I do almost everything with keyboard shortcut. I cannot figure this out. Appreciate your help.
In lister windows, I can use cursor to move up and down the folder/file until the one I wanted is highlighted. Then I can hit Enter to select to open.
But in the Folder Tree pane, if I do same thing, whatever the folder which is highligthed, or "selected" automatically opens in the Lister pane.
This is annoying since I cannot browse without gettin stuck at each and every folder.
how can I navigate in the Folder Tree as same as in the lister pane?
Since the viewing of the contents in the panes ist some basic functionality, it takes a moment, until the pane reacts. But basically i can browse through the folders, the way you want (normally i don´t use the three view, though). Do you mean that lag, that can occur?
The folder tree should not trigger a folder to be read until you stop moving through it.
If moving through the folder tree is triggering every intermediate folder to be read then you probably have your Windows double-click time set extremely low. (Or you could be moving through the folders very slowly, of course.)
(At least, I assume the standard tree control bases its delay on the double-click time as that's how most similar delays are calculated.)
Thank you for the reply.
ABR: I don't want the tree to react until I hit Enter...
For instance, when I'm moving the cursor over network drive (which is not connected now), it tries to read and I got stuck there until it gives me the error message, then I can cancel the message and go on.
LEO: I changed the mouse double click time to slowest... It still reacts. Is that because I set the Windowｓ to "select with one click" ??
Opus uses a standard tree control for the folder tree and that's not how tree controls work in Windows.
That should only happen if you move the cursor over the network drive and then stop moving it; if you're just passing through and keep going it shouldn't happen.
Not sure if that setting affects the tree control. Presumably the same thing happens in Explorer and/or most other programs that use trees (e.g. regedit)?

Hum... my Explore works just like that. I move the cursor in the tree pane, right arrow to expand the folder, left arrow to contract (?), enter to select. So I expect Opus to do the same ;(
It's windows 7.
For instance, I move the cursor over the "computer" and immediately hit right arrow to expand the folder.... so that I can select "c:". The cursor got stuck at computer because it tries to open in the Lister pane and I have to wait until the folder expends.
I had to confirm it with my own eyes but, you're right, the tree in Windows 7's Explorer does behave that way.
(I should learn to stop using Explorer as an example of a standard application. In Vista and, more so, Windows 7 it's become completely non-standard with custom controls/behaviour for almost everything. It used to be a good example. It does still use the standard controls but often in undocumented/private modes these days.)
I don't know if that mode of tree selection is documented/supported and available to 3rd party apps like Opus but it might be. If you want it, send GPSoftware a feature request and they should look into it to see how feasible it is.
(If it's not documented, there's always the chance that it'll be removed from the tree control in Windows 8, or just be very difficult to work out how to enable it, but who knows... It can't hurt to ask GPSoftware, either way.)
