Wish Add Existing Module Default Directory

I think that if you have a Shared Modules path entered in the "Configure Paths" dialog, clicking the "Add Existing Module" menu item should open said directory.

Yes, hunting around for the right directory can be a real pain (you know where) most of the time.
I have been using a free product called FileBox eXtender for years that saves me a ton of time selecting commonly used directories.

It is NOT a standalone program. Instead it installs itself into the window title of virtually every MS Explorer window, including File Open dialog windows like File > Open Source so you can easily open B4x projects from your favorite B4X project directories.

You can add your favorite directories at the root or under a submenu. I have a submenu for B4A directories, another one for B4J, another one for icons and images etc. Any of your favorite directories can be selected in 2 or 3 mouse clicks from wherever you are and from any program.

I did find one minor bug in the software. You cannot add a directory to its menu structure from a File Open Dialog window. You must add directories using a normal Windows Explorer window. This is a minor flaw, but it took me a while to figure out why the program was crashing seconds after adding a directory.

You can get it here. I have been using it on XP and Win 7. I can't say for sure if it works in Windows 10, but it might. It is worth its weight in gold.

The shared modules feature is not powerful enough. It will be deprecated in the future (but still supported).

Why aren't you compiling the shared modules into a library?

@Widget - Thank you for the link.

That's actually a good idea. I was against it before but since I've created my "Community Lib" library, I could add the modules to that.
