hi
i use a portable version of xyplorer on a usb, my problem everytime i attach this usb to different computers its drive letter changed so my recent and favourite files and folders become unreachable (folders and file at the same usb) example: "K:\NewText.text" in first computer change to "G:\NewText.text" in the second one,is there any method to make them available as long as they are at the same xy drive?

Use a variable instead of a drive letter:
E.g.:
<xydrive>

How do you invoke this recent file window?

Code: Select all
open inputselect("Recent Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);

Use this:
Code: Select all
open inputselect("Recent Files", regexreplace(get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), "[A-Z]:", "<xydrive>"), "<crlf>", 5);

Code: Select all
$favf=;$t = getkey("Count","FavFiles");$c = 1;
while($c <= $t){$favf = $favf.'|'.getkey("Fav$c","FavFiles");$c++;}
open inputselect("Favorite Files", regexreplace(trim($favf,'|'), "[A-Z]:", "<xydrive>"), "|", 5);
Obviously you have to save settings after making changes to the favfiles list for this script to register the changes.
saving favorites relative to XYplorer is better. Like "..\..\SublimeText\sublinme_text.exe"

thanks for help,your scrip shows recent files only

is there an easy way to save favorite to relative path without the drive letter?

No it doesn't. I copy-pasted-modified a line from highend's script, and forgot to change the inputselect()'s title. Did that now.

I usually alter the ini keys directly after saving favorites. This job can be automated with a script.
