If I understand what you are saying, that seems to happen for me when I do any of the following:

[ul][li]Click the "Previous" button on the left of the file display toolbar[/li]
[li]Click the "Up" button on the left of the file display toolbar[/li]
[li]Press the backspace key[/li][/ul]

but this is on Opus 12.


i am on 12 what setting is this ? i might have it turned off

Maybe you mean the setting in -> preferences -> folders -> folder display -> highlight previous folder on Up/Back for n seconds?

cool that was it ... it blinks now ... any way to make icon change colour too ? i not seeing any options for it
atm it just blinks and is underlined it's better then it was hahahh

There's also Preferences / Folders / Folder Behaviour / Select previous folder when going Up which will select and scroll to the folder, instead of making it blink, which is often easier to see.

For whatever it's worth, I don't have either the preference indicated by abr nor the one indicated by Leo checked. Yet, I get the behavior I described above. No blinking, no underlining, no time limiting. The previous folder from which I came back remains selected indefinitely.

Are others here talking about actions with the folder tree on? I don't use the tree.

If you use "Go UP BACK" and the parent folder is in your history, because you double-clicked inside it to get to the child folder, then it's like clicking the Back button ("Go BACK") and you get the cached view, with the folder you double-clicked still selected.

Thus the Preferences setting is often redundant, but it matters in cases like where you jumped to a nested folder directly, then go to the parent without ever having visited it before.
