Favorite Folders - how?

Hello,
I am back to EagleFiler after leaving DevonThink and the switch to the expensive subscription licence model.
I am about to import all documents from DevonThink to EagleFiler. So far so good.
I have a few folder I use very often. Now I wonder how to “save” these as favorite. I have not found out how to or is there a workaround? How do you create favorite folders for an easier access without several clicks through a folder hierarchy.
Thank, Claus

This specific feature is planned but doesn’t exist at present. Some potential workarounds:

  • You can flag or otherwise tag the favorite folders. To jump to the folder, click on flagged (or type Command-Option-6) to see the list of favorites. Then click on the one that you want and press Command-Down Arrow (Contents of Record) to view that folder.

  • You can use Copy Record Link to save links for favorite folders. Paste them into a rich text file (either in the library or not) or add them as favorites in LaunchBar (or your favorite launcher). You can also drag the text of a record link to Finder to create a .inetloc bookmark file that will open that folder in EagleFiler.

Thank you, Michael. I decided to choose path 1. I created a Smart Folder showing “flagged” items.
