Re: explorer replacement - Win 7

Thanks, that was easy enough. I have another related hopefully easy question.

On one pc when I click a folder link it opens another x2 and clicking on another would open a 3rd, etc. I search for something like "allow only one instance of X2" but could not find it. What is the fix?

explorer replacement - Win 7

I'm sure it's a simple setting fix but if I set X2 for "explorer replacement" in Windows 7, everytime I click a link for a folder the Windows administrator warning screen pops up... would like to open a new tab in X2 without the popup warning but do not want to complete disable the window ...

@discgolfer The renaming tools discussion is a recurring one and almost everything has been said at some place, so this is just a repetition. There are so many utilities for renaming, most of them good, you can choose your pick. I'd recommend searching for some old discussions. My recommendation th...

Re: the febooti program

http://cdn0.4dots.com/i/smiliesadd1/bulb2.gif - Aaah, did you do a Refresh, Windows is inherently case insensitive - so it does not differentiate between AAA.TXT and aaa.txt - so in Windows a case change is an irrelevant event.  Refresh in X2 is ctl+r, and in windows its F5 - five will get you ten ...

the febooti program

The interesting thing is that I decided to try and use the program in DO and Explorer  and it worked.... still won't work in X2.

[and it doesn't have the underscore to spaces option which is a must]

I think I made a mistake when I titled it "rename". I think I confused the request. There's a great program called Tag&Rename I have been using for MP3 for years. With a click I can change just one or multiple files names to: ALL UPPER CASE all lower case Sentence case Title Case also ...

thanks narayan for the quick reply. I downloaded, installed and added the shortcut. It's powerful and works like a lot of the 3rd party renamer programs. I was hoping for something built in and very easy like the directory opus one. I began my search for an explorer replacement to make my life easie...

Simple rename

I tried xplorer2, xyplorer and directory opus and bought xplorer2. One feature I like with directory opus is a simpler file renamer with a one click change case etc.... I especially like changing underscores to spaces option. Is there this feature in xplorer2? BTW one of the deciding feature for thi...
