Hello, I have tried the new "Expandable folders" feature, I find it convenient to use Alt + Down to expand a folder, however I was expecting to be able to collapse the folder with Alt + Up while selecting a file inside the folder. Currently, it doesn't work, we have to go up and select the parent …

We plan to change the built-in command/hotkey to do something like this. Probably in the next beta.

The solution from this thread should work: [image] Go EXPANDBRANCH=Collapse on files Opus 13 Public Beta ALT+UP to collapse a branch only works with selected folders. I would like to change it, such that it also works with selected file(s) in folders I want to collapse. …

thanks! I have tried to use: Go EXPANDBRANCH=collapse PATH="{=Right(filepath,1)=="\" ? filepath : Parent(filepath)=}" however it works only when a file is selected, not when a folder is selected. Do you have another trick ? :slight_smile:

This should collapse the selected expanded folder. I guess you want it to collapse a collapsed folder's parent, right? Have a look here, all whole script for that purpose (and more): [image] Expand Folders Command Buttons/Scripts Expand Folders is a script command for Di…

[image] lxp: This should collapse the selected expanded folder. I can't manage to do it here. See example below: [image] On level 1 file, it collapse, but on Level 2 folder, it doesn't do anything.

That's odd. Are you sure you have set up the hotkey correctly? Works fine here:

I think it will be trying to collapse the selected folder ("Level 2 folder") which is already collapsed, but Megosu is expecting it to collapse the folder above it ("Level 1 folder").

[image] lxp: Have a look here, all whole script for that purpose (and more): @megosu FWIW, I can do that by using : ExpandFolders COLLAPSE=parent when selecting a subfolder or a file.

good example, you have the same issue as I have: we can clearly see on the video that you couldn't collapse while selecting the child folder "Plugins". You had to go up and select the parent folder "ConfigFiles" folders in order to be able to collapse. However, you were able to collapse when the c…

Isn't this what I suspected you wanted? [image] lxp: I guess you want it to collapse a collapsed folder's parent, right? I don't think that's possible, because there is no way of detecting with the evaluator whether the selected folder is expanded or collapsed. You would need a second comman…

in simple terms: I thought it would make sense to be able to collapse the folder from any direct child item (be it a file or a folder). Is it possible with a simple set of commands ?
