[Solved]...Folder path question

[bogs]

Short version - making a custom dialog box, I want to collect a list of items that, if clicked on, bring you to a previously selected folder. Purposely not using system dialogs.

Longer version - I have a list, and a menu button, and need to be able to set a folder path from the menu button. Here is a pic of the dialog -


Setting the path from the list works fine, and populates the menu items fine -

Setting either the home or / path is working, the problem I am not getting my head around is setting previously visited folder paths back, i.e. in the picture above, I am currently in the 'home' folder, but I want to skip to the previously visited 'Lc6_5-6_7' folder (which is not in the home folder).

Is there any way, short of storing each path on a series of lines of a container, of finding the path to a folder visited before? I am currently leaning towards just setting a custom property, but would rather not if there is some easy way to skip it.

Thanks in advance.

Storing the path is the way to go.. You could also make use of an Application Support/Data folder and store aliases/links in there and then let the system worry about keeping track of the real locations..

Thank you Sean, this is much the same answer I finally reached too, was just hoping I was wrong

Well, at least you were right to ask.
