How to call "Move To / Favorite Folder"

The option File > "Move/Copy/Backup to" > "Favorite Folder" does not have a menu id, so (according to all I know) it can't be used in a script.
Is there a way to do it anyway?

Only by scripting it, e.g. for the
Move To submenu:
Code: Select all
sendkeys "{DOWN}{RIGHT}{DOWN}{ENTER}";
#150;
If the timing is bad, e.g. {ENTER} wouldn't work...

Maybe I'm out in left field, but I was thinking MBass was looking for the user's Favorite Folders listing to come up (in a popupmenu or inputselect box) and from there you would select the favorite folder in which to move the file(s). That's obviously his place to say.

It was just an example, depending on a previous selection of backup/copy/move he could just adapt the sendkeys call to select the required submenu
If that's not enough he can always recreate the full menu

Yes, but why all that extra work when XY is already able to show the menu? I'm still hoping I can
convince Don to add an id to the Favorites menu.

In that case all other entries would need to get an id as well...

Ouch - ok, I wasn't aware of that
