Hi,
Is there a way to show my favorites in a permanent tree type arrangement rather than through the favorites window? Like the standard windows explorer favorites - always visible and ready to go?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Oli

You got the favorites under the virtual path FAV: that is listed in the tree and device dropdown and on the device toolbar
You also have it as a popup on right click on the path area.
Or when you press Star button
Or Hot key Alt+Back

Yes I found this - that helps. But unless I lock the tab it keeps changing. Still - a great feature, especially if I do lock the tab and then use Ctrl + right arrow to open the link in the right hand panel. Is there a mouse shortcut for opening the link in another tab? Middle click should work, but it seems to have no effect when the Tab is locked - only works on unlocked tabs and then the link will be opened in a new tab in the other panel.

That's a good one! I didn't know about that. Very helpful.
Or when you press Star button
Yes that's the window that pops up - also works well.
Thanks again for helping out. Great program! Second day using it today & getting used to it. I've moved to Multi Commander from another 'commander' program because it kept crashing. I'm also finding MC to be faster than the other program. Nice work!

Since FAV: is a virtual fake filesystem, But is is a bit limited, So some things in MC fails on it.
I will check If I can make FAV: fake folders better
Normally Middle button opens new folder as a new Tab (Configurable under mouse settings in Explorer Panel settings)
You can get it to open a new tab on from a locked tab that is showing FAV:
There is a settings in Explorer Panel under the "Tab" section
[.] Open new tab when going to new location if tab is locked
Also it is possible to create a script for it that take the focus item (from FAV) and then go to that in the other tab..
Create a UserDefinedCommand of type MultiScript and enter the code below. Then save the command and add a hotkey/button/menu
@var $folder = GetSourceFocusPath();
MC.Explorer.Goto TARGET="{$folder}"Then when you are under FAV: and have a favorites in focus press the hotkey/button/menu
And it will open that path in the active panel on the other side.

Yes! That works like a charm. Just what I need.

Well, I guess I don't need that, now that the other thing works. Good to know though.
Mathias, you're a magic man! Thanks very much for your prompt replies and great project.
Kind regards,
Oli
