When I use the mouse to select items in the folder tree there is no delay between clicking and displaying the item content in the currently active lister.
However, if I use the keyboard (down and up arrows) to traverse the tree there is an annoying pause between selecting an item and displaying it's content in the lister.
I need DOpus to display the lister content immediately when I select an item in the folder three, otherwise it affects my productivity, which relies heavily on a keyboard-only approach, severely.
The delay length is based on the mouse double-click time (most delays in Windows are; it's really a general "reaction time" setting), so shortening that should shorten the delay.
There has to be at least a slight delay, otherwise you could not use the keyboard to go from one folder to another without triggering reads of every folder in between.
I understand that but is there a way to at least make the folder show immediately after pressing return, like many other file management solutions, Windows Explorer being among them, do? In other words completely eliminate the delay and show folder content on demand after the return key has been pressed?
Looking at Explorer, it seems to have quite a non-standard tree control now, as it does not auto-select at all and you have to push return to change folders there. That must have changed at some point as it is not how Explorer used to work (nor the normal behavior of the Windows tree control).
It might be something we can turn on in Opus, as an option, but we'll need to do some research. Some of the changes made to the standard controls for Explorer are not made public for others to use, but some of them are, or can be emulated.
