Add My Computer, My Documents and MyData to Drive Selection
Add My Computer, My Documents and MyData to Drive Selection
I would like to add to Bearded Kirklander request of "Ability to GO UP One Additional Level In File Panes". I 100% agree.
In addition, I would like to be able to select 'My Computer', 'My Documents' and 'My Data' in addition to the drives. When attached to many network drives the 'My Computer' view is needed. As an XP user, all of my work files are under 'My Documents' and 'MyData'.
thanks

Thanks for that wkrekik.....should have looked further than I obviously did!wkrekik wrote:You have direct acces to the desktop folder in the "folders 2" toolbarAdd the Desktop folder and you have THE killer Windows Explorer replacement
BTW has anyone tried Q-Dir? I have been using both and like both a lot. Only thing with Q-Dir is that it does not have tabs at the moment which I would really like to see. However it does have color coding in folder listings which has defaults set but these can be changed and new ones added for different file types. I find this very useful in quickly identifying files in a folder without having to click the type tab to sort by file type.

I have tried QDir. A very good software, with a nice quadro view, but lot of FC smart features are missing ...
FC doesn't have default set for colour coding, but you can customize colours of different file types in settings>colours and the result is the sameHowever it does have color coding in folder listings which has defaults set but these can be changed and new ones added for different file types.
Thanks again wkrekik. Can I trouble you for two more quick questions?wkrekik wrote:I have tried QDir.

1. How do I get additional file information column headings such as Date Created etc?
2. Do you have a workaround to get a My Computer view?
Thanks.

Setings>custom columns (more details here)1. How do I get additional file information column headings such as Date Created etc?
I don't have a workaround to get a true My Computer view, but you can get quick access to all the My computers folders and drives on your FC toolbars by several ways.2. Do you have a workaround to get a My Computer view?
1. Display My documents icon on "folders 1" toolbar.
2. Clic on "system directories" icon in the "folders2" toolbar: Desktop, My images, Shared documents, etc. will appear.
3. Settings>Drives : show network as drive
4. You can display any folder of your choice in the "favorites tols" toolbar. It's not obvious so read my intervention in this post
Thanks heaps wkrekik.
