PlaceBar Version 1.4


PlaceBar Main Window

This Program Changes the Buttons in the Places Bar in the Standard Windows Open/Save Dialog Box.

KEY:
Curly brackets round a set of words e.g.{File|Apply}, means select File menu then the Apply option.
Square brackets round a word e.g.[Apply], means this is a button.

Contact E-Mail is available on the Main Program Window and Information Window.


To Change a Button:

Method 1:
    Type the Path of the Folder you wish each Button in the Places Bar to point to into the boxes provided.
Method 2:
    Use the [...] Buttons to Search your computer for the Folder you want to use.
Method 3:
    Place your Cursor inside one of the boxes and press one of the Preset buttons at the bottom.

After all these Methods Click [Apply] or {File|Apply} before Exiting the Program to keep your changes.


To Restore the Default Buttons:

Click either the [Defaults] Button or {Settings|Defaults} followed by either [Apply] or {File|Apply}.
    *N.B. If you change any button from the defaults only the changed buttons are shown in the Open/Save Dialog Box.
    This is why I have provided the Preset Buttons at the bottom if you still require one or two of these Folders.


{Settings|Track Recent Folders}

Allows you to track the last five directories you have visited and use those as the buttons in the Places Bar.
If there is a tick next to the Menu Item then folders are being tracked. Click the menu item again to turn off this function.
There is no need to press [Apply] as these changes are updated when you visit a new Folder via the Open/Save Dialog.
You may reset the buttons after this function if you wish (see above).


{Settings|Minimize to Tray}

Allows you to move the program to the System Tray(where the clock is) whilst tracking or not to allow normal computer usage.

Whilst Minimized:
    If you have Track Recent Folders enabled there is an option {Animate} on the icon Right-Click Menu to let you know it is running.
    To Restore the program click {Restore} on the icons Right-Click Menu or just Double-Left-Click on the icon in the System Tray.
    You may also Exit the program from the icon using the {Exit} option on the Right-Click Menu.
