-- each arexx script has a header which I took from one of original opus arrex scripts --

1. unzip it

2. copy all files to RAM:

3. in dopus top bar menu go to: BUTONS -> LOAD and choose RAM:__buttonBank

4. when the buttons are on the screen click on LISTER (empty lister will show up)

5. click on the "square" button in lister's toolbar (2nd from left) and write some name (better without "spaces" at the moment) and press RETURN/OK - that name will show up in the lister - repeat that as many times as you want

6. double click on one of above entries - that lister will become empty (new title and new path will be set)

7. open standard dopus lister, navigate to a random folder, select many entries and click ADD FILES in the toolbar on desktop - the files (not a folders) will be added to the empty lister.

8. go up by clicking 3 dots (1st icon in the lister) and choose another entry by double clicking on it - repeat step no.7

9. now everything is set up, just keep navigating between 1st level (the one with your entries) and 2nd level (files) using doubleclick (on 1st level) and 3dots button (2nd level)

If you are lucky the cache will work right away - if not just close the lister and open new one (there is no need to repet all above steps since the whole structure is kept in the file and will be read next time you open the lister, but you can always add new entries)

There is no need to use CLI and type: +LISTER FINDCACHE .... - to do this just type the name of the folder in the lister's path and pres Return. If the path is found the cache will show up otherwise the path's string will change back to original (meaning: no cache found)

Also you can say if there is a cache in the memory just by observing how long the directory is being loaded - so it is better to add more then 30 files to it.

Sometimes the cache exists (lister's content changes when typing new path) but it is not found when double clicking the same entry/folder (???)

Very often the cache is there and the next time you enter its name it is gone.

Thanks for your interest.
