FolderHistory : Back Forward Popup + Run History position

Post by meteorquake »

Currently you can move back and forward on the search history using the commands History|Back and History|Forward

* It would be very helpful to track the folders chosen on the side Folder Bar, and have corresponding FolderHistory|Back and FolderHistory|Forward commands one could tie keyboard shortcuts to, to navigate back and forward on it without losing focus to the folder bar (but keeping focus on whatever pane one is in).

* When right-clicking the folderbar title, there could be access to a list of recent folderbar folders entered. I think a filterable popup (with shortcutable command) would be better than a submenu. Perhaps limit entries (in number or storage bytes) via a cyclical recording method.

* As an aside, I suspect "Run History..." would be better under the history menu (currently under Tools).

Many thanks!

Everything should already track each folder sidebar selection as a separate "nav history" item.

Alt Left and Alt Right go back and forward.

I will consider a separate navigation history just for the folder sidebar.
I will consider a right click menu to access the folder sidebar navigation history.

I want to add "favourites folder" to the folder sidebar in a future version.

I will consider showing Run History under History.
For Everything 1.5, they will remain separated. (History will just be search history)

Thank you for the suggestions.

Many thanks!

I should clarify that whilst Alt-Left and Alt-Right do go back and forward, they also change the search box and sort in the process.
The idea of FolderHistory|Back and FolderHistory|Forward would be that you can navigate the folder history without search box, sort or anything else changing in the process, just the folder chosen.
