GuestThanks, [@HarFanG], I found a resolution, though I have no idea how the feature got turned off.
I got two trees ONCE on one computer, and it would never come back no matter what I did – [ Ctrl ][ Shift ][ F8 ] toggled ONLY ONE tree on and off, on and off, on and off.
I got two trees ONCE on another computer and IMMEDIATELY saved the configuration in hopes that I can export it around, maybe explore the ini files to see if there’s a unique setting in the one that worked and had it’s settings saved – [ Ctrl ][ Shift ][ F8 ] toggles TWO trees on and off, one, two, none, one, two, none.
However, I could find NO predictable way to make two trees happen on the one that fails, and I could not find it in oMega instructions or references anywhere, and there is no place I could find in the control menus to cause it to appear.
I JUST tried [ Shift ][ Tab ] on the failed oMega Commander, and it caused the missing tree to appear, so I immediately saved the settings.
Then, tapping [ Shift ][ Tab ] again does NOT make the tree disappear, so I have no idea where the tree went or how, but it’s back, and now [ Ctrl ][ Shift ][ F8 ] toggles TWO trees on and off, one, two, none, one, two, none.
We’re apparently looking for a cause and a fix for broken oMega Commanders, not instructions for non-broken oMega Commanders.
Hey, oMega, is there a “reset to defaults” so we can try again from scratch?
Regardless, because there is no discrete set of controls for setting the presentation of oMega Commander, I still have no idea how each panel got so different – they are different – how to reset it, and I still click on things that then disappear, and I can’t get them back, it’s way too noisy and random, many visual items have no tool-tip or right-click explanation.
Everyone has their own needs and resources, I’ll try to remember this has Internet shortcuts for some neat Internet tools, and perhaps I will try oMega Commander again a few times to see if I can get it stable and if I can resolve the meaning of things that just don’t translate well – I must remember that “view” is for file contents, not changing the way the program looks … but I’m not sure how to change the way the program looks from within the settings, I think they expect us to draw on the screen, to drag things around.
Thanks for the opportunity to explore this and share.

GuestThanks for tryout. Been happy with Q-Dir v8.98. Can set 1-4 Trees. Guy keeps updating it along w/ bunch of other useful softs.
Oct. 29 latest. I just use 2 side side panels. Loads of options.Peter Middleton
GuestHow does this software improve on the wonderful (and startlingly similar) Total Commander file manager that I have been using for over a decade?

Asking the same questions here. But two decades. Windows Commander was its name at that time. Replaced Norton Commander in usage (but different programmer/editor of course).

GuestHarFanG, please would you tell us how you got two explorer panes to appear, each with its own tree lists?
Sure.
I went to the official website, downloaded the .zip version, the SoS serial worked.
First launch => 2 explorer panels appeared.Easy peasy.

GuestTotal Commander, FAR, Norton Commander and others are wonderful file managers for their time and purpose.
To get an idea, please check oMega Commander’s Features page. The majority of mentioned there features are missing in Total Commander, or we believe their implementation is more powerful/flexible in oMega Commander. And that’s not an exhausting list.
Looks like posting direct links doesn’t work in this forum, please navigate yourself and sorry for the inconvenience.

GuestIn response to [@HarFanG] who was asked to explain how to get 2 directory trees displayed, answered “… Sure. I went to the official website, downloaded the .zip version, the SoS serial worked. First launch => 2 explorer panels appeared. Easy peasy …”
But that’s not how YOU got 2 directory trees, that’s how the default shows 2 file list panels.
As explored in prior posts, there is no menu control to select 2 directory trees, there is only a mini-icon between the file-list panels, or a keystroke pattern, that supposedly toggles tree display on and off BUT it failed on at least one computer, but no reason was found, and the problem has not been duplicated ( mostly because I don’t care and have moved on ).
We’re here to pitch in and help each other, nto delittle or ridicule each other, hence my willingness to revisit older threads to update the conversation for all to see.
Thanks for exploring this and sharing.
