I'll have a think about creating a new one that can deal with folders. It will have to be done differently internally.
no worries ...
I edited the addon.xml and created another plugin `plugin.program.simple.favourites2-master`
However favorites appear the same in both. `Simple Favourite`s and `Simple Favourites2`.

They will both pull in the global Kodi Favourites unless you turn off "Include All Kodi Favourites" in Settings.
Only the ones you add from the "Add" menu will be unique to each addon.

Got it, excellent !! Working nicely.
Much appreciation
RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - primaeval - 2016-11-04
New Addon: Simple Folders plugin.program.simple.folders
In the same repo. Simple Favourites with Folders.
@Johnoo See if this does what you want.
RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - Johnoo - 2016-11-04
Simple Folders
Quick, cool and simple, yes it does.
Cheers

simple folders is brilliant! Just what I was looking for, simple and does precisely what I want.
If you would like I can make new icons for the add ons.
thank you

Thanks.
I quite like the super simple logos that are there right now but you could have a go if you like. Just make them really Simple.

version 0.0.10
- User Icons (make a folder called userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.simple.favourites\icons)
- (current icons needed are: audio.png favourites.png music.png settings.png tv.png video.png folders.png files.png)
Turn on the Setting \ User Icons.
Make a folder called userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.simple.favourites\icons
Copy these icons from addons\plugin.program.simple.favourites\resources\img:
audio.png favourites.png music.png settings.png tv.png video.png
Go crazy with Photoshop.
The same for Simple Folders (change simple.favourites to simple.folders in the instructions above).
@mxlance I hope this helps. I try to make things as flexible as possible if I can.
I don't know if the main icon can be changed by this method. Maybe you do?
RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - primaeval - 2016-11-05
NEW addons
context.simple.favourites
context.simple.folders
Global Kodi context menu addons to "Add to Simple Favourites" or "Add to Simple Folders".
They won't be available in some places. Spoyser did some magic with Super Favourites to get to the File Manager which I haven't worked out how to do yet.

version 0.0.11
- Add Files with any protocol
I've added a hopefully more powerful feature to access any path you like in Add \ Files.
You have to enter the top of the path yourself but then you should be able to get almost anywhere.
You can use protocols like c:\ smb:// nfs:// ftp:// http:// special:// etc
Beware: files are filtered depending on where you started the addon: video, music, pictures, programs.
You will need to install the Context Menu addon to get the "Add to Simple Favourites" context menu.
See here about special://
http://kodi.wiki/view/Special_protocol
[EDIT] Local network protocols didn't work on Android SPMC for me today. I will have to dig deeper.

current `plugin.program.simple.folders-0.0.3`
not working, when clicking on the added addons nothing happens.
The previous versions work fine.

I think I've changed the way the link path is stored internally because of the new Files menu. Did you add too many to add them again? If you did I'll try and change the code.
RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - primaeval - 2016-11-06
Simple Favourites 0.0.12
- removed Files in Add
- hopefully fixed play path
Simple Folders 0.0.4
- Files and Browse are in Settings \ Advanced
- hopefully fixed play path
Simple Favourites is going to stay very Simple.
Simple Folders might get the more Advanced Features and a name change.
Add\Files should show every file, even unplayable ones.
Add\Browse should filter the files by where you start Simple Folders from (Video,Music,Pictures,Programs).
@Johnoo could you see if this fixes playback for you.
RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - Johnoo - 2016-11-06
Simple Folders 0.0.4 working
repo shows 0.0.3
downloaded 0.0.4 from GitHub
Thanks
