Directory Marks

To open the Directory Marks window, chord the mouse (simultaneously press both the LMB and RMB) anywhere in the Directories window. Use Shift+Space from the keyboard. A PATHMARK.INI file will be created if one does not already exist.

Directory Marks Window

The Directory Marks window may be used to create a tree structure of frequently used directories to assist in directory navigation. Using Directory Marks generally only requires a mouse chord in the Directories window to open and a single click on any directory already in the tree to effect a directory change.

There are two types of data in the Directory Marks tree;

• Group entries - These are user named collections of path entries to assist in organizing a logical tree-like presentation. There can only one level of groups, meaning a group cannot be part of another group.

• Directory path entries - These must each be a valid directory path. Path entries are always elements of a group. There is no limit to the number of directories that may belong to a group other than noted below.

Note: There is a limit of 1000 entries, including both group names and directories.

Context (Popup) Menus

Group Context Menu

Selecting a group name and then RMB clicking will cause the Group popup menu to appear. This menu has all options and includes two that are not included the PM pulldown menu;

• Hide - which hides the PM Menu.

• Expand/Collapse All - which will expand or collapse all elements of the DirMarks tree. This expand/collapse state is saved and if Expand All is the selected option, all elements are expanded on open. Otherwise, only the selected group is expanded on open.

Selecting a directory and RMB clicking will cause a reduced subset of options to appear in the popup menu.

Adding A Path

To add directories, select the Group in which to add the directory, then using the RMB context menu, select Add Path. Then click (or double click) on any directory in the current Directories tree in FS/2. The FS/2 drive tree may be changed if needed. A single click will put the selected directory in the Edit window. Press Enter to add that directory. A double click will add the selected directory without the need for pressing Enter. The path is inserted at the bottom of the group. Continue to add as many directories as desired to the Group without re-initializing anything. To add a directory to a different group, first select that group and go through the menu and select Add Path once again.

Inserting A Directory

To Insert a directory, select the directory to insert after. Then select Insert Path and use the same procedure as adding a directory.

Adding or Inserting A Group

To add a Group, select any group and then select Add Group from the menu. Type the desired group name in the edit field and Enter. If Insert Group is selected, the group name will be inserted after the selected group.

Saving Changes

All saving is automatic after a change in the Directory Marks tree.

If the Expand All option is disabled and the Dirmarks is closed window with all groups expanded, they are restored that way on next use. If not, the group expanded on last close is expanded on next use.
