Select next file on file delete

Help & Support
1

After I delete a file, can DOpus automatically select the next file in the lister? I'm in a thumbnail view in an image folder and I'm trying to delete unwanted images. They tend to cluster together. I'd like to just keep hitting delete within a cluster to delete them one by one. Right now, when I delete a file, DOpus gives the next file a dotted outline, which I take to mean "highlighted but not selected". I have to hit space to properly select it and delete it. DOpus 9.5.4, Win7 64.

Edit your delete hotkey and add a line that runs Select THIS, like this:

delete FROMFOCUS Select THIS

(The first line might have just delete on its own. The FROMFOCUS part makes it work in the folder tree, if you want that as well.)

Be careful when you delete the last file, since you'll end up selecting the one before it then.

Thanks. This works, but only about 70% of the time. 30% of the time I still get the dotted outline. Should there perhaps be a short delay between the "Delete" and "Select THIS" to give OS the time to process the deletion? I searched the manual for delay/sleep/wait to test it, but didn't find anything relevant.

Try changing it to dopusrt /cmd Select THIS -- maybe that will give it enough of a delay.
