Ideas for RECENT LOCATIONS (icon submenues)

I think that a list of recent locations explored in several options, gives it greater utility power

1: Please adhere, clear history

2: option to view history for days
(TODAY, YESTERDAY, ...)

3:Organize by units (C:, D:, E, ....)

Thanks

hello, compSys.

Yesterday I made some (re)code as gettokenindex() has now a 'count' parameter, which I emulated years ago with creativity (=several hours of enduring tenacity), in an attempt to summarize three or four other concept in ways of creating a single place which ideally had:

-a simple interface combining submenus and live filtering, added with captions instead of full paths (but full paths being filter-able) and (user defined, sometimes this is useful) icons (those features are spread by currently offered xy scripting capabilities, mutually excludent);

-Special places (which break one of my concepts for this, the published xyRecents;

-Most Accessed Locations/Items (files or folders);

-'drives' button;

-a 'smart traveller' feature, which tries to Guess Users Intention (thanks, PeterH, just in time! :biggrin: ) by suggesting immediate up and down neighbors of the current location (concept present on dynaBushes feature of my XYplorer mod).

One day...
