Feature: buttons to go to user-defined locations

Post by mindstormer »

Great product--made an account just to show my appreciation. Very light-weight and fast, but the fact that is portable is awesome. I was thinking of having button(s) that when clicked would either: display the contents of the folder or open up Windows Explorer to that folder. Users can choose the directory that the button(s) would open. Kind of like a low-profile "Favorites" or "Bookmark Toolbar."

Currently, in order to retrieve a file, I have to open up Everything, type in the name of the file or names associated with its path, then select the correct file/folder location. The problem is I have similarly named folders and files across multiple drives (backups and such) so I would have to browse in Everything to look for the correct one. I work with a lot content and constantly download and move files between many locations. If I can just open Everything and click a button(s) that directs me to to the content of my most used folder(s)--either within Everything or launching Windows Explorer, that would be infinitely convenient.

Let me know your thoughts!

Toolbars with customizable buttons is on my "TODO" list.
