Catalog Locations

[MBaas]

I am really beginning to like the Catalog - as an easy way to interact with XY, since it not only holds Files/Folder and App, but also Filters. Now I wonder if there is more?
The | for the filters is not being mentioned in the Catalog-Doc, so I wonder what else if possible there? Could I put XY-Commands (that are deeply nested somewhere in the menus) there?

Yes. You can set the "Action on click" of a catalog item to "Go to Location", then use a full-fledged script in the location box. (complex/multiline scripts? press the "Edit" button)

If you wish to trigger a menu action, first find it's command ID. hold CTRL and click Menu > Help > List all commands.
Find the menu option there, and note the ID - that is the number prefixed with #:

Code: Select all

254 | #512	View | Mini Tree | Load Last Mini Tree// for example, this command's id is #512

To trigger this option, you just put this #commandID in the catalog item's location box as a script command.

Code: Select all

#512;
