I have dozens of favorites folders and files. And it is becoming overwhelming when iterates through them in a flat list.
Is it possible to organize them into hierarchical manner just like favorites in an web browser?
Also removing favorites is also problem when the favorites place is no longer there becase you can only toggle favorites when you navigate to it.

Re: How to organized my favorites
Well, it's not multi-level but at least allows one level of grouping: The Catalog! http://www.xyplorer.com/tour/index.php?page=catalogunivert wrote:Is it possible to organize them into hierarchical manner just like favorites in an web browser?
Are you not using that? You might also look at having multiple catalogs and switching them as needed as another way to gain some equivalance of hierarchy.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

You can create submenus in Favorite Folders, via scripts.
Go to User ==> Manage Commands. There is on the left side Catergory: Run Script.
Select it, and press New... => Add new command. In Caption: field, type name for submenu, e.g. Music_Folders. In Script: field press Edit, and put in this window, paths of your music folders. One line, one path. Press OK. On the right side, you can see number like this #1420.
Next, you should go to List Managment ==> Favorite Folders, and press New..., and type "Music_Folders"::#1420; (of course, you should put your number)
The End.
Now, you have submenu in Favorite Folders, but in this way, it presents only base name, not full path. If you wont full path, you should double it, in UDC, like this:
"D:\RockMusic"D:\RockMusic
