Display tree + only 1 details panel (instead of 2)
I am new to TC but have gone through the FAQ and help.
I would like to have TC display one 1 panel, same layout as WIndows own file manager.
Is this possible to set this up in TC? If so, how?
Thanks,
Mathijs

configure 1 or 2 panels
I would like to have the option to let TC display one 1 panel, same layout as WIndows own file manager.
I would go for an checkbox, display 1 or 2 panels.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Hello mgroen,
Just move the panel divider (the line between the two panels) fully to the left or to the right.

Stupid of me I didnt come of that myself . Thanks!
Re: Display tree + only 1 details panel (instead of 2)
One follow question: how can I make sure settings are saved? Each time I restart TC it's displaying 2 panels (how to change default setup)?
Re: Display tree + only 1 details panel (instead of 2)
Menu -> "Configuration" -> "Save Settings"how to change default setup
Or "Save Position" if it is only the size and position of the windows including the position of the panel divider, you want to save

worked. Thanks
Switch WinEx Layout <> TC Layout by button
You could also create buttons with internal command cm_100Percent and one with cm_50Percent
Code: Select all
cm_50Percent =909;Window separator at 50%
cm_100Percent =910;Window separator at 100%
- - -
To mimic the WinExplorer view even more, you may want to utilize menu "Show > Separate Tree..."
The internal commands used there are:
Code: Select all
cm_SeparateTreeOff =3200;Disable separate tree panel
cm_SeparateTree1 =3201;One separate tree panel
cm_SeparateTree2 =3202;Two separate tree panels
That combined commands as Buttons:
View WinEx Layout
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_100Percent,cm_SeparateTree1
wcmicons.dll
View WinEx Layout
0
-1
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_50Percent,cm_SeparateTreeOff
wcmicons.dll
View TC Layout
-1
Just copy each code and paste on TCs buttonbar.
You can also add an third command to both button:
cm_VisButtonbar2 =2944;Show/hide vertical button bar
cm_100Percent,cm_SeparateTree1,cm_VisButtonbar2
cm_50Percent,cm_SeparateTreeOff,cm_VisButtonbar2
- - -
There is also an toggle between a 50%/50% vertical panel split and a 100% single panel

I am curious - why do you install a Two-panel filemanager like TC and then don't want to benefit of the HUGE advantage of 2 panels as compared to a one-tree+one-panel file explorer

Well, TC seems to be an ideal tool for people with Asperger syndrome. I wonder how to config TC for dyslexic people who should have as little elements as possible…

petermad:
good question! Background info: I am new to TC. The thing is I am mostly using Explorer / TC in the future, to display and manage files and their properties. In my opinion (but I could be wrong), the only real benefit of having 2 panels is for moving/copying files between the panels.
And thats what I do not do that often.
So, my thought was if I only have 1 panel I would have more space for displaying the file properties (more columns).
I would like to end with a question: what is (in general) the most benefit of displaying 2 panels (in stead of 1)?

as far as I know I don't anything out of the "autism spectrum", nor dyslexic. Just want to have on screen what I need, nothing more and nothing less

... and pack and unpack and compare and synchronize and sort into directories, etc. I guess those are activities most of us do daily. If someone really only wants to view or launch files, I guess there really is not much benefit to a second panel.In my opinion (but I could be wrong), the only real benefit of having 2 panels is for moving/copying files between the panels.

Exactly. I agree 100%. I don't use compare/synchronization often...Hacker wrote: ↑2020-02-07, 11:43 UTC mgroen,... and pack and unpack and compare and synchronize and sort into directories, etc. I guess those are activities most of us do daily.
