Directory Opus: Aliases

alright.. a little gem.. you know about bookmark keywords, right? so you got about 1 million bookmarks (why?) and 10 of them are somewhat important. with firefox (and other browsers :) you can give those important bookmarks a keyword. then you enter this keyword in the address bar of the browser and the associated bookmark is loaded. you could use 'gn' for 'news.google.com' for example.

well, dopus let's you do this on your file system. there are 'favorites' (bookmarks) in dopus. and you can define aliases. then you enter '/' in the lister address bar and you navigate to '/some/really/long/path/somewhere/else'.

just a little feature.. but sooo good to have.. i use this for example to alias certain locations on my samba server's file system. like the main sections of my web-sites, or my cruisecontrol home, and so on..
