Return to root folder

Help & Support
1

Hi guys,

I use the option of double clicking on the file display background to go to the parent folder. Can I add a command to "Alt Double Click" to take me to the root of the folder no matter how deep I am in the folder structure...?

e.g. c:\Test\Help\Folder\New\

Double Click takes me to c:\Test\Help\Folder
Alt Double Click takes me to: c:\

Regards

Roly

According to the manual Go ROOT should achieve this. However, it goes only up one level.

I've since searched the manual again and I can't find any reference to the ROOT command!!

...anyway, is it at all possible to assign commands to alt double clicking in the lister?

@blueroly:

Create a User-defined Command in the Customize dialog -> Commands tab, and make it run the following commands (or something similar):

@keydown:none go back up @keydown:alt go root
Then in Prefs... go to the File Displays->Options page and switch the Double-click on file display background option to use the Run a defined User Command option, with the new user command you just created above. Not sure why the go root command is mis-behaving for abr... works here.

Awesome, that works perfectly. GO ROOT worked for me as well. I thought this wasn't going to be possible but once again Opus comes up with the goods. There's seemingly nothing it can't do!

Now, any chance of a button to tune my car engine?

Cheers chaps.

SetAttr ENG TUNE :grin:

It looks like it works differently on certain locked tabs. On a non locked tab it works as expected, as i found out.
Maybe the base of a locked tab is regarded as the "root" in that case?

SetAttr ENG TUNE

No no no! I tried this and if doesn't work. I did this yesterday and the only thing that worked (maybe I shold have used a locked tab but, hey, twas the wife's car) seemed to be

GO /GARAGE EARLY SetAttr ENG TUNE (FORCE:DO NO HARM AND DO NOT CHANGE THE TIMING BELT AGAIN AFTER ONLY 10K) GO BACK UP GO /GARARGE KEYARGS "PAYGARARGE $1500"
