Standard Paths

Post by Morgenstern72 »

Is there any chance I can define standard paths (eg where are my movies located)? I alwas have to scroll through my explorer and cannot even use favorites, since they are not displayed by the GUI.

That would be great :)

Just create real links instead of those stupid .ink files

e.g.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Me\Desktop>mklink /D "Movies" "X:/Movies"

I use mklink quite often, but not for trival things like this. I already have quite many drive letters and a very nice flder structure that I would like to use. I also use my favorites (Windows 7) quite often.

I just would ask for standard paths that can be saved int the preferences.

The Load Button Open Dialog does save your previous location.

EDIT:
You can drag in a text file that contains paths, and then filebot will add these paths as if you had dropped in the files.

Yes, but my previous location is most times a folder in my stadnard folder. Which means, this folder is not there any more after the renaming.

See previous edit.

Though "standard folders with standard database" really calls for a .bat files with a simple filebot call.
