Can anyone please tell me if/how is possible to set a list of locations/folders and display all of them on a single tab, the easiest way possible? Say: load a script/function, point it to a .txt containing such a list (or copy it/read it from clipboard) and see XY listing all of them at a given tab (ideally named "Favorite Folders or something like that)?
Thanks!

This could be used as a sort of session manager, too.
Also, it is important to keep it flexible and NOT (but optionally do) attached to always read Favorites > Favorite Folders, in ways of keeping the session manager spirit.

Re: Favorite/List of Folders on a Single Tab.
Workaround:
It's a bit difficult ("jibery pokery", is that the term...? lol), but works if one don't mind in doing a few preparation steps and wasting some tags:
-select and tag (use the same tag for all!) the set of folders you want to use.
-use the "Find Tags" special button to find them all at once.
-now, select the files/folder you want to spread across several folders at once and use the
Propagate Files Across Selected Folders (selected files must be in inactive pane, destination folders must be selected too!)

Re: Favorite/List of Folders on a Single Tab.
An extra tip, if one may want to have all tagged FOLDERS as destination instead of a certain tag only:
-assign goto "*?tag:*"; code to a Custom Toolbar Button, select the folders you want and do what you need as prior described.
(Thanks to serendipity for the hint!)

Took a time but I managed to get this one:
it will display all selected Folder+Files ("items", default)/FOLDERS/FILES only and get them selected and ready for the job!
Tip: for general usage, you may want to disable ("//") the selfilter parameters.
-assign goto "*?tag:*"; code to a Custom Toolbar Button, select the folders you want and do what you need as prior described.

Code: Select all
"Shows All Tagged Items!|:favs"
goto "*?tag:*";
"Shows All Tagged FILES!|:favfiles"
goto "*?tag:*";
focus;
filter "!\|*"; //hide all folders|show files only
