Create drop down menu with folder shortcuts?

Help & Support
1

I have configured a number of toolbar buttons which are shortcuts to particular folders (using the GO command).

Say my folder layout is like this: Drive Z: |-- Video | |----TV | | |------------------Drama | | |------------------Factual | | |------------------Comedy | | | |----Movies | | |------------------SD Movies | | |------------------HD movies | | |------------------3D Movies | | | |--- Other | |-- Audio |---etc

The above is only an example - I have a number of folders I would like quick access to and I swap between them all the time.

I might toolbar have buttons for Drama, Factual etc but I am running out of space on the toolbar. Is it therefore possible to create a "button" or other toolbar item which is a link to say "Movies" on the above example but which has a pop-down menu showing SD Movies, HD Movies, 3D movies etc which allows me to select and GO to one of them?

Or is there another mechanism to achieve the same thing?

You can do this with the Go FOLDERCONTENT command. For example, Go Z:\Video\Movies FOLDERCONTENT.
See the manual for a full description of how you can configure the command.

Though not exactly what you asked for, I find aliases really amazing for doing this.

you can just type /cdDra cdHD or /cdFac to get quickly to the location you want to go and are not limited by space.

just type /, followed by cd (this is just my convention, you don't have to use it) and the first few letters of the rest of the alias. e.g. cdD, a poplist shows up that allows you to select which alias you want if you can't be bothered typing the rest. if you make the names unique enough, you don't have to type more than 4 letters. :slight_smile:
