HOORAY!!!

Three file managers I know with vertical toolbar between the panes:
Double Commander
Salamander (x64)
Total Commander 64 bit

I think Nikos meant toolbar, not address bar. I didn't mention address bar.

So why did you do it? Are you a masochist?

O.K. Just the way you worded it looked like with the crumbs bar enabled things couldn't be moved.

you can either disable the new crumbs bar ...

Are you saying that with the "crummy" bar enabled you can't position the filter box to the right?

YES - on screen keyboard.

It's easier, but obviously much slower, to use the mouse and the on screen keyboard if my polymyalgia rheumatica is bad. Because the polymyalgia rheumatica effects my hands I end up with "claw hand" and typing is difficult, and painful.

Do you have an "enter" key on your mouse? I don't. The whole point of using the mouse is to use the mouse, NOT the keyboard. If I use the keyboard, then I use the keyboard. If I use the mouse, then I use the mouse. We're wasting enough time on this, the more I look at V6, the more I hate it.

Hmmmm!! It appears to change the ini file on the USB drive. If I have x2settings.ini open in a text editor, run x², change something, close x², the ini file is changed. Start x² again and the changes I made have been remembered. Does that mean it's changing the registry EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON A USB DRI...

What a mess!!! I duplicated the USB directory - xplorer2_ult 6.0.0.0. (and it's contents), then cleared the directory. I then copied ALL the V5 files, from the hard drive, to the USB drive (xplorer2_ult 6.0.0.0). Then... copied the V6 files, from the duplicate directory, to xplorer2_ult 6.0.0.0., re...

Come off it Nikos, I was writing code before you were even a glint in your fathers eye!!! V6 is DEAD, as far as I'm concerned, unless you can come up with a better suggestion than to use the search. YES, I AM ANNOYED!!!! And the forum lost my post! There are only two options in the drop-down box - &...

I thought, just for a laugh, I'd set up V6 on a USB stick as portable. Not a good start - Instant problem! In V5 there is the option "General | save program state on exit to...file in installation folder". Where is that option in V6? Save settings on exit is either "No" or "...

I have Polymyalgia rheumatica, sometimes movement of my hands is very painful.

So, it is down to the limitations of the high lever language. That's why I preferred to write in assembler, that way I had complete control of what the code did. The middle vertical toolbar is, as I've said, ergonomic in certain situations: select item in left pane, move right, select action in midd...

Why are vertical toolbars such a NO-NO? Is it because of the language you have written x² in or is it just your personal hate of them?
I know of at least three file managers that have them (I use two of them on a regular basis).

It looks like the end of the line for x² as far as I'm concerned. Too many "features" I don't like / won't use. Other file managers do what I want, the way I want.
I wish you well Nikos.
