And if you don't want to use that, here's the alternative that allows you to have unlimited (not just 10) bookmarks from x2:
1. Make a new folder anywhere on your hard disk(s)
** For easy identification, I have named it "Favorites" But you can name it anything.
2. Open this "Favorites" folder, and press CTRL+SHFT+1 (or from GoTo menu, select Set Bookmark). This action links this folder with the single bookmark available in x2. From now on, this (empty) folder will pop up whenever you press CTRL+1.
2. When you want to create a new bookmark, drag its shortcut to the "Favorites" folder.
How: Just open the "Favorites" folder in one pane, and open the target item in the other pane. Press SHFT+CTRL, and click on the item. Without releasing either the mouse or the keys, drag it to the "Favorites" folder.
Alternatively, you can just right-click on the item, and from the context menu, select "create shortcut". It will add a shortcut to the same pane. (This method will not work if you don't have permission to add an item to the folder.) Move this shortcut to the "Favorites" folder.
3. Repeat this for all other target items for which you need to create a shortcut. Now you are ready with an unlimited number of shortcuts.
To use any shortcut, first press CTRL+1. This will load "Favorites" folder in the active pane. Then select your shortcut.
********
A small disadvantage of this method is every time you have to load the "Favorite" folder in your active pane; because it is a two-step process.
In fact, this method was also described in 2x's FAQ; but at least 2x had more "direct" bookmarks. Since x2 has only one bookmark, it has become even more relevant.
Just to clear things up... Dirkey is a generic bookmarking utility wich allows you to use the same set of folder bookmarks in all supported applications plus all applications that use the common Windows Open/Save dialogs. I've written a plug-in for Dirkey so that it will also work with xplorer2. This allows you to set a bookmark in x2 and go to that bookmarked folder in e.g. the Open/Save dialog of Photoshop (or whatever application) and vice versa.
Anyways... back to the original subject of this thread. Ki: could you send a screenshot of your xplorer2 window to dirkey@protonfx.com. I would like to see if I there is something out of the ordinary with your xplorer2.
