      Pure, unadulterated awesomeness. Found bug in Explorer (UNI): Context menu "Add to Favorites" for a drive root (not a folder) = crash...but it can be added manually...though not through the UI, only by typing in.

      One easy, yet invaluable feature request, if i may. (this will make my life, and hopefully others', much easier):

      Add the ability to replace the top pane with Favorites instead of Explorer...and keep the bottom pane as-is - displaying contents of the selected favorites location. Having favorites in a different tab makes it very inconvenient to use - i have 9 drives, and i need to use only the last one in the list, so most of the space is wasted and never used. I can add the drive to favorites which filters out anything i dont need...the ability to just click the favorite and see the content below would be ideal and efficient. Please implement.

      regards,
      Leon

      ....or perhaps (instead?) the ability to set a working "root" folder that can be saved with the session...and filter out everything else in the explorer view - this might actually be much closer to the behavior i'd like to see, now that i think longer about it. - cause every project typically has a root folder, and often little need to interact with other directory structures...but make an unhide ability (mappable to shortcut key combo maybe) that would show you the full tree if needed for quick operations.

      thx,
      Leon
