Freeware Folders Popup compatible with Total Commander

[JnLLnd]

As suggested, I post this info in this forum about my freeware Folders Popup, compatible with Total Commander.

Folders Popup 101

For those new to Folders Popup, this freeware is basically a favorite folders launcher, triggered by the Middle-mouse button (or other configurable hotkey or mouse button). Folders Popup is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 (available in English, French, German, Dutch, Korean and Swedish). In a few words, here is what FP is doing:

- All your favorite folders, documents and web pages at your finger tip – press the middle mouse button (or press Windows-K) *over* a file dialog box, a TC window, a file Explorer window or the desktop to popup your personalized favorites launcher.
- If your mouse does not have a middle button, you can choose another trigger in the Options dialog box.
- Hold the Shift key while pressing the mouse middle mouse button (or press Shift-Windows-K) to popup a new File Explorer window (or TC window or tab) from any window.
- The "Special Folders" menu gives an easy access to Desktop, Document, Pictures, My Computer, Network Neighborhood, Control Panel and Recycle Bin.
- The "Recent folders" menu lists the recent folders memorized by Windows.
- And much more...

Now, more about Total Commander integration in Folders Popup...

- At Folders Popup startup, the app prompts you to activate Total Commander support automatically if the software is found on the system.
- Use the Middle-Mouse button in a TC window to navigate to user favorite folders, special folders (My Computer, Network Neighborhood, Recycle Bin, etc.) and recent folders reliably and seamlessly using TC internal commands.
- In Options, choose to open new folders in a new TC tab (default) or in a new TC window.

More FP features will be available to TC users when a new TC internal command becomes available.

New in v4.2:

Hotkeys to manage favorites in Settings window
Multiple selection to manage a group of favorites in one step
More than 50 Special Folders favorites available
Universal File Managers Support with FPconnect

All these features (except *) work with Total Commander. Also, FP is now available in English, French, German, Dutch, Korean, Swedish and Italian.

Power users (sysadmin, etc.) should appreciate the new Windows Special Folders support in v4.2. Here is a list of the 50 special folders that can now be inserted in the main popup menu or in any submenu:
