on macOS Sonoma I have in Finder on my favorite documents and projects a folder structure which goes 4-5 levels deep, dozen of folders inside. And many times a day I have to think about, how to find and reach that or this folder. My problem is, using Spotlight shows all documents at once and every time I must tell Finder to show only Folders, this becomes very unhandy after a while.
My idea was to build a floating menu, opened via FN+S, displaying me an equivalent of these 4-5 levels but with only the most used folders. If a folder on level 3 contains these 5 folders "rarley used" "rarley used" "rarley used" "rarley used" "often used" I would put in the floating menu structure only the often used one.
Before I start from scratch, I'd like to ask how you would think about this problem? So I do not waste time in building a zombie I won't use
I'm not sure whether a floating menu is the best way to that. Personally I have something like this in my Dock. You can drag any folder there and even navigate it
True, a good approach. Do you have an idea how to force Finder to show the full name of a folder, e.g. in your video there are many names with "..." in between. List-view isn't the option.
BTW the Alias approach is a bit ugly, as instead of folder icons you'll see only ugly gray document symbols. Well..
