You can create & edit a menu with Editor.exe. Possible menu items are:
- a folder (command:
cd <path>for example:cd D:\Documents) - executable (command:
<path_to_exe>for example:notepad.exeord:\tools\gfie\gfie.exe) (in fact, any file could be added)
Note that environment variables could be used in command, for example:
cd %APPDATA%\Google\Chrome.
You can also use Total Commander's Directory Hotlist as the menu, just
set path of TC's wincmd.ini as FavMenu's menu definition ini file, in
Setup->Configuration. In this case, You can use TC plugin path in the
command, for example: cd \\\Uninstaller\ or cd \\\Registry\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sofware
When you want to jump to one of your favorite folder, just bring up the
menu. To do this, you need to set a system-wide hotkey in
Setup->Configuration.
If current application/dialog is supported by FavMenu, it would let the
application jump to the folder you clicked. Otherwise, it would open
that folder in the default file manager (which is configurable in
Setup->Configuration).
The menu:
Ctrl+Enteron menu item: open properties dialog for the menu itemShift+Enteron menu item: open selected folder in new tab (if target application supports this)Ctrl+Shift+Enteron menu item: send path of selected item to active window
Pseudo variables in path:
FavMenu supports Total Commander's pseudo variables, such as $DESKTOP,
$PERSONAL, refer Includes/pseudo.ahk for detailed info.
- FolderMenu http://foldermenu.sourceforge.net/
- pros: easy to add simple applications (which has a editable address bar); you can have another menu besides TC's hot dirs; open source; written in AutoIt (which is very much like VBscript, syntax is not so weired as AutoHotKey)
- cons: some concepts are a little anonying, such as menu 1, 2 & 1.5; although open source, source code can't be successfuly built.
- FlashFolder http://flashfolder.sourceforge.net/
- pros:
- cons: only system dialogs supported; windows vista & 7+ not supported; you need administrator privilege to install it
- Listary
- pros: it has more features
- cons: not open source
- Direct Folders http://codesector.com/directfolders
