Creating Shortcuts to Folders
Sometimes, getting dropped off at your 'home', or default, folder isn't convenient. You have a folder nested within a bunch of other folders, and traveling through the folder hierarchy is no fun! Luckily, you can create a shortcut to whatever folder you'd like once you get there for the first time:
- When you've navigated to the folder you'd like to make a shortcut for, click the Shortcuts menu option at the very top of the screen, and choose New Shortcut. (You can accomplish the same thing by pressing Command-T)
- Name it whatever you'd like that'll help you remember what the shortcut goes to. The rest of the settings shouldn't need to be touched. Click OK.
Now, when you click Shortcuts in the very top menu bar, you'll see it listed in the resulting drop down, as well as if you click 'Show Shortcuts' in the resulting dialog box.
