I can't seem to find the very basic instruction needed to create a simple button that when clicked, will go to a defined lister layout. I can define the layout but I can't figure out how to make a button to assign that layout to.
If you search the forum for layout button the first result (ignoring this thread 
) has the command you need:
[ul][li]Create button that opens Lister[/li][/ul]
If you need help creating a button, not just knowing which command to put in the button, see the Tutorials Area, e.g. the Toolbar Editing video tutorial.
I finally learned how to create a button on the toolbar but can't figure out how to make it go to a named layout. In Preferences/Layouts and Styles/Layouts I have a layout called Dailies. I presume that's adequate creation of a named layout.
I prefer to see the last viewed layout when I start Dopus but want to have a button named Daiiles that will give me a specific dual window view of two different directories.
After watching the video and looking at the results of a search for "layout button" , I'm still in a quandary. The search resulted in:
[quote="abr"]You can set your tabs, folders etc. as you want, save the layout under a specific name, like "special", then you can open that layout using
Prefs LAYOUT "special" LAYOUTCLOSELISTERS=yes[/quote]
but I don't know what to do with that nice command.
Its the little things that are always the hardest.
What exactly don't you understand?
How to put that command in the toolbar?
Or how to adapt a command that opens a layout called "special" into one that opens a layout called "Dailies" ?
I JUST found it. I stumbled into the right field, saw the "Pref" all by itself. The light went off. I pasted that command in its place, changed the name "special" to "Dailies" and VOILA!
I apologize for being so dense and thank you all for your great and patient help.
