Directory menu improving

Post by *Sosna »

Currently to add directory to hot dirs menu I have to add it first, then open "Configure" and then move it to make it subitem in submenu.
Maybe mr. Ghisler can add menu item "Add current dir HERE" to every submenu automatically, like in Opera bookmarks (Add bookmark here)?

Support only, if this gets added via context menu (RMB),
so it doesn't consume space in the list.

Exactly (I know, there isn't a context menu yet, maybe there's hope for it). Choosing "place here"
after clicking on a subdir could place the actual dir in the subdir (at the end),
after clicking on a normal entry it could place it in this position (moving the clicked one down).

I'm not sure if Windows allows to show a popup menu above another menu...

A simple alternative could be to introduce an edit mode for the directory menu where only the structure along with the "add current dir" entry is shown.
It could be activated with a new menu entry in the root of the menu or with an extra command.

It does, just right click on start menu programs submenus and IE favorites menu entries :wink:

I mean that menu item "Add dir here" could be placed under separator like Add current dir and Configure in root HotDirs menu. I don't think it will take too much space, it's only one string line, but it can speed up adding and configuring HotDir's menu.
About mouse - I don't like using mouse in TC, but if womeone needs it - well, why not?
