Folder Formats With Expanded Folders

When using expanded folders the content folder format feature doesn’t work at all.

It always just sits at “none” now. In this example it should have triggered my samples format but it doesn’t (Using vertical listers now and so my status bar disappeared and I don’t know where it went). I’m wondering how the desired format could be triggered. Multiple folders can be expanded at the same time so there can be conflicts. Either way the folder formats don’t work with expanded folders. Am I going to have to make a bunch of path folder formats?

Folder formats are determined by the folder you are in, not what's in sub-folders below it. Expanded folders don't affect folder formats.

Ok I’ll use path folder formats.

For the path type folder formats it doesn’t work with virtual libraries.
When going somewhere with the windows 10 libraries:

Virtual

Which is:

Virtual 2

I have a path format for my libraries. One is set to c:\users\me\music
So the lib://music doesn’t trigger it.

I have “treat all virtual folders as real” enabled.
Could you add a checkbox on the path folder formats for “apply to virtual folders as well” please.

Of course it won't; those are two different paths. The library may contain the c:\users\me\music folder but it isn't that folder.

If you want a path format that applies to a library, save a path format for the library.

No, they already work. You misunderstood what was happening.

The reason I showed a picture of the folder tree is because the virtual path is where it goes when clicking on it in the tree. Do I have control over this path?

You don't need to. You can create a format for the library path, as I said. There's nothing stopping you.

Instead of duplicating the same folder formats for the same places, I wonder if there is some kind of folder tree or alias redirects that could be done. “If go lib:\\docs then go C:\users\me\docs”

The file collections seems to already do this, kind of. I have a file collection for certain bookmarks. When I use the folder tree to go to that file collection it goes to coll:// but then when I use the lister to click on the folder inside it, the lister navigates to the actual folder instead of branching out within the virtual coll parent. I don’t know why the windows libraries don’t do this too, but it seems like they could / should.

I could make the five new folder formats, one for each library, but I’m worried of dopus getting confused with format conflicts too.
