Franklin said:I took a look at ShortPopUp and it does not seem vastly
different from regulars toolbars on the taskbar. I have some
folders with shortcuts I use regularly and I have made the root
folder of my shortcuts into a toobar that is squashed up so
that it has to function like a popup menu.
Of course I see ShortPopUp has a lot of parameters but I am not
sure they add up a great deal of benefit unless I am
overlooking one or two key parms.
I find that ShortPopup comes in handy in showing me the disk
structure (files, folders) on the fly in popup menu's in various
ways. Handy commandline flags are : -onlyfolders and -showonly
[extensions]
-onlyfolders enables you to have a popup menu that works almost
exactly the same as Klik-A-Dir/miniKAD.
I.e. have a popup menu of favorite folders and then, when you
select an item (folder), it shows subfolders on the fly, you
select a subfolder..., etc.
Great to start Explorer in (a nested subfolder of) some favorite
folder.
-showonly [extensions] lets you, starting in a specified folder
and optionally recursively, show on the fly only files of (a)
specified type(s), like mp3, m3u (playlists), pdf, scr
(screensavers), or what have you, which you then start with the
associated program.
Note also that there is no need to have ShortPupop start with
Windows and then have it running all the time.
Instead, you put a shortcut to it on e.g. your QuickLaunch bar.
When you click that and select an item you start Explorer or
play the playlist or whatever and ShortPopup quits.
Ok Sietse, your reply has intrigued me and I'm persuaded to take
another better look at ShortPopUp.
Can't do it right now but will make time for it later on.
