It's my new mod of the great script Easy Access to Favorite Folders by Savage.

It's really a convenient tool and I've added some new functions to it.

Here's the list of new functions.
- Hotkey2 to show the menu everywhere.
- Support for more applications (such as 7zfm, winrar, filezilla...etc.).
- Holding Ctrl and click an item to open a new menu which contains the subfolders of that item.
- Recent menu for recently opened items.
- Submenu.
- Menu icons.
- Open Selected text (folder path, file path, URL or registry path).
- 'Add favorite' GUI.
- Get path of a folder in explorer, dialog and command prompt, and add it to favorite.
- Get win classname (to add support for more applications, see config.ini).

(the executable)It will create a config.ini file at the first time you run it, which contains the descriptions to the config file and some examples.

I want to check out your script, but I get an "Error at line 649. Line Text: [Hotkeys] Error: This line does not contain a recognised action" ...

Any suggestions, because it looks like a interesting "update" to Savage fine script

hmm.. i think you've copy both the ahk script and config.ini into one ahk script.
you should save the config.ini part in another file named "config.ini" and put it in the script folder.

Well this does not happen, the error dialogue comes first, so I guess you're right somehow, what to do?

Thanks for these enhancements rexx.

The original script by Savage is one of the most useful tools I have on my work computer. I made some small modifications to it because I am using a different file manager (Servant Salamander).

I'll work on implementing my changes into your script to benefit from these cool new features!

this only works when using the compiled file.

if you want to use a script, you have to put the script code and config.ini code in two files, note that there are two code sections, don't put them in a same file...

Oh I see what you mean, thanks I'll try to work it out.

He he I got it running, thanks a lot, and sorry for being a bit on the slow side, I hadn't noticed the additional config code, but now I'm up and running.

One last question, I'm now running the script, and happily getting addicted to it, although I would like to loose the tray icon, or replace with another than the default. #NoTrayIcon doesn't seem to work!

In the config.ini file.


If you want to replace the icon, you can use the menu command.

Add this line anywhere in the autoexecute section.

Beautiful..Thanks!

谢谢。
Thanks。

If i want to add a url with a equal sign '=' in it, the script has a problem with the equal sign in the config.ini file.
In the config.ini file you see something like this:

The line is being cutt-off on the second '='.
How can i solve this?

Total Commander is very popular.
To use Folder Menu in it you need to add:
1)TTOTAL_CMD class to Config.ini\OtherApps
2)this part in f_OpenFavorite:

PS. Adding this to original script would be great.
