COPY TO favorites?

Help & Support
1

I´m not sure if this is currently possible: instead of having Opus generally asking the destination as with COPY TO=ask, to have it offering either a list of favorites or smart favorites as destination.

Something like "COPY TO=favorites list", or in other words, to make a command that copies to a generated or edited list of destination folders, from which the exact folder can be chosen.

The "select destination folder" dialog has a favorites drop-down in it which sort-of does that already.

You can also drag & drop things into the usual Favorites menu.

AFAIK there's no way to automatically generate a list of Copy-To-Favorites buttons on toolbars or menus, but you could manually do it of course.

Adding such an ability doesn't seem like a bad idea to me.

Yep, i know, i forgot to say, i´m using the keyboard a lot, so this would be a few steps more (pushing tab a few times)

Oh, that´s cool, i never noticed this. I knew it is possible with the breadcrumbs & hot paths.

Thanks. How can i do that manually? So when i push the hotkey, it would offer me a choice of frequently used folders (manually edited).

Easiest way is to put a bunch of Copy TO=xyz buttons in a menu, and give the menu an alt-key hotkey.

Thanks, Leo. I added that new menu, which i can open quickly by a shortcut.

This would be nice to have as it would save a couple of steps when doing a copy/move to folders you use a lot.

Please allow me to step in here as my question is related to the above.
Would it be possible to have something like a
Copy TO=ask$
Move TO=ask$

and.. that then starts in a specific folder,
thus allowing me to create a subfolder where the files are then stored in.

So:
move to ask
start in x:\folder
where I can create a sub-folder (x:\folder\sub-folder)
and the files are then stored in that sub-folder

i.e. an action that has some resemblance to
dopusrt /CMD Copy MOVE TO HERE CREATEFOLDER "{dlgstring|Specify folder-name to MOVE items to...: {d}|{d}}"

This is handy when having selected a number of files and want to move them, without leaving the source folder.
(right now: ctrl-x, move over to the destination folder, create a new sub-folder and paste, move back to the original folder)

Thanks

We'll implement both these requests in the next update.
