Starting with V0.70, XFolder offers you to view the contents of folders from the context menus without having to open them. This can be very handy if you need to open a single file from a folder, but you do not want to open a dozen folders in order to reach it.

Here's an example (the XFolder development directory from the author's harddisk):

As you can see, the content of the "XFolder" folder is displayed; the subfolders in this folders lead to subsequent submenus.

The "Folder content" menus behave just like the WarpCenter's do: if you click on an item, its default view will be opened. If you click on a folder menu item, another submenu with the contents of this folder will be opened; if you click on it with mouse button 2, the WPS folder will be opened as a window instead.

The "Folder content" functions are used in two different contexts:

- For one, you can decide to always have the contents of the folder whose context menu you have opened displayed in this very context menu. The respective context menu item is then called "Folder contents" (how surprising). As a result, the "Folder contents" menu is different for each context menu.

  In the above screenshot, this can be seen with the "Ordnerinhalt" menu item (which is German for "Folder content"; sorry, I was just too lazy to do a second screenshot).

  The folder content menus can be switched on and off on the "Context menus" page in the new "Workplace Shell" object.

- Second, you can declare a certain folder to be one of your "favorite" folders. This can be done on the "XFolder" page in every folder's Settings notebook. All "favorite" folders will be displayed in all context menus; you can, for example, switch this feature on for the Desktop, and you will be able to reach the Desktop and everything that resides on and below its folder hierarchy from all context menus. (This works for the Drives folder also, by the way.)

  In the above screenshot, the "frequent" menu item is a folder on my Desktop in which I put things I access frequently. I have declared this folder to be my only "favorite" folder, so everything I put in this folder will appear in all context menus.
