Re: mark "not empty" folders

I have that option that FrizzleFry mentions enabled for all of my Xplorer² profiles. It does use your system resources a bit more, and when moving to a parent folder that has a lot of child folders, it can take some time, but it works well moving into and back out of child folders, just (sometimes) ...

Re: blog: easy excel plots

I tested your supposition in Office 365 - it's there.

I have no idea why this was done, but I do seem to NOT having this issue when I worked for my Masters degree some 11-12 years ago, so...

It's Microsoft. That is the only answer I got.

Re: blog: easy excel plots

Your way is one way to do it. You could also make a template forcing each axis to be a column, or just manually create it, though IMO, the template is probably fastest (once you get it set up), and the scatter plot --> other type of chart is second fastest. https://superuser.com/questions/81398/map-...

Re: Find folders containing multiple specified file types

Searching via BOOLEAN:

{Includes [*.mkv AND (*.AVI OR *.MP4)]}

Is what he wants. I've never really though t about it, but I suspect there is a way to accomplish this in X², as you've got a ton of backend into this program, Nikos.

Is there a way to do nested BOOLEAN searches such as that?

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.
