Consistency of file & folder selection between the left and right pane

[dash]

Hi,

TC's newbie here.

My question is very simple: If I single click on a file/folder on the left pane it will be "selected" as it happens under WE (a blueish rectangle appears). If I then single click on a file / folder on the right pane then the "selection" on the left pane disappears. The other way round is true too.

Q) Is there an option to leave the item selected on a pane independently from the what I do on the other pane?

Sorry if this question has been asked several times.

Thank you

Hi and welcome, 2dash

Me think you're looking for this feature:



Help > Config > Ini file Settings:
InactiveFocus=0
Set to 1
or RGB value (see description of BackColor below) to show cursor in the target panel too.
Accepts hex in form $BBGGRR.
Add $1000000 = dashes, $2000000=dashes/dots, $3000000=solid frame




EXAMPLE:
Edit your wincmd.ini, search for "InactiveFocus" below of [Configuration], or just add if not found. Next adjust "InactiveFocus" at your wish.

InactiveFocus=1 ;show cursor in the target panel too

$BBGGRR for Blue: $FF0000
InactiveFocus=$FF0000

Add $3000000 for solid frame:
FF0000+3000000=3FF0000
InactiveFocus=$3FF0000

Restart the TC to see the effect.




See menu "Help > About TC... " to know where your INI file is located,
or utilize menu "Configuration > Change Settings Files Directly"
If an entry not exist (because it is an default value) then just add them, here for this entry add it below of [Configuration]



HTH?

I got it.
Unfortunately that changes only the rectangular border of the item and that rectangula border it is not immediately visible. I cannot change the the entire rectangle color (also the inside) but only the border. It seems I leave the focus on the left pane...If I right remember, only one control can have focus in an application, but more than one can be selected (in a list view for example) and if the control loses the focus it gets a different color but it has nor more rectangular focus...
Just to let you get the meaning of what I mean: put two WE side by side. Click on an item on the right/left WE and then click an item on the other one. Since the first WE is no more a foreground window, the selected item from blueish becomes grayish, but it is still a full colored rectangle and it is immediately visible.
Do you see what I mean?

If I may I'd suggest something to the TC's dev: It's not a pain the ass to modify the ini file with notepad but it would be great and more user friendly to modify the ini inside TC itself with a graphical interface. In our case I could change the color from a UI color control instead of doing that by hand.

What is HTH?

Thank you very much
