Toolbar Buttons > Available commands > Open

1. it's named as Open instead of OpenFolder.
2. My problem is that this button doesn't do what is is described in Tip while hovering above Open.

Now it behaves as Menu Instead of as a Shortcut (Menu can be optional)

I don't see the problem. The tip says "opens a given folder in the current window". That's exactly what the command does.

Look at picture attached.

In my Classic Shell - when I click:

1. Nothing Happens (that's the problem).
2. Menu
3. Open "My Computer" in current window (Shortcut, Works Fine) [command = open shell:MyComputerFolder]
4. Menu

BTW, Why can't we choose the type of button (Shortcut/Menu/both)?

You have to replace <folder name> with the folder you want to open. It is just a placeholder.

Yes it does. It will work with any of the shell: protocol locations from these lists to open them in the same window:

Hi Ivo, Now I got it.
However, I have no doubt that you need to upgrade and improve this dialogue box. The current situation is very confusing.
From my point of view (as End User) there are problems with: Terminology (Link instead of SubMenu), Buttons ([...] dosn't let choose Folder), Automation (When I select particular Folder in command the Icon not updating Automayically like in Link), and Better explantions how to do is needed.

The Link doesn't necessarily mean a sub-menu. Hover over it with the mouse and you will get a tooltip.
Not sure what you mean by "Automation".
Also read the documentation, particularly the Settings section. I spent a lot of time writing it, spend a little time reading it.
