I'm guessing you might learn tricks along the way which might mitigate not having this feature, but being able to quickly toggle this kind of thing seems useful. So far it's the only thing I've run across favoring XYplorer whereas the bulk of the program organization favors Opus. The Mini Tree helps you see the forest through the trees when the directory structure gets long or deep. Either Opus doesn't do this kind of thing, I have options set wrong or it might require an add-on. What I'm seeing is basically similar to XYplorer with Mini Tree Off. The right pane show Opus with the options chosen which I thought would be closest to the XYplorer Mini Tree On. The center pane is with XYplorer having Mini Tree ON and Tree Path Tracing On. The left pane is the 'normal' XYplorer view with the Mini Tree option Off and Tree Path Tracing On (the Tree Path isn't material to the question, but it help highlight what I'm talking about). Is there some add-on which gives you this function or have I missed a configuration option? The more simplified view appears very useful especially when the nesting of folders get deep or you just have lots of folders at the same level.Īttached is a composite picture showing what I'm talking about. I can get Opus to show the path traces, and I really like the option to show the multiple paths at the same time, but can't find anything like 'Mini Tree'.

The one thing I've not been able to configure in Opus is the XYplorer equivalent to 'Mini Tree' view in the Folder Tree which can be used both with and without tracing the path to the folders and is easy to toggle on and off.

For many functions I'm figuring out the equivalents and in general I'm leaning towards Directory Opus on first impressions, but still want to live with both products for a couple of weeks to really understand them at a competent beginner level. After several hours I'm getting the hang of each product and can make it do some of the basic operations. I'm at the start of evaluating Opus and XYplorer.
