November 15, 20241 yr Forgive me if this post is unrelated to Unraid. Or not! I have several thousand folders and files in every variety that are spread across my local PC and external hard drives connected to it. Sometimes I find myself spending an obscene amount of time attempting to locate a file that I know exists somwhere but where exactly is a mystery. After installing Linkwarden I wondered if anyone here knew of a utility that would allow me to (when finally locating the desired folder and/or file(s) to create a bookmark similar to what we often do with websites that we visit and wish to retain. Your time and input will be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful evening. Peter Edited November 16, 20241 yr by peterbata
December 4, 20241 yr If you're using Windows then just create a shortcut to the file or pin it. Each app in Windows has a jump list (recently used files) and you can pin those so that they always remain in the list. Pinned files would be those that you use on a regular basis or very important and need to find whereas you can keep a list of shortcuts in a handy folder. If you're using Linux then you would do something similar using symlinks.
December 4, 20241 yr Author Thank you for the suggestion(s) @TimTheSettler Forgive me for not getting back to you sooner. Unfortunately, I have quite a few files / folders that I would like to access when the need arises. I decided to take start.me out for a test drive. I really wasn't looking for another dashboard. However, it does seem to fit the bill. I have started creating bookmarks using the file:/// url format. And that seems to be working out well for the time being. Here is a screenshot of my short list:
December 8, 20241 yr Nice find. I have a hard time trusting apps anymore unless they support standardized formats. That way, if the app goes away I still have my data.
December 8, 20241 yr Author Honestly, I would like to have seen a self-hosted version of start.me. If that were the case I may have possibly gained a little more mileage in the event that the developer should go belly up. Not to mention the better control over security. Have a great Sunday.
