Select which panel to open a favourite

#1 Post by glynrdav » 08.01.2024, 15:11

In the previous version, when selecting a favourite, an option to allow to which panel it would be opened.
I can't seem to find this feature in the latest version and I am sure I have missed it.
Any help please?

TIA
Glyn

There is an option "Use left/right panel"
which controls if the Activ/Passiv or the Left/Right pane is configured.

Thanks for this but that it not what I want to know.
When I select a folder (directory) from the favourites in the left panel and I want it to open on the right panel, i don't see an option to do this. It will always open in the active panel
Any ideas please?

There is no such option, and there never was one.
You can define a favorite using a command line to start FC with the desired folders like this
freecommander.exe /C /L=path /R=path

Do you mean favorites tree (heart icon), or favorite tools (star icon)?

When using Favorites tree, it's possible to set path for left and right panel, so you can set the same path and it will be opened in both panels, or you can set 2 different paths and these will be opened in the left and right panels.

In Favorite tools, there's an option %RightDir% for Start folder, which is not working, possibly it's a bug.

Anyway, I tried option %RightDir% for option Parameter and it works good, folder is opened in the right panel, also the option %InactivDir% works good.

If it's still not working for you, please explain it more.
