List of frequently opened folders

Hello. I'd love if there was a feature that would give me easy access to folders that I use the most. Something like a dropdown menu named "Frequent Folders" or something.
Thanks for consideration

Execute this from the address bar: rtfm "idh_menfav.htm";

Subsidiary query
There is a line of folder links at the top of my page
I was wondering if that hampers the speed of my computer
or, what use may be made of them?

I usually employ the Tree links left hand of screen to open any one of my 500 folders
Thank you

Check your settings, it would appear that every time you open a folder from the tree, you create a new open tab.
And, yes, this could certainly slow down your XY experience.

Thanks Ralph !
I'll fossick around in settings, but I am not sure what to look for exactly
PS
Good luck for the NRL final, you beat my lads from Penrith :cry:

If you're not using the tabs to switch between folders (which would be a shame), you could close all but one tab (in both panes), then set Reuse existing tabs and the maximum number of tabs to 1.
(Settings tabs and Panes/Tabs, see below).

Then make this one tab the default tab in the tab context menu, see below.

Success, many thanks Ralph.
Do not understand why it may be a "shame"
I am working with 400,000 images in 7,917 folders
I cannot understand how tabs would be a benefit
The Tree structure is the fastest I have found.

If I search for say "Mangrove Apple" in 400,000 F3 gets me there in a nanoseconds
then "go to location" and I am working the folder straight away.
Cheers

A shame, because tabs and even more so tabsets are probably the best features of XY IMHO.
Happy to hear that you have got your settings sorted.

Hello. I am receiving this error message:

Code: Select all

Could not find: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\rtfm "idh_menfav.htm"
There's no such file at all on my system. What is this supposed to do? Is there such feature already?
Thanks

Add a trailing ; and execute it again, it will open the help file with the corresponding topic

So: rtfm "idh_menfav.htm";
