Bookmark and Hot Directories
X Northern Captain Bookmark is very useful, simple and helpful
feature. It was constructed for storing Hot Directories - directory
names that are used by a user very often. Bookmark can store up
to nine Hot Directories including AFS archives and FTP sessions.
These nine books are shown in the right side of the panels. Each
book displays its number and type of storing name (DFS - disk file
system i.e. directory; ARC - archive; FTP - FTP session). To see
detailed information about book just move mouse pointer to it and
popup help shows you a full path name. Remember that if you were
using plug ins, xnc would not display type of the each bookmark.
Drag and Drop feature allows You easy add/delete or switch to any
book you requiring.
If you want to add directory/archive to bookmark just press on
that dir or on panel header then drag it to bookmark and drop on
the empty space. Another way is to press 'AddToBookmark' [Ctrl+a]
key or press assigned book number with 'Ctrl'. [Ctrl+a] adds book
to first empty space in bookmark.
If you want to delete book from bookmark drag it to recycle bin
and drop on it.
If you want to switch to the book press on it by mouse or activate
via 'SwitchToBook*' hotkey (default [Ctrl+ 1-9]).
First eight books are normal storing books, but ninth book is a
swap book. This means that this book stores last switched on bookmark
directory.
For example:
- Your current directory '/root'.
- You switch to book 2 ('/home/user1').
- Now current directory '/home/user1'.
- You do some operations there and want to return to '/root'.
- Press on book9 - swap book - and You again at '/root'.
Bookmark has one limitation for archives: Only full archive path
name adds to bookmark, not an internal archive dir. So after pressing
on the book with the archive you will always be positioned on the
top of the archive.
