-it has the tab("get", "path", $Loop) . "\<crlf>"; parameter so each path will end with a "\", which will pop a message asking to create a currently non-available location (ideal solution for us, portable soldiers!) - only possible thanks to the freak paths handling and the create folders for non-existent locations trick.
--but when you cancel creating such folder XY pops an "scripting error" message... Can this be avoided?

SkyFrontier wrote:Currently not. This ("scripting error" message) might be important information

In that case the script writer can work around it by checking the existence with Exists and then prompting (Confirm) the user to create (New) or ignore.

Thanks for the tip, TheQwerty - hope I manage to achieve that effect (there's a good bunch of my own scripts I'd need to revise against this, but - not for now while I don't know how...).

    + Scripting: The multi-script goto-shorthand now also supports
      environment and native variables, name searches, and visual
      filters. For example:
        Desktop
        %tmp%
        <xydata>
        C:\WINDOWS\system.ini
        C:\WINDOWS\system32
        C:\WINDOWS\system32?a*
        C:\WINDOWS\system32?:a* or b*
        C:\WINDOWS\system32?:a* | b*
        C:\WINDOWS\system32?tag:blue
        C:\WINDOWS\system32|a*

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Dados de aplicativos\Local Stuff\Administrative\System Wide\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My\Certificates\|*VISUAL FILTER* (whatever value)|:props (Icon)|Admin SysCerts (caption to be displayed instead of this longish path)

However, it might be easier to get one of the existing tab manager scripts working with a simple flat favorites file.

Would you mind in building a sample code on this actually working?
I just can't see how this could be done the way you describe (sorry...).
Remember: the aim is to avoid the (now called) XYplorer Scripting message when clicking "Cancel" at the "not available: create?" dialog, invoked by trying to go to a currently non-existent location from the new file-based favs.

The thing is powerful - I used the "goto "*?tag:*"" pattern in it and IT WORKED!!!
Don, do you plan to offer custom icons and label/caption support for this one, too?

"Caption|Icon" goto "C:\Windows";
