I am impressed by the new Vista filerequests mouse-over-tree thingy.
The tree-folders that don't show is moved to be visable...
Is there anyone here that understand what the heck i ment by this?
Is there a name for this?
This i want in upcoming DOpus versions.

Hello Todde,
I do not know a word for this.
Perhaps there is a word in German.

Did you understood what i ment? That's the main thing!

I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Do you mean this?
No!
Open Windows explorer (brrr...) and go to the tree view, open some folders so that the name disapears to the right. Now move your pointer slowly over the foldername and it should move so you can see the whole foldername. Then move to the left and do the same and you should be able to see the arrows that opens up the folders again.

I think Todde is talking about how to possible address our Favorite Folder Tree annoyance —horizontally scrolling so far to the right that the user can no longer see the business end of the Folder Tree. We really do need to to discuss how to best hand horizontal scrolling in the Folder Tree.
On the other hand, I think the Breadcrumbs File Path Field will be the death of the Folder Tree.
I think the breadcrumbs is a nice feature, but it takes time to get used to it.
I like it VERY much but i keep forgetting to use it since the foldertree is a very custom way for me to brows the folders.
And all the filerequests in Vista have this nice feature that i was trying to explaine as well. So it is used in several places. But the bredcrumbs have found it's way into the filerequests as well so.... This could be a looong discussion...

Ah, that.
For anyone who hasn't used Vista in Explorer, there's a good video showing the way the tree control works here:
istartedsomething.com/200611 ... scrolling/
I've forwarded the info on how to do it to GPSoft. It's probably too late for 9.0 but it looks easy enough to do so I imagine it'll be implemented in an update at some point.
Yeah!!!
That's it!!!
Dynamic Multi-dimensional scrolling is the name!
This was a treat for a guy like me that have used the foldertree alot.
And still using it!
Todde
So!! When can we have it?
It turns out Jon had already looked at doing this but there's a complication due to a bug/limitation in the Vista tree control (confirmed by Microsoft) which means you can't have auto-scrolling and owner-draw (which Opus also uses) at once. 
(Edit: Er, you can have both, but there are complications.)
Why not make it a user option, when turing on this feature the other is diabled and vice versa....?!
