Dear all, Thank you very much for such great responses. I understand the issue I had much better now. I thought I wanted folder-hook, but actually I think I want something like postpone-hook, which does not exist (probably for good reason). I now see two options, to use folder hook and 'c' to change directories, such as Andrzej is suggesting, or to use macros, such as Kevin is suggesting. I will test and figure out which is best for my set up. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Xu
