Renaming items under the Folders tree

Post by danilo »

Hi,

The folders I add to the Folders tree (using the option in Settings) are automatically assigned the path name, which prevents accessing them easily by typing in the first letters. Is there a possibility to assign a custom name to these folders so to enable their easier navigation?

Thanks

Not quite sure what you're wanting, but you could map a local folder to a drive letter in Windows.

Hi,

I want to add separate entries for favorite folders in the Folders tab. When I do so I'd like to keep the names of the folders rather than having the full path as the title. If I have the name of the folder I can navigate to it by typing in the Folders window.

A favourites branch in the folder sidebar is on my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, please consider a bookmark:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks....
  • Change the Name to: Explore F:\Audiobooks
  • Change the Search to: /explore F:\Audiobooks
  • Optionally set a keyboard shortcut.
  • Click OK.
