Files to favorites via commands

Favorites

• The Favorites system now allows files to be added to the list as well as folders.
  • Clicking a favorite file opens the file (except if displayed in the tree, where clicking it will read its parent folder and select the file).

I’d like to request an enhancement to the Favorites ADD command. In the latest update, adding files via drag-and-drop in Preferences or the Favorites menu opens them immediately. However, using Favorites ADD PATH={filepath} on a selected file still navigates to its folder and selects it. Could you add an optional argument i.e. type to Favorites ADD so files added via command open directly? Thanks for considering!

Thanks for the report, this has been done for the next beta. (No need to specify the type manually, it'll detect it automatically).

Greetings, i'm bringing this to your attention again because I found that when you type a command with the specific path of a file using a folder alias, it treats the favorite like a folder.

When you add the favorite via drag and drop and then you replace the path with the one using the alias, this doesn't happen, as you can see in the video.

Thanks in advance again.

Which version are you running?

Thanks.

The alias in the PATH argument is what's causing the problem. We'll get that fixed, but for now you can make things work by specifying the full path without using the /desktop alias.
