Make shift-double-click open new window with tree

Help & Support
1

I am on Opus 10.5.1.0
I'm trying to modify the effect of shift+mouse click when a folder is selected in a Lister. I have successfully modified alt+mouse click and ctrl+mouse click.

I want shift+mouse click to open a new lister, in a specific window position and size, and with the folder tree showing.
I am using this code:
Go NEW=240,300,640,480,tree
I have tried different options, but no matter what I put after the NEW, I always get the same result: a new Lister with the default format.
Either I am doing something wrong, or this is a bug.
Thanks for your help

That works as it should for me.

It opens a new lister, with the specified size, with the tree also turned on, and the lister shows the folder which was double-clicked.

Is it not doing that for you, or are you expecting it to do something extra?

Do you mean the folder format, or the layout of the lister? What are you expecting to see instead?

I was making the change in Settings > Preferences > Folder Tree > Selection Events (see picture). There the mod does not work. Shouldn't it work there?

When I finally found where you had made the change
Settings > Preferences > Folder Tree > Selection Events
it worked fine.

What is the difference between edits made in the two different places?
Perhaps the Help could be clarified on this point.

Thanks again!

The Folder Tree / Selection Events page in Preferences changes what happens when you single-click things in the folder tree ("left pane").

It won't affect what happens when you double-click things in the file display ("right pane"); that's what the Settings -> File Types -> All Folders -> Events (and similar events on other file types) are for.

Great!
Perhaps add these clarifying comments to Help.....

The fact that the option is listed under Folder Tree isn't clear enough?
