"Dual panel" and "One panel" buttons

I'd like Just Manager had "Dual panel" and "One panel" buttons at toolbar. So you could switch from one mode to another. Just one click, no need to change settings.

Thank you for Just Manager.

Re: "Dual panel" and "One panel" buttons

I'll think about it, but is that really important to frequently change the layout?

Re: "Dual panel" and "One panel" buttons

Sometimes you just focus on a single folder (view, open...), other times you foccus on two folders (copy, move). When you focus on a single folder you don't need second panel, you just want all space for your working folder.
File managers like Nomad.NET (Windows), Dolphin (Windows/Linux) and Nautilus (Linux) have this feature.

By the way, I added Just Manager to alternativesto.net.

In this case you can use splitter to remove second panel.

I tried to use splitter to hide second panel but you can drag splitter beyond width window and you loose split (this is a bug). Anyway I prefer dual/single button method. It's easier than drag splitter and later find splitter (and don't click over window border).
I think this feature is not too difficult to implement and it would be nice to meny users, like me. It's just a button, you can use it or not.

Thank you again for Just Manager.

Bug fixed, OK. But if I can't use splitter to hide or remove second panel. If I drag splitter right most, second panel still is there, with ugly tiny width.
My suggestion is just a panel layout settings shortcut. This could not be very difficult to develop.
