Direct Folders is an innovative utility that provides users with quick, direct access to their favorite and recently used folders. This application revolutionizes file navigation by allowing users to jump to deeply nested folders with ease, requiring only a single mouse click. Moreover, it enhances the standard file dialog by automatically resizing it, enabling users to view a greater number of files at once and significantly reducing the amount of scrolling needed.
One of the standout features of Direct Folders is its capability to adapt the folder view of open dialogs based on the application in use. Users can choose their preferred view—whether thumbnail, list, or details—and set a default file sorting order to streamline the experience further. This flexibility aids in personalizing how files are organized and displayed.
Accessing Direct Folders is simple, as users can double-click in empty spaces on the desktop, in Explorer, or within a File Open/Save dialog to summon a convenient menu. This menu offers quick selections for favorite or recent folders, seamlessly directing the file dialog to the desired location. Activating this feature from the desktop or tray icon will also open the chosen folder in Windows Explorer or any preferred file manager.
When the file dialog opens, Direct Folders performs several handy actions including resizing the dialog box and applying the selected view and sort order settings. Advanced features allow the program to jump to the last used folder or specified directories while also scrolling to the last accessed file, making navigation efficient and intuitive.
The ClickSwitch feature is particularly notable, allowing users to instantly redirect a file dialog to a folder already open in programs like Explorer or Total Commander, providing a significant time-saving advantage.
For users looking for even more functionality, Direct Folders Pro offers premium features such as creating subfolders in the menu, an info panel displaying full file paths, sizes, and dates, and the ability to check drive space from the Save dialog. Additionally, it allows users to set default folders for applications, further enhancing the ease of managing files.
