Quick paths are available not only in the File > Open dialog, but also in all other
dialog boxes that have to do with opening or saving files.
For detailed information on quick paths, see the pages that follow.
Defining quick paths
To define a new quick path, complete the following steps:
1. Open any type of file dialog, for example, the File > Open dialog.
2. Click the Quick path button.
3. A menu opens below the button. Select the Create new quick path command
from it.
4. At Name of quick path enter a meaningful name for the quick path – for
example, “Letters to the tax office”.
5. At Path enter the desired folder – for example, c:\letters\taxes.
6. Confirm with OK.
From now on, TextMaker will change to the folder C:\LETTERS\TAXES when the
quick path “Letters to the tax office” is invoked.
Quick paths with search patterns: Quick paths can also include search patterns for file
names. For example, you can define a quick path as c:\letters\taxes\2012*.*, which
tells TextMaker to change to the folder C:\LETTERS\TAXES and display only those
files whose names begin with “2012”.
Keyboard shortcut: The & sign can be used in a quick path name to give the name a
keyboard shortcut. For example, if you enter “Letters to the &tax office” as the
name, the quick path of this name can be invoked by pressing the (T) key whenever
the list of quick paths is opened.
Using quick paths
Quick paths are available in all file dialogs – for example the dialogs for the File >
Open and the Object > New Picture commands.
To invoke a quick path, do the following:
1. Click on the Quick path button in a file dialog.
