We can select bookmarks for Folders and Categories.
Going to a bookmark is however cumbersome if one is on a different display and one
does not have the F&M/category tree panel open by default.

Example:....if you are in the category panel and want to go to a F&M bookmark you have to:

click on the tab of the F&M thumbnail display
then click on the F&M tree display tab (kept closed to get more thumbnails on the display)
then click on the bookmarks panel (if not open)
then click on the bookmark.
then another click to get the F&M tree panel to close again.

Three or four clicks and three to four screen repaints.
On a slow computer with a small screen this is bothersome and slow.

Favorites to go to a specified folder / category would speed this up/simplify it.

ATTENTION SCRIPT CODERS! This could be easily accomplished by an app!
- probably would need two apps: one to let us specify the folder (store it), the other to "go to the selected folder"
ditto for categories.

Any TAKERS?

You can also add a normal Favorite (in the Favorites panel) for your folders/categories.
Just drag the folder onto the Favorites panel.
Right-click a folder/category and choose and "Goto". Or, when the favorite is selected, press <G>.

The special Folder History and Category History groups in the Favorites panel remember the last recently used folders. These also support Goto via menu or <G> keyboard shortcut.
Two clicks or one press of <G>. No app needed.

Fantastic!
Never occurred to me to check what else can be done when right-clicking a favorite. Sorry.
