One Button Navigation to Access, Copy to or Move to Any One of Many Cascading Subfolders

[jinsight]

This is a three button button with the following functionality:
LMB - Go to the named path, typically a drive letter

1. Go to or drag and drop to the path

RMB - For the named path, go to any of the subfolders with a navigable list
2. List all subfolders in the path in order to navigate in them and go to one of them

MMB - Select item(s) and copy to a folder or any of its subfolders from a navigable list
3. copy a selected item to any subfolder in the path.

MMB - Select item(s) and move to a folder or any of its subfolders from a navigable list
4. move a selected item to any subfolder in the path.

With just a few buttons set to a few key partitions or major folders, you can access, copy or move one or move folders or files navigating through subfolders until you find your destination.

Here is an example button code using C:
C; Folder Options.dcf (2.7 KB)

How to use buttons and scripts from this forum

With the addition of the "includestart" keyword for "Go FOLDERCONTENT" in Opus 13.14.4, I completely reworked this button.

With just a few buttons set to a few key partitions or major folders, you can access, copy or move one or move folders or files navigating through subfolders until you find your destination.

This e new version is still a three button button but accessing the same functions is slightly different.

LMB - Go to the named path, typically a drive letter.
Can drag and drop to the named path.
Can go to the named path.
Can go to any subfolder in the named path

RMB - Select item(s) and copy to a folder or any of its subfolders from a navigable list.

MMB - Select item(s) and move to a folder or any of its subfolders from a navigable list.

Try this button; it is more powerful than the words likely convey.
