Usage

Menu of your favorites folders & applications

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.exe or d:\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

Bring up the menu

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).

Advanced Usage

The menu:

  • Ctrl+Enter on menu item: open properties dialog for the menu item
  • Shift+Enter on menu item: open selected folder in new tab (if target application supports this)
  • Ctrl+Shift+Enter on 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.
