Hi, ndeboard,

thanks for offering help - I really would appreciate a review by a native speaker.

Alas, not for "FavoritenFreund". It is not Open Source, and the author did not reply to my email. Upon closer inspection, I found some other things that bothered me, too. So I set out to make a poor man's thing doing roughly the same, involving just autohotkey and, yes, the native Windows Explorer. (Which, by the way, I haven't used for file management for years).

It does take a bit of configuration (editing the .ahk file) by the User, and the macro to call it from the K-Meleon toolbar or menu has to be written yet. I'll post it anyway, no time now for that - has to be started externally, for the time being. Maybe somebody wants to "translate" the whole thing to autoIt.

This is what it can give you when you drag a link, say, to the left center of your screen:

The Usage and installation notes I put to the end of the script.
Here is the code:

[hr]
[code]
;;;;;;;;;;;;   www.autohotkey.com    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  semicolon is used for commenting out
;CONFIGURATION: My display is 1024 x 768 . You may want to edit some coordinates. Drag links to left center screen border if unedited
;Moving your mouse with your LButtonDown (e.g. dragging an URL) opens/pops up your bookmarks folder in explorer,
;so you can drop it there. Clicking inside the K-Meleon window after dropping will hide the favs folder, of course...)
;see the very end of the script for further notes concerning customization and installation

; Timer to check mouse position:
SetTimer, CheckMouse, 400     		;miliseconds. smaller=faster reaction, more CPU load

#Persistent
#singleinstance force

CheckMouse:                  ;check mouse position, store coords in variables
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseGetPos, MouseH , MouseV

GetKeyState, LState, LButton      ;check mouse Up/Dwn state, store in variable

if(MouseV>200 and MouseV<700 and MouseH>-5 and MouseH<5 and LState = "D")    ;coordinates. MouseH>-5 provides for a second display to the left
{
MouseMove, 30, 0, ,R             ;so it will trigger the action just once
IfWinNotExist, L:\AAim\common\Fav2         ;CONFIGNOTE_A: put here the Name of YOUR favs folder as it appears in the caption
{
     Run explorer.exe /root`, "L:\AAim\common\Fav2"	   ;CONFIGURATION: enter Path to YOUR favs folder instead
     WinWait, L:\AAim\common\Fav2, FolderView     ;CONFIGNOTE_A:
;     WinSet, Style, -0x80800000, A			;NOTE_B, see end of script
     WinMove, L:\AAim\common\Fav2,  , 0, 210, 450, 555 	;CONFIGNOTE_A, PLUS: x,y (of the top left corner), w, h
}
else
{
   WinActivate, L:\AAim\common\Fav2
     WinMove, L:\AAim\common\Fav2,  , 0, 210, 450, 555
}
}
return

;NOTE_B: if you uncomment this line (delete the starting semicolon), 
;the window will have no titlebar, so: 
;Min/Max/Close via the taskbarButtonMenu, or hit Alt Space to get the SystemMenu. 
;Favs can be arranged chronologically by doubleclicking the column headers
;No need for the FileType or Size columns here
;No need for an AdressBar, or for more buttons - the "Up" button is the 
;only one really needed, in fact.
;
;Customize via RClick on the toolbar.
;Menu items relevant for favs: >file<new, >edit>delete, 
;>view>arrange>in groups (?, don't have an english XP) )
;and, of course, >favorites

;==========================================================================
;Installation:
;Download & install Autohotkey: ; http://www.autohotkey.com/download/AutoHotkeyInstall.exe
;In your K-M tools folder (or anywhere), RClick>New>Autohotkey Script, call 
;it, say, kmfavView.ahk open kmfavView.ahk in notepad, replace its 
;contents by this text save & close, put a shortcut to this file on your 
;desktop / in your StartMenu, in your startup folder for starting
;you can be sure it is running when the green"H" icon shows in 
;your tray. RClicking that one gives you a menu for 
;pausing, closing, and others.
