Shortcut to Rapid Access folders

[Meldiesal]

Firstly, the new Rapid Access feature is fantastic and is already transforming a number of tasks I perform daily.

I have a number of bookmarks and catalog shortcuts that point to directories throughout the file system, but they all open those locations in the This PC node. Would it be possible to add a means to tell XYplorer to open a location in the Rapid Access Folder?

Perhaps something like "%rapidaccess%\Documents" to open the Documents folder in Rapid Access instead of "This PC\C:\Users\Current User\Documents"?

In this way, xy could convert any real path to a special path

This can be done, and I like it. However, the folder will be added to the RAF collection. So it would just be a short way to do two things:
1) Add the folder RAF
2) Go there in RAF

Code: Select all

v26.00.0208 - 2024-05-29 19:48
    + Rapid Access Folders: You now can add RAF on-the-fly by prefixing "raf:" to 
      the path you want to add. If it's not already present in RAF it will be added. Then 
      you will be taken to the (new) RAF.
      Examples:
        raf:Documents
        raf:C:\Users\Donald\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer
      Note: This is a quick shot that will probably need to be given more attention later on.

Works great! Thank you

You stated this in the beta notes, but I figured I'd let you know anyway that the examples for raf:C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Roaming do not work in the menu Scripting > Run script... that do run in the Address Bar.

Well, it's not a script.

OK, soraf() is a SC, but raf:C:\bla\bla\bla is not.

[admin]

bingo

Just so everyone knows, this minor addition makes it scriptable (i.e., it makes the raf and goes to it) GOTO "raf:F:\MP3";
