CFX File-Explorer GUI

krono · February 16, 2023, 18:08

Hello CFD-Online,

i have a small question regarding the file explorer of CFX' GUI. The attached image shows said window. In the green area the files/directories in the current location are shown. Directories for quick acces are listed in the red area. The directories in the red area stay the same independant of the current location.

I was wondering how i could add specific directories to the quick access area permanently?

Dragging and dropping them from the green area does add them, but only for the current explorer session. The OS is linux.

I'd be happy for any hint to a solution, since it would increase the quality of life of processing my data.

Best regards
Julian

Would making links to the directories help? See: https://linuxhint.com/symlink-a-directory-in-linux/

Yes, it does! Not quite what i was looking for, but it accelerates the navigation a little. Thanks for your reply.
