10.3.1 Shortcuts

The Shortcuts Plugin allows you to jump to places within the file browser without having
to navigate there manually. The plugin works with
text file with every line containing the name of the file or the directory you want to
quickly jump to. All names should be full absolute names, i.e. they should start with a
. Directory names should also end with a .
How to create
You can use your favourite text editor to create a
the file to the player. Or you can use the context menu on either a file or a directory in
the file browser tree, and use the "Add to shortcuts" menu option. This will append a
line with the full name of the file or the directory to the
directory of the player. (The file will be created if it does not exist yet.) You can later
rename the automatically created
if you wish. Subsequent calls of the context menu will create it again.
How to use files, i.e. jump to desired places
To use a file just "play" it from the file browser. This will show you a list with the
entries in the file. Selecting one of them will then exit the plugin and leave you within
the directory selected, or with the file selected in the file browser. You can then play
the file or do with it whatever you want. The file will not be "played" automatically.
If the file contains only one entry no list will be shown, you will directly jump
to that location. The file
"playing" it, the list will be shown even if the file contains just one entry.
If the list you are seeing is from
the selected entry by pressing
possible.
Advanced Usage
Placing the line "#Display last path segments=n" (where n is a number) in the beginning
of a file will leave just the last n segments of the entries when they are shown. For
example, if n is chosen to be 1, then the entry
shown as . This allows you to hide common path prefixes.
You can also provide a custom display name for each entry individually. To do so,
append a tabulator character after the entry's path followed by your custom name. That
name will then be used for showing the entry. For example:
