New Folder 2 2.4.2.0

(1/5) > >>

MilesAhead:
New Folder 1.0 Just a simple Hotkey to create a New Folder on Vista or Windows Seven.

Please note Requirements at the top of my hotkeys page:
http://www.favessoft.com/hotkeys.html

Default hotkey is F7 Function Key.

To create a new folder, Desktop or an Explorer Folder Window should be the "active window."  On Windows Seven, it just sends the Control-Shift-n hotkey built into Windows Seven.  On Vista it either provides an InputBox to get the new folder name, of if Desktop is active it just uses macros to use the built in New=>Folder in the context menu.

You may change the hotkey using the .ini file.  See AutoIt3 help file for hotkey syntax.
The readme has a link to the AutoIt3 download page if you want to use a complex hotkey instead of changing the function key number.

MilesAhead:
New Folder 1.02 Small changes in the code.. error checking etc..

The Readme now has a link to a page with detailed AutoIt3 hotkey information.

MilesAhead:
New Folder 2  2.0 A rewrite of New Folder program.  Now it uses an AHK hotkey handler exe.  This provides much smoother pass through of the hotkey when neither the Desktop nor an Explorer Window is active.  Application handling of their shortcut keys should be normal.

The main processing is still done with an AutoIt3 app. I may use this approach for AutoIt3 unless they improve the hotkey handling.  AHK just handles it more cleanly.

the most handy solution is to create a new subfolder folder when you double click on the empty area of a folder view, imo

That means moving your hand from the keyboard to the mouse and then back to the keyboard - definitely not very handy.

The best is a decent filemanager, but MilesAhead's solution is decent for those who stick to explorer.
