Thanks for your suggestions.

Also it would be nice if when a non-mutual folder is accessed (in the warning that appears) there could be an option to simply go back to the last mutual folder and not turn off synchronization; perhaps a button that just says [go back].

; Program: WinSCP 

; Issue: Sychronized Browsing - Always "No"

; Workaround: 

;   1. Wait for WinSCP commander interface window to exist

;   2. Wait for confirmation prompt for creating local folder 

;   3. Always deny creating local folder 

;   4. Return to now-descended parent folder on remote

;   5. Re-enable Sychronized Browsing feature



DetectHiddenText, off  ;will not search hidden window text (faster)

DetectHiddenWindows, off  ;will not detect hidden windows (faster)



Loop {  ;continue indefinitely

; WinWait* is event-driven hook implementation consuming 0% cpu while process is stored in RAM

; WinTitle=Confirm AND ahk_class=TMessageForm AND Text=&Yes is not unique to WinSCP, so minimize interference by at least wait indefinitely until WinSCP Commander window exists

WinWait, ahk_class TScpCommanderForm  

;wait until confirm prompt window exists and has focus where WinTitle=Confirm and ahk_class=TMessageForm

WinWaitActive, Confirm ahk_class TMessageForm, &No, 600   

ControlSend, TMessageButton2, {Enter}, ahk_class TMessageForm  ;deny creating local folder during synchronized browsing

SendInput, {Alt down}{F2}{Alt up}{Up}{Enter}  ;on remote server, traverse back to parent

SendInput, {Ctrl down}{Alt down}b{Ctrl up}{Alt up}  ;re-enable synchronized browsing

}

What if there was an option in the session settings (in the section where you set the local and remote directory); to automatically synchronize browsing when a new session is opened.

Also it would be nice if when a non-mutual folder is accessed (in the warning that appears) there could be an option to simply go back to the last mutual folder and not turn off synchronization; perhaps a button that just says [go back].

Right. But there's nothing to test yet.

I have tried it. It works. But probably not perfectly yet. It works only if the last components of both local and remote path is the same on startup. So it won't work if you ended in the root on the synchronization, where the condition may not be satisfied.

It should be enabled if you have exited WinSCP while having it enabled.
