Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Instant Folder Access (no matter how deep you buried it)
« on: June 27, 2006, 05:52 PM »
I can't offer help with Google Desktop as I've used the free version of Copernic for years and it works great with Firefox (and everything else!). But I would recommend that to you.
But that is NOT the program I desire. I need to open a folder full of files, not a specific file. You're right; my desktop search program works fine for that.
Check out FDwin as a good start. But it could be so much better.
My needs are more like this: I want to open an Explorer window to this folder:
C:\Backup\Firefox\Profiles\1exs2nw5.default\colorzilla\palettes
I type in just this: palettes
FDwin gives me a list of the (few) folders that contain that string. I click it and there's Explorer, open to that folder.
Now that I'm used to it, I can't believe how long it takes other people double-clicking this and double-clicking that just to get to where they want to be!
Anyone?
