> I’ve collected a lot of music over the years, to ensure I don’t accidentally delete anything and have to go through the struggles of restoring it, I have setup a lot of shortcuts to folders I’m working on or to music I want to listen. This method lets me rearrange, delete, move, etc the shortcuts I’m working on or want to listen to without having to rearrange, delete or move the actual music files themselves. Since the release v3.31a when trying to open a folder with music in it by clicking on…

I'm adding this here because I discovered it by accident recently:  
 ![Open Shortcut in Mp3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/1/5/15e14eb8729103a6cc5f2580ca09926d16de910b.gif)  
With a left mouse double-click on a shortcut you can no longer open that shortcut inside the "Change directory" dialog window. You get an error like "XY - The foldername is invalid".

**BUT:**  
If you right click with your mouse on the shortcut and choose "Ordnerpfad öffnen" (should be something like "Open folder path" in the english version), you get directly to your target folder, still inside the dialog window of Mp3tag.

Hopefully this will help others too!

Thank you so much for reaching out [LyricsLover](https://community.mp3tag.de/u/lyricslover)!  
When I tried it I also discovered just clicking the ‘open’ option once clicked with the right mouse immediately opens the corresponding/short cut folder.
