Run script on 'Mark-toggle Favourite folder'

Post by Techworks »

I use the "Mark-toggle favourite folder" rightclik menu, which is great, but that only works in XYPlorer. I want these favourite folders to be available in all my other appliciatons File open/save dialog boxes.

So what I want to do is create a script that runs when I toggle the favourite folder menu command and that either creates a shortcut to the current folder and puts in in a spcial folder I can setup under My Documents, or deletes the shortcut if the folder is being unmarked.

This way, all my marked folders will only be one click away in my other applications File Open/save dialog boxes.

I looked at trying to add it to the left hand pane on Office 2007 File open/Save dialog boxs but this appears to be saved in the registry rather than a physical folder. The Windows standard "Favourites" folder is also dodgy as it is linked to the users local profile which I dont user. So I'll use a folder "\My Documents\_XYFavourites"

I think I can write the script to do the create/delete, but how can I make it trigger off hte right click menu?

Cheers

That should be possible sometime in the future via Custom Event Actions (CEA) (The XYplorer Roadmap)

Maybe!

- if you would open an new thread for this request (with an appropriate subject)
- if you provide some more infos:
* are this lists in the same folder as the files
* you want to work on one or many lists the same time?
* how are the format of this lists? I remember they can be different due the settings while creating them.
  For example: are the path relative or absolute.
* can you provide an short example how this lists looks inside? (the header and the next few lines of files info)

No sorry. There is never a estimated release date. It's done when it's done. But maybe Admin Don can say more.
