Support and Feedback / User Defined Command to go into sub-directory. **Resolved**

« on: August 22, 2023, 18:47:38 »

After reading up a bit, this may be solvable by issuing a User Defined Command rather than QuickLinks previously questioned.

What User Defined Command can be created do the following?

• get the current path of the selected pane
• append a predefined path to the existing path
• open the new path to the selected pane

My company has a project folder structure that is the same for every project.  In this case, I have the following projects as an example.
   
Here are three projects:

"F:\31\31935\3193518"
"F:\31\31936\3193602"
"F:\31\31940\3194011"

Every Project has the same folder structure and here are the typical folders I access.

\01_PM\BILLING\
\01_PM\CONTACT\
\02_COMM\MINUTES\
\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\02_PHOTOS\
\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\05_PRJ_FUNDING\
\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\06_PERMITS\
\05_DELIVERABLES\

Therefore the following are my I would set to the following User Defined Commands as shortcuts to go to the subdirectories and execute each as appropriate after navigating to the project directory.

i.e.
existing_path = F:\31\31940\3194011

BILLING         existing_path\01_PM\BILLING\
CONTACT         existing_path\01_PM\CONTACT\
MINUTES         existing_path\02_COMM\MINUTES\
PHOTOS         existing_path\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\02_PHOTOS\
PRJ_FUNDING      existing_path\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\05_PRJ_FUNDING\
PERMITS         existing_path\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\06_PERMITS\
DELIVERABLES    existing_path\05_DELIVERABLES\

Support and Feedback / Re: Why are QuickPath shortcuts opening in Windows Explorer?

After reading up on this, it appears that my interpretation of QuickLinks may be wrong. These may just be bookmarks with hotkeys. I'll leave this question up in case my original question is solvable.

Support and Feedback / Why are QuickPath shortcuts opening in Windows Explorer?

« on: August 22, 2023, 14:15:23 »

Hello,

Thank you for the great software. I have and issue with QuickPath.

QuickPath will open the shortcut by opening Windows Explorer to the intended path.
    <favitem name="Contract" type="" quickid="1"01_PM\BILLING</favitem>

Am I getting the syntax wrong? Here're are some expamles of paths I'm trying to use QuickPaths for.

While in a project folder (context below), I'll go the following QuickPaths and get the following results.

Nothing happens                        <favitem name="BILLING" type="" quickid="1">\01_PM\BILLING\</favitem>
Nothing happens                        <favitem name="CONTACT" type="" quickid="2">\01_PM\CONTACT</favitem>
Opens in Windows Explorer        <favitem name="MINUTES" type="" quickid="3">02_COMM\MINUTES\</favitem>

My company has a project folder structure that is the same for every project. In my mind this is the perfiect use for QuickPaths once I navigate to the appropriate project. In this case, I have the following projects as an expample.
   
Here are three projects:

"F:\31\31935\3193518"
"F:\31\31936\3193602"
"F:\31\31940\3194011"

Every Project has the same folder structure and here are the typical folders I access.

\01_PM\BILLING\
\01_PM\CONTACT\
\02_COMM\MINUTES\
\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\02_PHOTOS\
\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\05_PRJ_FUNDING\
\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\06_PERMITS\
\05_DELIVERABLES\

Therefore the following are my QuickPaths
    <favitem name="BILLING" type="" quickid="1">\01_PM\BILLING\</favitem>
    <favitem name="CONTACT" type="" quickid="2">\01_PM\CONTACT\</favitem>
    <favitem name="MINUTES" type="" quickid="3">\02_COMM\MINUTES\</favitem>
    <favitem name="PHOTOS" type="" quickid="4">\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\02_PHOTOS\</favitem>
    <favitem name="PRJ_FUNDING" type="" quickid="5">\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\05_PRJ_FUNDING\</favitem>
    <favitem name="PERMITS" type="" quickid="6">\03_PROJECT_EXECUTION\06_PERMITS\</favitem>
    <favitem name="DELIVERABLES" type="" quickid="7">\05_DELIVERABLES\</favitem>
    <favitem name="CHANGEME" type="" quickid="8">CHANGEME</favitem>
    <favitem name="CHANGEME" type="" quickid="9">CHANGEME</favitem>
    <favitem name="CHANGEME" type="" quickid="10">CHANGEME</favitem>
