Open Folder in a new lister & specify the default Style

Help & Support
1

I normally work in dual display mode, but I switch to the Single display style temporarily when I'm viewing a lot of files. I would like to keep the existing lister in tact and return to it when I'm done opening and working with a new single display lister.

I would like to create a Context menu item, similar to the 'Open in new Folder Tab' that would allow me to 'Open in New Lister'. I assume this could be hard-coded to open by default in the 'Single' display style.

Perhaps, there's a better way to do this, but my instinct is to reach for the right click in this situation.

Have you tried using the

Go NEW

command in a context menu?

Or alternately

Go NEW {s}

to open the new lister in the current source folder.

If your new lister wants to open in dual mode you can add the NODUAL argument to force it to open in single display mode.

It took me a while to find the Context menu (File Types > All Folders > Edit > Context Menu > New) but, adding the following command did just what I needed:

Go New=notree,viewpane,nodual

Thanks, John! I don't think I would have figured this out on my own.
