Hotkey to open new lister w/ layout

Help & Support
1

Hi,
I'm trying to create a global hotkey that will open a new lister with specific layout.

I'm using the command:
go NEW LAYOUT="single folder content"

But it opens the default layout, not the saved "single folder content"

When I click the "lister folder layout" in a menu that was created by the command: Prefs LAYOUTLIST
it works fine.

What am I doing wrong here?

The command you should is the following

Prefs LAYOUT="single folder content" LAYOUTCLOSELISTERS=no

That worked. Thanks!

I know this is an old post, but I am trying to do something similar with DOpus 11.19.

I want to hit F10 and it open a new lister with a Style of Notes.

I am doing: Go NEW Prefs STYLE=Notes, but it doesn't work.

I am trying to get it to open a specific folder with the viewer open on the right (and ideally zoomed in), but I am not much of a programmer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Using a Layout is probably best, if the aim is to open a new window.

You can then bind a hotkey to:

Prefs LAYOUT="My Layout"

leo,

I guess I really didn't understand the difference between a Layout and a Style.

I reread about them and followed your advice and it works like a champ.

Thanks!
