I'm looking for a column type that will monitor the date and time's that I opened folders. When I need to go back to an area I was at before, I can filter by the chronological order that I was previously at. A type of breadcrumbs history for myself, if I forgot exactly where I was.
Tried out the 'Accessed (date and time)' column, but that seems to publish whenever a program accessed it. Like when a program cached or read the folder, so that doesn't help me with this.
For example, I definitely didn't go into all these folders today. But I did open a program that monitors these folders in its browser cache.
Can Dopus record the date and time's that I open folders, and put that in a column?
The accessed column is the closest thing, but basically useless in modern versions of Windows.
The operating system doesn’t track that information anymore (and it was pointless back when it did, because lots of things open files in passing, making the last accessed time meaningless).
The modified dates on shortcuts in the Recent folder are probably the best bet these days, but not everything updates those when opening files, and cross-referencing them in a script column would be required to get them to display next to the real files.
Ok. I still have the 'Recent Locations' drop down button
, the right click history on the back button, and the 'Quick Access' folder I locked as one half of my default lister, so I have it immediately when opening Dopus. It has recent files and frequent folders too.
That's close enough I guess. But would be cool to go to any folder, click the 'accessed' column and it would filter in order by when I was in those folders. Meh.
