• Rapid Access Folders
  
  Rapid Access Folders let you focus on the areas of your file system that are important to you by moving them to the top of the folder tree. With just a few drags and drops, you can see distant locations up close and side-by-side, and create your own customized folder tree with only the branches you need, in the order you want. Shorter paths, less scrolling, no more irrelevant information cluttering your view. Makes your daily file management a whole lot easier.
   
  
  
  
  Creating Rapid Access Folders
  First, make sure Rapid Access is visible in the folder tree by checking it in Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List | Select Items....
  
  If you are using Mini Tree, you can add the folder by going to %rapidaccess% via the address bar.
  
  There are several ways to create a Rapid Access Folder. Probably the most intuitive one is to drag a folder onto the Rapid Access node in the tree:
   
  
  
  
  
  The folder is automatically added to the bottom of the RAF section, and "Rock" can be used here and anywhere else in the application as a shorthand for "C:\Users\Donald\Pictures\Screen\Rock":
  
   
  
  
  
  
  Inside the Rapid Access section you can dive down into subfolders just like normal:
  
   
  
  
  
  
  Other ways are pasting from the clipboard or using commands in the right-click menu of Rapid Access. See the Help for details.
  
  Managing Rapid Access Folders
  The right-click menu of the Rapid Access node offers a Manage Rapid Access Folders... command. Here you can fine-tune, rename, and rearrange your RAF.
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Further Remarks
   
  • Rapid Access Folders can point to local paths, network paths, paper folders, and virtual folders.
    
  • Rapid Access Folders support environment variables (e.g. %TEMP%) and XYplorer native variables (e.g. <xydata>).
    
  • The folders under the Rapid Access node are not sorted, so you have full control over their order (via menu Tools | List Management).
    
  • The Rapid Access Folders can be inline-renamed in Tree and List.
    
  • The Rapid Access Folders can be removed directly from Tree or List by pressing DEL. You can also remove them via their context menu or via Tools | List Management | Rapid Access Folders...
    
  • The number of Rapid Access Folders is not limited.
    
  • The toolbar offers a "Rapid Access" button. Clicking it takes you to "Rapid Access", the right-click menu has some useful stuff.
    
  • There is a scripting command raf() that lets you automate RAF management.
