Full Version: Integration with Windows File Explorer?

True Launch Bar is awesome, that's why I registered it years ago. However, I don't use it that much anymore because I use a keystroke launcher for everything in the start menu now (Launchy). However, I think I'd use it much more if it had the capability to integrate with explorer, kinda like Folder View.

I'm not requesting integration with Open/Save dialog boxes, even though that would be cool, I mainly interested in integration with Windows File Explorer. A toolbar within Windows File Explorer would be awesome, especially will all the features True Launch Bar has in it.

Is this in the future plans? Have you thought about doing this? What about a plugin for it?

Excellent suggestion!

You know you can achieve a good deal of success by making shortcuts and folders of shortcuts to Explorer. There are some commands to utilise the items within Control Panel as well. If you post some more specific ideas/requests perhaps we can see if they are possible now.
Check out GPSoft Directory Opus. The most versatile Explorer replacement around.

I know Directory Opus is the best file manager, but i like tools that integrates in Windows Explorer (FolderBox, ExplorerView, etc.).

If we can have a plugin or something else that can add a toolbar in Windows Explorer that display shortcuts (folder) from True Launch Bar and go directly in these folders without opening a new Windows Explorer instance, it will be great!

Regards.

Im not sure if it responds exactly to your needs, but i use QtTabBar and it allows the use of shortcut buttons in a toolbar inside Windows Explorer.

You can even use a sidebar to display your favorite shortcuts if you like.
