Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully
I've read that GCC, in general, is far from being a decent compiler, it tends to over-optimize your code by removing deliberately inserting verbose debugging. The joy of efficiency, I guess. If MinGW - we had this discussion... :D - will fail as expected, there is still Clang to sweep it up. It's u...

Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully
Doesn't the inclusion of "efficiency improvements" basically tell us that previous versions were not efficient Well, some memory allocations were... um... "over-provisioned", and multi-threaded applications are a royal patoot's-behind to make efficient on the first try. So, I ma...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released
Yeah, I figured you'd do that much (it only took about 10 minutes to make this menu, so it's hardly quantum tech), but the more pressing question is will you add proper colour configuration nonsense to the advanced settings thingy like you should? I mean, who manually edits the registry any more bes...

Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully
Version 0.0.2.5 is now available (see links in original post at the top of this thread), bringing a few new features, efficiency improvements, bugfixes, etc. To update, just use the x2 Plugin Manager to disable the plugin, replace the file with the new one, then re-enable it. Any previously modified...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released
for other colors you'd need AHK or something equivalent No you don't, it's just 39000 + x where x is 1 for Kinky Chartreuse, 2 for Gross Green, 3 for Blue Bayou, etc. I found it easier to just recreate the context menu as a toolbar button instead. Sooner or later I'll add a real customising option,...

Re: How to update my portable version?
As to your "moral insights", thanks for sharing, but... Don't get me wrong - when given a choice of using software, 9 times out of 10 I will also choose the portable option where one is available... they tend to be easier to backup and restore to other systems as needs be, and generally p...

Re: not receiving email notifications
Yeah, this is really rather annoying - I too, have not received any email notifications from the forum since August 16th. This applies to everything from normal subscriptions (specific threads the user has posted within) to private messages. If it's broken for everyone, there's no way to know of rep...

Re: Turn off alert sound when opening new folder
This is in no way normal behaviour, and is indicative of something (a misbehaving shell-extension?) specific to your system. What is the error/warning message reported in x2's status-bar (View -> Toolbars -> Status bar) when the sound occurs? Just browsing folders should have no such side-effects. W...

Re: How to update my portable version?
I've never seen a portable app that needs to be installed first. The ultimate version is not a "portable app" out of the box per se, simply a version which allows the conversion into one. There are essentially two ways to update a portable install: 1. Install the new version on a host (yo...

Re: Bookmarks/Favorite Folders IN GROUPS?
Can I or is there a way to bookmark a GROUP of folder tabs? Customise -> Folder Groups -> Add Current "Folder Groups" are, despite inclement nomenclature, the collected set of folder tabs open in the current pane, so they may be saved/recalled collectively whenever you want. You are not l...

Re: clicking and dragging to select files
A little searching reminds me that this is the result of an absurd change back in version 3.3.0.0: * Easier to access background menu (right click "nowhere" in a folder view) and do lasso (marquee) selection if you click the mouse on the empty space to the right of a filename. Works even i...

Re: blog: optimal I/O buffer size, revisited
There is anecdotal evidence that supports your experience, so I don't doubt that the Loch Ness Monster could be somebody's secret love-child :wink:, but as long as no one goes looking for verifiable reasons why it might be so, it's harmless enough to swim in deep waters, though it will undeniably sl...
