Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
I wouldn't want to be held responsible... So instead you're responsible for inspiring people to get up at 7am on a Saturday to write an Ode to a CLSID. What a legacy. I mean, shouldn't there be some kind of moderation around here to prevent this sort of thing? You know I can't police myself... Wher...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
windows explorer checkboxes are dead easy to LOSE with one accidental click. That goes against the idea of building large selections I use single-click activation all the time - you don't have to tell me about losing selections! :D My point is that (especially when holding down <Ctrl> for multiple ...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
as for this message, I thought I'd add it as e.g. DOS commands don't apply to network folders or zipfolders Yeah, but I compare drive contents (to other drives/backups) all the time, and the best way to do that is from there (how else would you select 2 or more drives in one go?). Guess you don't u...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
Ok, I give up - I've gone through all the options twice and I can't find the one that disables this: https://i.imgur.com/y2tZemS.png This bloody thing pops up every time I want to run a user-command and I have the apparent temerity to do so with the "This PC" in an active pane. Like select...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
Windows File Explorer has had the option to enable checkboxes for years. And I think that X² following suit is a good thing. Of course, and no one would seriously argue otherwise. However, one should take into account the actual user-experience of having such options. For example, in Win Explorer i...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
you wouldn't want to use checkboxes to OPEN items for example? some things are better done with selection I try to approach things with what's left of my open mind, and, in particular, to look at them from the point of view of the mentally deranged users who would want to use them. :D One good thin...

It's telling that as I turn all of these things on for testing, I turn them off just as quickly when done. Just sayin'. While I'm probably not the target demographic, I do struggle to see who is...nikos wrote:you guys are just old geezers stuck in a groove and allergic to change

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
if you read the announcement notes... Yeah, my mistake - I only quickly read the highlights in the thread, not the detailed ones. Oh bugger, I just saw that checkboxes are yet another per-pane option. I hate those; they befuddle the mind and make me cry. ...there's an advanced option to make menus ...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta
Got a different question - is there a way to reliably use both versions side by side simultaneously? No. By even trying to do so you have already crossed the streams of the space-time continuum and now all cups of coffee in the southern-hemisphere will taste like tuna fish. This is a very bad thing...

Re: Can't open new tab with everything
Might you can try it my way and you will find that what I say is true! For what it's worth, I cannot recreate this - folders opened from Everything (x64) will open in a new tab in x2-lite every time, regardless of how x2 is started (<Win+R> or a normal shortcut). It behaves the same using Lite or P...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls
you can limit how many bookmarks appear in the menu... but then you won't have icons for all of them if you add them on toolbars Ah, sōdesu ka, Nikos-san. Who would ever think to look for something called "Menu Column Break"? I mean, really... Should have been called "Super Trans-Gal...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls
dark mode black magic basics... (but then scrollers get white) Always a nice sign when there's an explicit void FixDarkScrollBar(), to suggest the void is indeed a void. Menus with a horizontal break paint white, don't know why... Which is why amongst the chaff, I suggested something about truncati...
