When working inside List Management - Favorite Folders would like to have the ability to temporarily sideline some of them. That could be by either a // or for a number of them /*...*/.
The reason being that would be a way to temporarily put some on hold instead of deleting them and having to reenter them again later .

Re: Favorite folders - a lot of them
In List Management - Favorite Folders you can press F6 to enter Edit mode, then store the bunch you got in some text file, and then remove what you don't need. That's the best I can offer for now.

While XY is not running you may change the [Favorites] section in XYplorer.ini
Use an editor or script which supports the file encoding.
The Count= entry must be set of course to the actual number of entries.

to admin - awkward but it does the job. Thank you
to Horst - Thank you too. At this juncture of life's sojourn, experience as taught never to touch an .ini unless the fate of Western Man hangs in the balance.

There is no risk in editing an ini file while the application is not running.DixieCup48 wrote: ↑14 Mar 2023 15:38 to admin - awkward but it does the job. Thank you

Re: Favorite folders - a lot of them
If you want to put in the effort, you could write a script to load favorites from a file or similar, so you could keep them external, and filter any lines that are commented out in said file before import, lookup favs() in the help file.
