Go to a specified folder using a User Button

[LindaLooUK]

I'm struggling to know what syntax to use to jump to a particular directory when left-clicking on a custom User Button.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks!

goto "<path>";

Wow! That was quick. Thanks very much.

What a waste of toolbar space.
One button for one dir.
Why not adding your dir(s) to the favorite folders.
One button, many targets.

Or is the goto part of a script ?

I take your point Horst but I don't find the Favourites list very easy to view as it displays the full path rather than an alias - perhaps I've missed something!? Also, I don't mind having a few buttons in the toolbar dedicated to my most commonly used folders as I find it quick and easy to jump to certain directories with just one click.

You might want to look into Tabsets which allows you to set up various sets of commonly used locations to switch between with one click.

You don't have to look at folder paths. You can provide a title for your folder as well as an icon If desired. Like this for example,
"Photos|D:\Graphics\Icons\photo_camera_03.ico" goto "H:\Pictures\";
Go to Tools > List Management > Favorite Folders. Any existing favorites will be there. From there, click on edit mode (the pencil at the bottom) and you can easily ad or edit the Favorites. Use a format similar to this below.

Code: Select all

"Home [C:\]|:home" #1401;
"Photos|D:\Graphics\Icons\photo_camera_03.ico" goto "H:\Pictures\";
"Wallpaper|D:\Graphics\Icons\wallpaper_08.ico"goto "G:\Wallpaper\1920x1080\";
"XY scripts|D:\Graphics\Icons\xy.ico" goto "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\";
"AHK scripts|D:\Graphics\Icons\ahk.ico" goto "D:\Tools\AutoHotkey\AHKscripts\";
"Downloads|D:\Graphics\Icons\down_box.ico" goto "G:\downloads\";

All you will see is when you click on Favorites is the titles like Photos or Wallpaper for example.

Thanks for the input guys, this is really helpful. I shall go away and have a play with the suggestions as they sound great.
I clearly need to spend more time exploring the features and extensive customisation options that are available.

I'm really loving this software by the way.
