works on the current folder. If you're using either of those, they aren't affected by which folders are selected or expanded; they always work on the current folder, i.e. the one in the location bar.

You could also change the toolbar button, but then you'd have to be very careful to deselect any folders before using it in the normal case, which I don't think would be good.

I think the new folder should be under level 1.
CreateFolder {filepath$|..}\{file} ASK

Perhaps this button would be helpful:

Create New Folders 3 Button.dcf (4.2 KB)
Create New Folders Menu.dcf (4.9 KB)

@Leo the new Create Sub-Folder option works as expected. Thanks :+1:

@jinsight thanks, for the .dcf, but this didn't quite work. If the new file name has a space in it, it creates two folders.

An updated version of Create New Folders is in the original post in item 4 in this thread.

@jinsight Thanks. That works. However, can you advise why there is extra padding on the command text when added to the menu.

I believe the space is created by the length of the longest button-specific title in the 3-button set up.

@MmmDopus @Chuck
The padding forces the Shift text down to the next line. To me, it's easier to read than if it started after "... Edit the Name" You might need to add or subtract spaces to get the Shift text to start as the first thing on the next line.
