Favorites Button

The Favorites bevel button activates a pop-up menu of the user's favorite documents, folders, and volumes, as shown in Figure 1-6.

Figure 1-6 Favorites pop-up menu

The Favorites pop-up menu is divided into three sections. The top section contains two commands:

Add to Favorites allows the user to add the item or items currently selected in the browser list to the Favorites menu. Items may be files, folders, volumes, servers or AppleTalk zones.

Remove From Favorites opens a dialog box which allows the user to remove an item from the Favorites menu.

The second section contains a list of favorite documents set by the user. The third section contains a list of user-set favorite folders, volumes, and AppleTalk zones. These lists are available to all applications that use Navigation Services.

In an Open dialog box, Navigation Services displays favorite files and folders, but in a Save dialog box, only folders are displayed.

In an Open dialog box, the user can add an item to the Favorites menu by using the Add to Favorites command or by dragging the file or folder from the browser list or desktop to the Favorites bevel button. Users can remove items from the list with the Remove From Favorites command.
