Re: Feature = button option to clear filter box

why is ESC so much better than F2 key? They do the same job clearing the box Because it is a de facto standard in the world of Windows. Try opening a command prompt (CMD) window and start typing any rubbish at the command line. Now, without doing anything else, hit the [ESC] on your keyboard. You g...

Re: delete failure

One thing to realize is that the file system might be playing a factor here. Windows only allows for a max path length (in characters) of 260. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file Maximum Path Length Limitation In editions of Windows before Windows 10 version 1607, th...

Re: anyone with windows 11?

Since we've been working on it independently via email, I'll fill in a bit of info here for the forum users to see. It seems that this is a virtual folder 'collection' of some sort, and while the folders located in my 'home' folder are navigable, in the actual folder pane they are not named, display...

Re: anyone with windows 11?

I've definitely got the Home folder in Windows 11 22H2.

Want testing done in the beta or in stable?

Re: xplorer2 5.310 (last?) BETA

Ahh. Cached. Makes more sense now.

I'm installing the (latest) beta today, but I don't foresee any real problem with it.

Re: xplorer2 5.308 BETA

I won't worry then. The thing is, though, settings backups are manual. If I make a lot of changes, and forget to save , then install a Beta and something goes wonky, my changes are gone. But, that is mostly moot now, anyway, as I'm making extensive use of profiles, so if I lose a profile or 2, it's ...

Re: xplorer2 5.308 BETA

I install the beta in a different folder also. I have never had problems doing that. If you wanted to have separate settings for the beta and stable you could save settings to an ini file. I used to do that because I liked to keep x2 portable but Nikos said using an ini was slower than using the re...

Re: xplorer2 5.308 BETA

For me, it is if it introduces a new setting that the old version cannot make sense of and breaks it. A secondary reason is that I may inadvertently set something in the Betas that breaks the beta (and later the subsequent final release) without realizing it, and thus I need to spend time troublesho...

Re: xplorer2 5.308 BETA

That is what I was afraid of. I usually install the Betas in a new directory to run side by side with the latest stable.

Re: xplorer2 5.308 BETA

Just now seeing this. As I see a new option which is going to be disabled immediately after installing, I've got a curious question. Since I always have my ULT installed on my Windows box, and since I've more than once installed a Beta here and there along side my installed stable version, I'm curio...

Re: Windows 11 and Multimonitor Issue

what are these "profiles"? The monitors are always the same, no? What you call Layouts in Xplorer² I always revert to calling Profiles , as most software / programs use that term for similar functionality. I use the word so many times in my job and personal life with software support that...
