I usually have one pointing to my live projects directory, another to the samples and loops directory, and the third one is used along with bookmarks to fumble with things all over my HD. Still, being able to add as many as you want would be welcome.

And having them be notified of external changes would be welcome.

I often change things in Windows Explorer, with Live minimized. Live doesn't seem to acknowledge folder updates from Windows.

I agree that more than only 3 folder shortcuts on the left side would be more than just luxury. I help myself by using the "favorites".

I have one browser shortcut for the Live library, one browser for my samples&loops location, and the third one I use for the project I am currently working on.

I have added the main folders of all my projects as favorites. When I work on a different project, I quickly change to the new main folder via the favorites option.

To me it feels that this is not much more than a workaround, but it works ok for me.

Regards, Martin
