yes, but it is a long outstanding [wish] to be able to navigate between the two panes even if one pane is in archive mode. Currently I open another ZTree session as a workaround, but this is cumbersome.
To be fair: I have no idea how much work this would be, there may be a great amount of architectural change involved.
