Browse to add new values to some List Mgmt entries

Saw this over in Bug Reports, and thought it should be copied here:

I'd agree to this definitely, as I wanted to add a new value to "Move/Copy/Bkup" list, and would have liked to be able to browse to locate it...yes, I realize this could also be done via other methods, such as by clipboard (which requires other prior action), but being able to get there directly from LM would be desirable and useful, I believe.

Once again, Don has not only granted this wish...BUT...made it even much better!

Code: Select all

v5.60.0008 - 09.02.07 11:40 
    + List Management: added icons and a Browse button to all lists 
      where applicable. A missing icon means either a location does not 
      exists, or the item is no location (but e.g. a search term). 
      The Browse button updates the currently selected list item.

Now one can not only use Browse to quickly and efficiently add new entries directly to desired locations...BUT..also to verify that the current entries are still valid and not leftover junk! Another GREAT new feature!

I was a bit surprised that Don had not posted a "Wish granted - see beta" reply here so thus this post to alert all to new feature available.

I definitely agree. Its so damn handy for adding paths quickly.
But I dont know if "browse" would fit the "favorite files" list, since one can browse only folders and not files. or maybe Don can do some magic to browse files too.

Yep, that Browse button is a very nice addition

And I'm pretty sure this window ain't coming from XY but comes from API or something, and I've seen it used elsewhere and listing files aswell as folders, so it probably could be done here too.

I agree that a very similar window is used by other app's to select the file to be processed, so hopefully this ability may make it into XY as well.

It will be done...
