Add Target of shortcut to Properties tab

In the properties tab, for shortcuts, could you add the target, maybe after the "location" field? It would be easier than having to right-click and choosing "properties" all the time.

TIA

You can hover over filename on list and see it via info-tips...have you tried that method?

Yes, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it shows the text of the shortcut, sometimes nothing. Is there a setting somewhere that changes the behavior? (And why do some shortcuts show nothing while others show the tool-tip?)

Check you settings in Config>File Info Tips...that is where a lot of that resides.

I checked under Tools > Config > File Info Tips, and everything is checked except for "Show MP3 info tips". Under "Add the following extra fields if applicable:" everything is checked also, including shortcut target. As you can see from the JPG, only the name shows up for me, and on some shortcuts nothing shows up. This is a new Win7 setup, so it shouldn't be overly corrupted yet!

Thanks your efforts.

I GOT IT FIGURED OUT! :D You have to hover over the icon to show the tool-tips.

Hovering over the name only shows the name in a tool-tip if the if the column isn't wide enough for the full name (I knew that, just a bit dense today!)

Thanks.

But that's only because you presumably have checked "Show info tips only when hovering file icon"... :wink:

Thank you! The word "only" tripped me up. :roll:
