Funny. Could you specify your sources and provide us with verifiable data? The notion of "fictitious majority" seems to me to be biased ... or partisan.

sure, right after you provide smth more than own talks and read some logic book to stop stepping on own tail.
besides i've being using XY for almost 10 years and actively watching development here on forum, so i kinda know how second tree was wished from time to time.
but it's not a place for dispute(which you're trying to start with already second person), so as i said please just chill and maybe some day that second tree will be added.

You may want to check out Sammay Sarkar's Sticky Tree script here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20154. It's throwing syntax errors if you have Syntax Checking on, but it's a great script. The idea being: "it makes the tree panel follow the active pane -- an alternative to dual trees". I may ask Sammay in that thread to recompile the exec correcting the syntax. The errors are basically just for unquoted SetLayout("ShowAddressbar=0") or SetLayout("ShowAddressbar=1"), but they're in the compiled autoit exec. I tried to recompile, I but did not have some of the additional au3 files needed.

Whew, this thread kept living.

Maybe I'll add two "statements" just for the shizzles.

First, the sarcastic one:
Yeah, UX is so overrated!

Second, the "life is short, just solve your issue" one:
I solved mine by buying the competitor's product that has the dual tree. Case closed and no need to bother others here with my workflow issues -- or tease myself by waiting something that is not coming. But yeah, the other tree view made the workflow so fluid that I absolutely required it -- so fast to manage now when the "two states live as separate, and source-target contexts do not fiddle with each other".

1. Leave the right pane (acts as TARGET) active (as in if you just worked with the right pane to paste items or such)

2. Move your eye focus to the tree view and think "...and now I have to browse to different SOURCE view in left pane"

3. Click anything on tree view to browse your "left area aka source stuff"

4. The right pane (TARGET) changes it's location, and not the left pane (SOURCE)

5. Realize that "oh my, my intention was to manage this browsing in the SOURCE view next to which this tree view is" and curse about the forgotten activity state you left to a wrong pane when you go back and forth the 2 panes all the time

6. Repeat

Dual trees are not planned.

I came here to see if XYplorer could be configured to support [tree+files][tree+files].

Thank you for the prompt reply. I will look at other file managers.

Dual trees are still not planned.

Is it possible to move the catalog tree according to the "activation" of the left and right panes? For example, if I am working on the right pane, the directory tree is displayed on the right.
