Links to Windows Folders

[kevina]

Currently, there are 3 ways to create an Info Item linked to a folder exists:

1) Use the Import Wizard (File | Import ...). Choose A folder, then specify the folder, and check Don't import files (just create a link to the folder in Ultra Recall check box).

2) Create a new Folder Info Item. Add the Url Attribute to it, and assign the folder path as the value. If *folder is in the Tools | Options | Browser | File Extensions to display in the internal browser view extension list, the browser view will display the contents of the folder (in the Item Details Pane).
Note: The browser feature works with any non-document type of Template.

3) Create an Document (or Info Item derived from the Document template). Assign the folder path to the Url Attribute.

For any Info Item with a Url Attribute populated with a valid folder path, Item | Open Document (Ctrl+J) will launch Explorer at the folder...

Option 3 above does basically what you are requesting (except the hyperlink isn't labeled ".. open linked folder" but "...document" instead)...

We will add a request to our list of potential new features a way to change the default for dropped folders (to prevent adding the contents but the linked folder instead).
