Rapid access in folders tree or mini tree ?

[Netenvie]

Hello,
Is there a way to display classic explorer rapid access list in folders tree or mini tree displayed in XYP ?
Despite we use XYP all the time, we also use this rapid access list cause it is displayed when we save something from the web ...
So it would be very usefull to have same list in XYP tree panel ...

Thanks.

I assume from your question you are actually referring to "Quick access" that is available in the Explorer tree and open save dialogs, you can't get the exact same, but it is possible to access a quasi version of it from XY via adding the location to Rapid Access, eg. add the below entry to your "Rapid Access" list, via right clicking it in the maxi tree and going to "Manage..."

Quick access>%USER%\Recent

You may want to further filter the list afterwards to only show files/items of a certain age/type etc.

Of course alternatively you could just add that path to your mini tree if you prefer to access it that way instead of via Rapid Access.

Hello Jupe,
You're right i talk about "Quick Access".
I will try that.
Thanks

hmmm ... How to just add a path to mini tree ?

[highend]

Then it would be "burried" inside a 4 lvl hierarchy instead of just one root folder?

[Netenvie]

The problem is it seems XYP rapid access folder can't be displayed in minitree ... no ?

[highend]

Ofc it can.

In doubt, execute:

Code: Select all

loadtree "Rapid Access", 1;

Hey Highend,
ok thx, it works with that script.
Now is there a way to load windows explorer Quick access list in XYP rapid access folder ...
I tried to use manage and put "Quick access>%USER%\Recent\CustomDestinations" but it don't work very well, just point to a folder full of files like this :
1c7a9be1b15a03ba.customDestinations-ms

any idea ?

[Netenvie]

So basically i image we need to converts those files in usable links ...

[highend]

You can't convert those inside the tree

Why didn't you use Quick access>%USER%\Recent as suggested?

Other options: viewtopic.php?t=24367

[Netenvie]

I tried but it's not usable, it just point to a folder with 2 subfolders : CustomDestinations and AutomaticDestinations.
Perhaps it worked on previous version of Windows (i run 11).

It should work on Win11, at least it did last time I tried, are you using the latest version of XY? or are you using Insider Preview Win11 build?

Try entering this path in the XY addressbar instead then:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

Also try everything previously suggested with the MiniTree temporarily disabled. Show a screenshot of the whole XY window when you are in the orig path if you need further help.

Hello,
i Use last XYP version (27.00.05).
Here you can see both solutions applied (not in minitree) : https://prnt.sc/eGeJ0KpyD63P
As you can see both solutions just display folders containing windows quick access link files (instead of links) :
https://prnt.sc/alf4A-Qa_jHq

My opinion is XYP should display that in tree or minitree list without any configuration except choose if it's on or off.
Quick access is much more used today in 10 and 11.
Anyway thanks for help guys ^^

So if you run below cmd from XY address bar I assume it returns nothing in the dialog too?:

enumshellfolderitems 8;

There could be some setting in Win11 that controls it, maybe in Explorer Folder Options dialog, I can't test it myself personally currently not running WIn11. You could also try just using this path in the XY address bar (not in Rapid Access):

shell:Recent
