Path breadcrumbs option to highlight thing that is changing

Help & Support
1

I've been loving DOpus for many years now. Of all the wonders of 9, path breadcrumbs is probably the one that has most improved my workflow.

I gather this is in some way inspired by Vista. However, it feels slightly "wrong" to me.

Take for example:

My Computer > C: > Folder > Subfolder >

If I want to change folder, I hover or click on the arrow between C and Folder. Marvellous. But while I'm hovering over that, or choosing between folders, the C: is also highlighted! I'm not changing drive, so why is Folder not highlighted instead?

I can half understand that the parent is being offered as a choice alongside the children, but if I wanted the root of C:, I'd've clicked on it!

If this is how Vista does it, then I can understand why it's the default, but most of the point of DOpus is to do things in a more logical way than Windows Explorer does. I'd therefore like to be able to choose whether the parent or child gets highlighted alongside an arrow. Or indeed to choose neither - I'd be perfectly happy with just the arrow being highlighted when I hover over it.

I know I can change the spacing, and other elements, but it doesn't look like I can change this highlight behaviour. It would be lovely if I could.

You're clicking on C:'s arrow, to choose a path that is below C:, so it makes sense in some ways that C:\ is higlighted as well as its arrow (which is highlighted differently).

I've never found it confusing since if you click on C:\ itself you go to C:\ instead of getting a menu, so it's always obvious what's going on when you click on the arrow. To me anyway.

Yup, it is what Vista does.
