Auto-updating folders WITHOUT auto-sorting?
Posted: 2019 Nov 30, 01:11
I was using one of my old laptops today with xplorer2 v1.8 on it. In v.1, when I change a folder's contents, the tab auto-refreshes, but it does NOT re-sort everything.
That's exactly what I want it to do! I always want to see folders' current contents, so I always want them to update automatically. But I don't want to also auto-sort everything (move files to top, alphabetize everything). I want the files and/or folders I've just added to stay together at the end, where I can keep working with them.
I can't figure out how to do this in v4.3.0.1. If I turn off "Automatically re-sort-contents after moving/copying etc." (Tools > Options > "Window" tab), it also stops updating folders' contents (removing deleted objects, adding new ones).
To see a changed folder's current contents, I must press Ctrl+R ("Refresh"). This updates the folder—but it also re-sorts everything.
Is there a way to make v4 act like v1 this way? So it automatically updates a changed folder's contents, but does not re-sort them?
I hope I've made this clear. If not, I'll try again to explain it. (I find that's often necessary here, for some reason. ) Thanks!
