The Trees tab configures settings that are related to the different tree displays used in Ultra Recall.  These include:

 

Appearance

Show tree lines:  If checked, tree lines will be displayed, otherwise they won't be.

Default Value: checked

 

Show item flag icon in tree (requires restart): If checked, the status icon (if assigned) will be displayed next to the regular Icon.

Note:  If this value is changed, a restart is required for it to take effect.

 

Behavior

Scroll horizontally on selection change to keep text visible: As more information is added to an Info Database, the width of the titles in these Panes can require significant scrolling to keep them in view during navigation.  If this box is checked, Ultra Recall will scroll the selection horizontally automatically as the selection changes to maximize display of Info Item titles.

 

Expand children when going to item: If checked, an Info Item is expanded when it you go to it from a different Pane (ie. Related Items Pane).

 

Scroll item to top of tree when going to item: If checked, Ultra Recall will automatically scroll to place the first selected Info Item to the top of the tree to maximize the display of pertinent Info Items when going to an Info Item.

 
Single-click to expand an item:  If checked, Info Items will expand with a single click.  Dbl-clicking Info Items will always expand/collapse or clicking on the +/- symbol, regardless of whether this box is checked.

 

Collapse siblings when expanding an item: If checked, all siblings of the item being expanded by double-clicking (or single-clicking if the above option is checked) or clicking Enter will automatically collapse.  This sibling auto collapse will also occur for other navigation, such as selecting a favorite, opening a reminder, etc.  Even when this option is enabled, using the + button (or the right arrow key) to expand an Info Item will not trigger this behaviour.  This feature can be helpful in minimizing tree clutter.

 

Alphabetically sort when adding children to new items: If checked, new child items added to an item without children will be sorted alphabetically.  If unchecked, new child items added to an item without children will be sorted manually (order of creation).

 

Select parent item after delete: If checked, the parent item of the first deleted item will be selected afterwards.  If unchecked, the remaining item at the position of the first deleted item will be selected after deleting.

 

Drag/Drop

Auto-expand only when dragging over item +/- button: If checked, an Info Item will only auto-expand when dragging over the +/- button for each Info Item.  If not checked, it will auto-expand when dragging over any part of the Info Item.

 

Delay before auto-expanding when dragging over items:  If checked, Ultra Recall will only auto-expand Info Items after a delay while dragging over them.
