IDEA: "push" alternative to "copy" in context menu

(1/2) > >>

MilesAhead:
I like to organize my shortcuts(I don't use start menu if I can avoid it) into categories.  One thing I notice is it's kind of a pain to go into the Start Menu and either drag a shortcut to my shortcuts folder(say a folder named Utils or whatever) and go get the next one etc.. (Plus for some weird reason I never figured out, if you "explore" the start menu to make it easier to drag & drop stuff you never seem to get all the folders.)

I thought it might be a useful idea to have a "push" in the context menu so that as I go through the start menu I can "push" them onto the stack... then when I'm done, I go to Utils and right click the mouse or do some hotkey and they all "pop"(perhaps an additional choice to just pop top of stack?) as shortcuts in the folder.

I'm still struggling with AutoHotKey syntax(have to spend maybe 20 minutes in the help for each line typed) so I thought I'd toss it out there and see if it's been done or is a bad idea or whatnot.

I bet it's All Users / Current User drama.


I'll give it a shot.

MilesAhead:
I read shortcutty description.  I also tried just using the Send To mechanism and it can sort of do something similar.  What I think would be ideal though is some app that while running has a stack that's invisible to the user.  When you have something highlighted in explorer or start menu, hit the trigger(preferably something that doesn't pull the mouse off what you are doing.. I'm more of a mouser than keyboard guy) and the item is pushed on the stack(with maybe some optional indicator of success like a user selectable beep tone or something.)  Then when done you can open any folder you want and pop one or pop all and just dump the shortcuts there.  Even a small limit like maybe a stack of 32 entries should be more than enough.

Maybe you want something like Piky Basket?
PikyBasket lets you select files from different folders before actually pasting them all together (copy, copy, copy & then finally paste). Integrated with Windows Explorer and other popular file managers.
