I have a lister I'm using in flat mode because I'm trying to figure out which of the many files in its folder structure I need. I thought I'd copy and paste the information to a spreadsheet to keep track of possible combinations. I'm attaching a screen shot of all the files displayed in the lister for reference. What I actually get when I choose "Edit / Copy Other / Complete Folder Listing" from the menu seems quite confused compared to what appears on the screen, insofar as pasting into notepad shows the root folder as if I didn't have flat mode enabled. For example, here is what I get pasting into notepad:
Is there any way to get Opus to copy what I actually see in the lister as shown in the attachment? Thanks!
Print folder window? Sorry, but I didn't even know there was such a thing. I'll see if I can get that to work! I just assumed that the "Edit / Copy Other / Complete Folder Listing" should probably copy the contents of the lister as it appears on screen. I suppose it's a separate question, but is that not a reasonable assumption while we're on the subject?
Edit / Copy Other / Complete Folder Listing is basically a quick way to invoke the Tools -> Print / Export Folder Listing functionality with fixed settings, so you don't have to click a bunch of options to get the listing straight to your clipboard.
If you edit the menu item, this is the command that it runs:
Print FOLDER AS=txt TO=clip FLATVIEW=no QUIET
The FLATVIEW=no there explicitly turns off Flat View.
You could change the menu item, or create another one next to it, which uses FLATVIEW=mixed (or =grouped or =nofolders, depending on the mode you want) so that it always generates the listing with Flat View always on.
I don't think there is currently a way to make it inherit the current file display's Flat View mode, however.
(If you leave out the FLATVIEW argument entirely, it assumes FLATVIEW=grouped, even if the file display isn't in Flat View mode. That must be why we made the default command explicitly specify FLATVIEW=no.)
