A Dr. File Finder Favorite -- IM+ All-In-One Messenger
I work with a lot of files and one of the most frustrating things is
having to navigate to the same folders over and over. And having to do
this because Windows took me to where it want to go. I don't know
why Windows Vista Ultimate can't remember where I've just been,
but it doesn't seem to. If you have this problem then you're
going to want to look at PS Hot Folders, by PS Soft Lab I'm going to be
buying some copies of this baby. It lets you get past all of the
nonsense so you can easily Open, Browse, or Save As. You
configure the program to work with the folders you want. As you work
with the program you can refine your categorization because it isn't
cast in stone. In testing it out I started out using just some basic
folders I use for Editorial here on Tucows and the SIAF.
Now, the program puts an icon in the system tray
and in the open, browse, and save as dialogs of every program. In
the screen shot, taken on my computer, I highlighted, in yellow, a
little orange square that's in the Save As dialog in my text editor.
Clicking on the orange square gives me instant access to the folder I
want to get at. So, it doesn't matter what folders Windows have
presented me with. One mouse click and I can see my Hot Folders
another click and I select one and my document is save where I want it
to be. I love it. I more than love it. I tested it in multiple programs
including the Boxer Text Editors, Word, Excel, FastStone Capture, and
several more. In each one there was the little orange square in the
dialogs that took me to the folder I wanted. Yes, you can also
use it from the icon in the system tray, but I liked using the one in
the dialog. Now, if you want, you can even assign hot keys to
your hot folders and this worked well also. One of the key things is
that you must read the welcome tour! That tells you how to go
about setting up your groups, adding folders, assigning hot keys, and so
on. So, read it. You'll find that once you get going with the program
you can go in and make modifications to suit yourself. I went in and
added some separators between different groups of folders. This, in my
estimation, is a very clever product and I'm making it a Dr. File
Finder Favorite and those are few and far between. This is a program
you have to try. Wow!
