List of frequently opened folders

[kajuzas]

Hello. I'd love if there was a feature that would give me easy access to folders that I use the most. Something like a dropdown menu named "Frequent Folders" or something.
Thanks for consideration

Execute this from the address bar: rtfm "idh_menfav.htm";

Subsidiary query
There is a line of folder links at the top of my page
I was wondering if that hampers the speed of my computer
or, what use may be made of them?

I usually employ the Tree links left hand of screen to open any one of my 500 folders
Thank you

Check your settings, it would appear that every time you open a folder from the tree, you create a new open tab.
And, yes, this could certainly slow down your XY experience.

Thanks Ralph !
I'll fossick around in settings, but I am not sure what to look for exactly
PS
Good luck for the NRL final, you beat my lads from Penrith

If you're not using the tabs to switch between folders (which would be a shame), you could close all but one tab (in both panes), then set Reuse existing tabs and the maximum number of tabs to 1.
(Settings tabs and Panes/Tabs, see below).

Then make this one tab the default tab in the tab context menu, see below.

Re PS: Not into NRL, so your team could have won the trophy for all I care.

Again, Thank you for extended advice Ralph.

Success, many thanks Ralph.
Do not understand why it may be a "shame"
I am working with 400,000 images in 7,917 folders
I cannot understand how tabs would be a benefit
The Tree structure is the fastest I have found.

If I search for say "Mangrove Apple" in 400,000 F3 gets me there in a nanoseconds
then "go to location" and I am working the folder straight away.
Cheers

A shame, because tabs and even more so tabsets are probably the best features of XY IMHO.
Happy to hear that you have got your settings sorted.

Execute this from the address bar: rtfm "idh_menfav.htm"

Hello. I am receiving this error message:

Code: Select all

Could not find: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\rtfm "idh_menfav.htm"

There's no such file at all on my system. What is this supposed to do? Is there such feature already?
Thanks

Add a trailing ; and execute it again, it will open the help file with the corresponding topic

So: rtfm "idh_menfav.htm";
