Best way to get to a folder from Plain View - Files display

#1 Post by bill0255 » 01.01.2016, 03:11

I have a large digital collection of comic books, e-books, audiobooks, music, etc. Each has its own folder under the root folder (i.e. Comic Books, Audiobooks, Audio)

For comic books, each major title has its own sub-folder and each Volume is in its own sub-folder under the major title.

To make sure I don't duplicate buying a book or music I already have I use Ctrl-B (Plain View - Files) from the main folder to display all of the files underneath and then I use Quick Filter as a fast way to check to see if I have a particular title or issue. It's a major time saver over going through each folder manually and is faster than using the Search option.

If I need to save a new title I need to get to and open the containing folder. Right now I use the icon that's in the History bar that copies the current folder path to the Clipboard (also known as Ctrl-Alt-Ins) and then I copy that path into the "Go To Folder" option.

I couldn't find any more direct, or faster, way to get to a files folder from Plain View - Files but if there is one that I missed please let me know.

Thanks,
Bill
