March 16, 2008 – 7:41 pm

Do you often have to save or open files from the same project folder?
Do you hate programs forgetting your last accessed folder?
Do you browse your filesystem more then you want ?

Well then here come's SHORTY !
Stijn De Ryck from Green Collective together with Virgil from Datadarling.com develloped this great mini utility that makes your life just more profitable

Shorty gives you easy acces to a max of 5 favourite (project)folders from within ANY program.

Simply asign a folder from within explorer to Shorty 1 to 5:

- Right click folder in explorer or from within the file open/save dialog.
- Select Shorty 1,2,3,4 or 5 and you're set.

Now when you want to save or open a file yto/from your favourite shorty folder ou can jump to that folder with only 1 click;
The folder you assigned to "Shorty 1" will appear on the left in the vertical places bar.

To reset back to the default windows places, just uninstall shorty.
It is also possible to ad My Computer, Desktop, The Root of a drive or a network share to a Shorty Shortcut.

We created it for ourselves but we love to share it because we want you ...
to stop useless folder browsing NOW !

Another "little great" tool elsewhere on 'ze internetz' is Clippath, which enables you to easily copy a path to a folder or file. Extremely handy when you want for ex a path to paste in a dos-box or target a folder to unzip to:
