>No tooltips are displayed for certain types of items which windows are you running? from w2000 onwards most things have tips XP provides tips for folders too, which is kind of cool but there's no documented way to do that -- i'd have to write my own code for that more on tooltips will follow in a ...

are litestep shortcuts different from normal shortcuts? Don't they have a "Run" box where you can specify the window size? (i wouldn't know, perhaps some other litestep user can illuminate us all here) another thing you can do is to save a layout (see View | Layouts menu) in the maximized ...

hey i haven't added a CRC column yet, it's in the pipeline though i never added "deep" (recursive) synchronization within 2x since there's no way i can think of to fit it within the dual pane concept. The algorithm is not difficult but the results would have to pop up in a different window...

Today I'm bored, can't do no work. As you do, and since the weather in London is crap as usual (outdoor activities at a premium), I wandered around in hyperspace checking out weird URLs.

that takes the biscuit, surely, you must be the laziest person alive  :D but i'm afraid there's a serious usability conflict that doesn't allow this suggestion to materialize. A single click on the pane title bar is the only way you can mouse-activate a pane without affecting the existing selection ...

cheers dude!

you can find a few examples for batch renaming etc in the "abnormal 2xExplorer" page, although admittedly that's not too much. Perhaps i'll have a tips'n'tricks article elaborating on the intricacies of batch file templates in the future

toolbar customization is one of these things that i have never tried to do (programmatically) so it's left as a future improvement you'll save some on your mouse mileage :) if for going up a level you just double-clicked on a pane's "title bar"; this is explained in keyboard.txt, which as ...

you can use the Mark | Print selection command for this. If you are not interested in the details but just the names, you can create a "batch file" using just the $N token where you'll get a list of names which you can copy out, paste in an editor & print

if you are not moving the toolbars about then that's a new one for me. Which version are you using?

next time this happens, please export the whole registry key of 2x and send it to me -- perhaps i can figure out the cause
