Re: [ jEdit-users ] Suggestion: Allow favourites to be stored in a far left pane in file browser

[Mike <xan...@go...>]

Thinking about this some more I reckon the Favourites functionality could be
improved.

In the left hand pane where "roots:" is displayed, and the current path tree
is displayed.  I would recommend adding icons beneath this main root of a
different colour (say yellow), that represent the favourites.  This is much
quicker and nicer than having to go to the 'Favorites' menu.  The Favourites
could also be give names... so for example I could have a favourite called
"www" for the path "c:\wamp\www".  The "www" would be a shorthand name for
the favourite and this would appear alongside the yellow icon beneath the
"roots:"
