Flatten Path from x2 parent

[dda]

I love the "flatten path" feature and am finding ever further uses for it.

I notice however, that I often have to go through the manouvre of:

• Open Scrap frame
• Drag directory from x2 to scrap frame
• Alt-Enter dragged dir to flatten path

What about an option to select a directory in x2, then hit ONE KEYSTROKE to open a new scrap frame, drop the dir in, then flatten the path in the dual pane!
------------------------------------------------------------------
On further reflection, flattening straight into a single-pane scrap frame might be even better (more natural).

good idea

LOVE the "Browse flat" in 0.0.0.36.
Were there other changes?

Ctlr+W and Ctrl+F2 as narayan reminded me
also all the clone commands from window menu now act on the selected folder so you can open the focused item on a small frame etc

PS. Alt+Space too
PPS. d-click "nowhere" to go up a folder

I'm just tidying up my use of an (MS Explorer) association of the .ida file with a "Browse FLAT" action using your /F:1 command line option.

I didn't pick up on the use of this approach on the "first pass".

I guess, as x2 moves out of Beta you will associate .ida files with x2 at install time?

[nikos]

yes that's in the plan
did you manage to get it working eventually?

[dda]

Oh yes, it's working great. (the .ida association)
I can start Scrap Frames from within 2xExplorer... not that I use it very much now.
