"Recent Locations" a little hard on the eyes

[aurumdigitus]

Using the toolbar button for Recent Locations can the Drop-down List be adjusted so that it shows merely the file name and not the entire path?

Using the toolbar button for Recent Locations can the Drop-down List be adjusted so that it shows merely the file name and not the entire path?

I'm confused: I can't find a way to have recent locations remember files?

Do you perhaps mean the last part of a path (e.g. folder1 instead of C:\Users\Username\Desktop\folder1)?

My question was poorly formed and am sorry to those readers that may have been subsequently confused.

You analysis was entirely correct!

Do you perhaps mean the last part of a path (e.g. folder1 instead of C:\Users\Username\Desktop\folder1)?

This is exactly and precisely the desired result.

This approach may not sit well with some but makes sense to me.

Would not work for me (I quite often have same-named last components in different locations). But I'm curious about others...

Annother option might be to have the last component first followed by the full path:

malcheck - E:\Test\b\Pluto\malcheck

My opinion is that it is more user-friendly if left as it is currently, also the request is something that is already possible via scripting.

For example here is a quick crude example if the OP wanted to improve it for use:

Code: Select all

	$menu = "";
	foreach($line,  <get list_recentlocations |>) {
		$menu .= gpc($line, "name") . "|$line|$line<crlf>"; }
	$loc = popupmenu($menu, 7:="|");
	if ($loc) { goto $loc; }

malcheck - E:\Test\b\Pluto\malcheck

This approach would answer the request very nicely. And to keep everyone satisfied maybe give it an on/off option.
