jump to a folder

There's 2 different issues. File Open and Save Dialogs and Explorer Windows. For filling in say a file open dialog without copy/paste I wrote PastePath. The last Explorer Window that had the focus(was the active window) PastePath will remember the path. Put the mouse pointer in the open dialog or any input that will accept paste from clipboard, and hit the hotkey. The path will be pasted in.

For remembering open folder windows and reopening them I wrote FolderCache. You hit the hotkey and the list pops up.

I have a few others on my page. For those using Explorer to work most require the setting Show Full Path in Title Bar in Folder Settings.

The downloads are free for you to use at your own risk. Please read the included Readme.txt rather than asking questions here.

Explorer is a funny thing. There are so many aspects to opening folder windows. I think I wrote at least 1/2 dozen such utilities and I still don't have all the functionality I want. :)

Hello Brady, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If these are fixed locations that you go to often, then you could add links to them in Favorites in the navigation pane to make it easier to select and open them.

Favorites - Links - Add or Remove in Navigation Pane

Hope this helps, :)

If the programs do not use the Windows Dialogs that have Favorites then it may be simpler to get to the file, then drag and drop that file on the program. That is if the program supports drag and drop.

To avoid clicking through a chain of folders one can use search. Then just drag the result onto the program's window. Or if the program doesn't support drag and drop, you can right click the file then use Open With.. once the association is set up between that file type and that program then you can just double click the file to bring it up in the associated program.

If I'm not close maybe you can post a screen shot.
