Focus Item - lost when moved

#1 Post by wjzy117 » 26.08.2018, 12:02

Hi

The problem I have is - I select a file in the right panel, and move to the left (Shift F6)

However - it isn't the focused item anymore when it moves to the left - so it's lost amongst the hundreds of files I already have there.
I then have to try to remember its name and find it.

Is there a way to keep the moved item focused?

Thanks

Marek

- Select files on the right
- Edit -> Save selection
- Move files to the left
- Select left pane
- Edit -> Load selection from file

Thanks for the response.

That's a lot of work just to move a file from one folder to another.

Is there a way to automate it - so MOVE always does it?

Thanks again

This is the first thing I came to these forums to find out about. This single mechanic would make freecommander unusable for me. When moving and sorting many files individually, the move button should automatically cause the moved item to be focused in the inactive panel. Having to re-focus on it after each moved item, or having to go through multiple clicks to move each individual item is a total breakdown of workflow.

If those changes to move button (command) could be made it is greatly appreciated.
