Better way to switch among Favorite locations, like a separate toolbar

Welcome to the club!
I'll try to answer as many of your requests as possible, but maybe you could've searched the forum first?

Paste this line of code in the addressbar of XYplorer, then press Enter. A dialog will popup asking to save settings. Press OK (if you wish). now a inputbox will pop up, it's pretty self-explanatory. Type "My Computer" without quotes and OK.Open New TAB to 'My Computer'
Code: Select all
::$k='StartPathNewTab';$s='Settings';$t="New tab path";$d="New tabs will open to this path";if (confirm("XY will restart to apply the setting.<crlf 2>save current settings beforehand?")==1){savesettings} $n=gettoken($k,count,'|');$c=1;while ($c<=$n){$key=gettoken($k,$c,'|');$sec=gettoken($s,$c,'|');$tpc=gettoken($t,$c,'|');$dsc=gettoken($d,$c,'|');setkey input($tpc,$dsc,getkey($key,$sec),s),$key,$sec;$c++} exit nr;

Re: Must have these features
I use both custom toolbar buttons (CTB) and the catalog. Here's the CTB that lists my favorite folders on the C:\ drive when left-clicked, and goes to the root when right-clicked:SammaySarkar wrote:use the catalog.Nima0345 wrote:Better way to switch among Favorite locations, like a separate toolbar

Notice that each catalog, when switched to, reloads the tabsets into both panes, that were there the last time I was using that catalog. This is an awesome thing. Each catalog is like its own workspace (and creates the tabsets if they don't exist yet). the only thing missing that would make this perfect, is to do the same thing with the toolbar: Have a specific set of CTBs associated to each catalog, and auto-set themselves each time I switch catalogs. This is currently possible, but not yet ideal.
And here, for example, is my "Non-XBN-Java repositories" catalog:
Most categories (such as XYplorer settings) have the go-to, copy-path, and open-in-command-prompt items, and may have additional items (like the extra ones in Sublime).
Between CTBs, the catalog, scripting, and paper folders, you have plenty of ways to quickly access your favorite folders.

Re: Must have these features
Lots of ways to switch to favorites but no one showed you the easiest one yet:
Right-click on whitespace in tree brings up a list of all the folders that have been marked as favs within XYP..
