Creating a Shortcut

You can create shortcuts to folders and files, and even run executable files, from inside the Shortcuts pane. Favorite shortcuts can be copied, renamed, moved, or deleted just like a folder. You can even use an executable shortcut to start another application from inside ACDSee. You can also create a shortcut by dragging a file, folder, or executable file directly from the File List pane to the Shortcuts pane.

To Add Files to the Shortcuts Pane:

  1. In the File List pane, select a file, folder, or executable file.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click the item you selected, and then select Add to Shortcuts.
    • Click File | Add to Shortcuts.
  3. Type a name for the new shortcut and click OK.

Creating a New Folder

You can create a folder, or an entire directory tree, in the Shortcuts pane to help organize your favorites.

To Create a New Folder:

  1. In the Shortcuts pane, right-click the Shortcuts folder, or a folder you previously created, and then select New | Folder.
  2. Type the name of the folder and press Enter.

If you move a file or a folder that is a shortcuts, you break the link and the shortcut no longer works.

You can delete a shortcut or folder from within the Shortcuts pane.

To Delete a Shortcut or Folder:
