The Bookmarks Button

 
 
 

Bookmarks allow you to quickly navigate to a directory. Click the button and then click a name in the pop-up list. Clicking a bookmark's name positions the browser in the target directory just as if the path had been entered manually.

There are five predefined bookmarks, which cannot be removed or renamed. They are the following:

Name Function Value Comment
Home Shorthand to browser's home Not editable Depends on the “Set as Home” setting
Project Home Bookmarks location of project root Not editable Depends on selected project
User Data Bookmarks location of user directory Not editable Depends on user logged on
OS User Home Home directory of user logged on No editable Depends on user logged on
Install Folder Composite installation folder Not editable  

In addition to the predefined bookmarks, personal bookmarks can also be created. There are two methods to create personal bookmarks:

To create a personal bookmark:

From the bookmarks list, select Add Bookmark or press Ctrl + D (on Windows and Linux) or Cmd + D (on Mac OS). The Add Bookmark dialog appears.

Or right-click on a directory in the File browser and select “Bookmark,” to bookmark that directory.

All personal bookmarks are automatically assigned the name of the bookmarked directory, or the name of the bookmarked directory plus a "#" extension, where "#" is the first number, beginning with 1, which makes the name unique. Although multiple bookmarks can share the same target directory, duplicate naming of bookmarks is not permitted. The "#" extension ensures that no two bookmarks have exactly the same name. For example, if you name a bookmark "New Bookmark," and then try to give another bookmark the same name, it will be named "New Bookmark (1)."
