This is possible since UltraEdit for Windows v25.00 using an UltraEdit script which has for example the file name
Open favorite file.js and which is added with the
Scripts dialog window opened with a click on ribbon tab
Advanced on the item
All scripts. The script could should be something like:
Code: Select all
var sFavoriteFile = "C:\\Program Files\\IDM Computer Solutions\\UltraEdit\\changes.txt";
for (var nDocIndex = 0; nDocIndex < UltraEdit.document.length; nDocIndex++)
{
// This string comparison is done case-sensitive!
if (UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].path == sFavoriteFile)
{
UltraEdit.document[nDocIndex].setActive();
break;
}
}
if (nDocIndex == UltraEdit.document.length) UltraEdit.open(sFavoriteFile);
The command is listed in the list of
Commands on tab
Customize Quick Access Toolbar with the name of the script file.
But I would not use this method. I think, it is better to click on first ribbon tab
File on third item
Favorite files and add to this list the favorite file which is used frequently. The command
Favorite files can be also added to the quick access toolbar. It is also possible to assign a hotkey or chord to this command at
Advanced - Settings or Configuration - Key mapping for quick opening the
Favorite Files dialog window by key. The selection of a file or folder in the list is also possible by key by typing the beginning of the file/folder name as well as opening the selected favorite file or favorite folder with
ENTER or
RETURN.
The
File View window contains also the tab
Lists with the list
Favorites for quick opening a favorite file/folder. A file can be easily added to the
Favorites list by dragging its file tab to the
Favorites list item and dropping it here.
I recommend to read also the topic
How to set up multiple favorite files lists and group favorite files in a list? on which I explained the usage of
Favorites list even more detailed.
