Add support to "Bookmark" IFS paths in ACS

When using the IFS Task in ACS, I have a set of several directories I often need to work in. Rather than having to type in the path to the file, I would like to "bookmark" or have a set of "favorites" that I can select from.

This is similar to the support in Navigator to add a favorite to an IFS path.


Use Case:

I want to have a set of 'bookmarked' paths so I can easily pick the path I want to work in, as it may be different from the initial directory specified in the preferences. I may have several difference directories I access on a regular basis and I need an easy way to access them or switch between them.

    The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT
