Make a popup with a list of folders

Help & Support
1

I`m always managing files of any tipe, and most of them I move to a folder with much other folders inside, I have a idea of make a button that when I clicked, a popup must show up and give me a list of the names of the folders on that specific folder, then when I click a name move that file to the folder selected. I dont know if this is posible. but I like to make it.

can somebody help me here?

One way to do this would be with a Go FOLDERCONTENT button, though that would require you to drag & drop the files rather than clicking without any dragging (which can be a pain with a lot of files or a complex selection you don't want to lose).

The way I would do it is this:

Copy MOVE TO {dlgfolder|Select folder to move to|X:\Moo\Cow}

Change X:\Moo\Cow to be the path to the first folder within the folder you want to copy to.

When you click the button you'll see a window asking you to select the destination from a folder tree and the first folder (the one named in the command) will be selected by default with all the other folders in the same place visible below it for easy selection.

I will try it that way.
another thing, can you give me a direction to make menus and edit them, thanks

Making menus is the same as making toolbar buttons. (They're really the same thing, just the buttons are set to look different.)

Have a look at the "Toolbars 1" video in the tutorials forum to get started.

Wouldn't it be nice to have something like
COPY TO=ask,C:\MyPath
(or simmilar) where the prompt dialog would start with the given path expanded.

Use

Copy TO="{dlgfolder|Select folder to copy to|C:\My Path}"

for that. (Or something similar. That's off the top of my head.)

Great, thanks.
Just realized that you have written that already. But I did not know that this dlgfolder does exact the same. :-/
