Quixplorer would gain significant functionality from a
location bar. The bar would enables the user to directly
type a full directory name, instead of navigation through
page after page.

    Good idea...
    We'll implement it in the next version...

    I desired that feature as well, so I added into the header.php
    file a very "duct-tape" way of doing it. It changes your global
    root directory or whatever.

    If you are running windows (like I am) you can even
    replace "/Server" with something like "d:/files/whatever"

    The only problems I have with it, are I cannot access
    my "c:", says something about permission, and if I mis-type a
    directory, I have to reload a backed up .htusers.php because
    that file holds the global root thing.

    Also, I got lucky. The way the permissions work, if the user is
    not admin, they cannot use that function. Meaning they can't
    go anywhere but in their root directory.

    If you would like the changed code, let me know.. but it is
    still sloppy.

    I took the picture off my server, and put the location bar
    picture on SourceForge.net:

    Thanks,

    It looks OK,
    but since I'm planning to completely redesign & rewrite
    QuiXplorer,
    I'll implement a location bar then...
