I often stumble upon paths in List Management that no longer exist because of delete or rename. is it possible to strike out the paths in List Management for easily locating dead paths??

My audioplayer XMplay also gives option to revive the dead paths as long as the name of the file/track hasnt been changed. See image below:




This wouldnt work in LM with paths alone, one needs filename and extension too i guess. Anybody have similar problems??

I definitely could see this applying to Address bar, History, Excluded and Move/Copy/Backup! A function to verify existence of and then remove dead entries would make sense, as I also have various junk that gets left in some of these...

However, when it comes to LM, the feature I'd prefer be implemented first is the ability to move from one list to another (via Next/Prev or similar) without having to go back up to toolbar and reinvoking dropdown. I'd use this more often of these two.

This could indeed be a nice feature for lists such as:
Address Bar & Go to
Favorite Folders
Favorite Files
File Associations
Find Files: Location
Find Files: Excluded Folders
History
Move/Copy/Backup To
Files on clipboard
and maybe even: Servers in My Network Places

And I beleive the ability to switch from one list to another is somewhere on Don's list already, but if I recall correctly he said it would need a "reorganization" of how LM works internally.

Exhuming an old wish here. I still think that removing dead paths would be a good idea especially in history which has a limit of 32 items. This problem becomes more glaring after I disconnect an external drive and see that there are several dead paths in my history which are not needed anymore. And it clutters the toolbar dropdown list.

Another thing: Was there a reason why the history limit was set at 32? I dont seem to recall.
