Total Commander Interface - need help

Post by *Alya »

How can I make TC display folders in the same way as when you "explore" a folder with Windows Explorer:
Left panel: tree opened at the branch corresponding to selected folder
Right panel: folder contents of the selected folder

Ctrl-F8 activates Tree view. You can also click on the tree button in the button bar. It's the fifth button from the left, by default.

Hope that solved the problem!

Thanks for your reply. I realize that I can change to a tree view after the folder already opened in Total Commander. But it gets very annoying to have to change the view every time after opening a folder! I want everything to open correctly to begin with.

I will try to clarify the problem:

E.g. I have few folders sitting on my Desktop (regular desktop from Windows Explorer - I configured TC as the file manager instead of Explorer, but I still have Windows Explorer providing the desktop environment). I double-click on one of desktop folders - that launches TC. When Total Commander opens only one of the panels is displaying contents of the folder that I clicked on. The other panel is displaying contents of some other folder - NOT the tree view.

I want the initial view displayed in TC to be:
left panel: tree view, opened to the folder that I clicked on;
right panel: contents of the folder that I clicked on (Detailed view)
