Open files of the favorites menue with its associated program

#1 Post by manniclick » 20.03.2023, 13:25

Hello all,
according to the description, it is not possible to store links to files in the Favorites menu that cause the file to be opened with the program associated with its file extension.
Clicking on such an entry only opens the folder where the file exists and highlights the file entry.

Coincidentally, I found a way that leads to opening the file with the program assigned to it.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. create a directory, for example named "Links to File Favorites".
This is not mandatory, but can be useful for clarity in the future.
2. create a link to a file in this folder. For example by
a) marking the file in its folder
b) forking Ctrl+C to copy it and
c) followed by "Paste link" in the folder created in 1.
3) Add the created link to the Favorites menu.

If the file entry in the Favorites menu is selected now, the file is called with the program assigned to it.

Kind regards
Manfred
