"up" button to navigate to parent directory #52

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I think a great enhancement would be an "up" button to easily move to the
parent directory, since this has been removed from Explorer in Vista.

Ah - this makes more sense now than for grepWin :)

But are you aware that pressing backspace (not delete!) in explorer should do 
exactly
that?

Actually, the delete button in explorer is "Back" and will navigate to the 
previous
directory, not the parent directory (unless that is where you just were). I 
know you
can also click on a folder in the path bar, but this also becomes cumbersome 
when you
have long/deep paths. The "up" button worked so well in previous versions of 
windows
and I am not sure why they would not make it at least customizable in Vista so 
it can
be added back.

Right, that's just for "Back" - for me that's usually "up". I guess I just 
browse
differently :)

Marking as "wontfix" since this already is implemented in explorer: just hit 
Alt-Up
instead of backspace.
(that's the "alt" key and the "cursor up" key together).

Please rethink your decision again. For most Vista users, it is very 
inconvenient to
change from mouse to keyboard only for switching to an upper folder. btw: the 
Vista
feature by clicking on the address bar is not very useful because folder names 
are
often too long.
Thanks a lot!

could you also provide the sourcecode or a script only instead of an exe file?
Not many people are willing to download and execute such files.

of cause no problem:
it is not difficult at all. only these command:

"Send, {ALTDOWN}{UP}{ALTUP}"
