The typing of more than 4 letters in quick succession is a PITA for touch typists. It drives me insane, not only in x² but other programs. It results in rubbish being typed and, even worse, can crash some programs. Clearly, any program that uses it is designed for one finger typists!! Well, I've rea...

... you just read his response wrong ... Yes, I did read it as "save settings" now has a problem, rather than "save settings now" has a problem. A little limerick for Nikos: A handsome young man called Nikos. Who lived near the city of Paphos. Wrote a program called x². Which he...

From the fact that you wrote "now", I assume this is something new in version 6, or does version 5 have the same problem?

Gandolf would never forgive me, I'm on my last straw here, I can't make any more fashionable concessions :) :evilgrin: You make me sound like an ogre. :evilgrin: How often do users change the options? It's not important how it looks, it's something most people use once, and that's it. The new optio...

ephemeral fashion?

Bowing to fashion, I'm ashamed of you Nikos.

If that is the only reason for a new version, then there is no point in updating.

do you like the new stuff?

NO.

I spent about 30 seconds looking at it, then decided I had better things to do.

WHY RE-INVENT THE WHEEL???

I appear to be able to get both v5 & v6 running at the same time, according to Help > About.

My v5 shortcut has the "/P" option set (force new instances to open as separate processes), but v6 doesn't (clean install, nothing changed). That may be the answer.

Hyper-filter dialogs are badly laid out. The "simple version / more options" is in the middle of nowhere, very small and not clearly visible. It should not be jumbled in with the settings for the function. It should be at the top or bottom of the window. By placing it below the "Addit...

It is saved. Run from Customize > Macros > 1.

O.K. I used the "rat" and got it to work. It's noticeably slower than the AHK script!! AHK script: if not A_IsAdmin { Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" ; Requires v1.0.92.01+ ExitApp } #SingleInstance force #noEnv SendInput, {ALTDOWN}h{ALTUP} SendInput, {ALTDOWN}e{ALTUP}{ALTDOWN}n{...

1. I hate the mouse!!!! I used to use a tablet for graphics.
2. I've tried recording a macro, but could not get it to record entered text in either the Named field or the Predefined field. I assumed SETTEXT would do it but couldn't get it to work.

O.K. there is an additional field in v6 - "Simple version".

Looks like v6 is out-the-window, too many changes that will stop a lot of my scripts running.

Well, I got an AHK script to finally work in v5 using Tab to move between the fields. However, it doesn't work in V6!!!

Tried pressing twice, not reliable. Sometimes it toggles the Files option. Try: Alt+H. Alt+e to clear to the defaults. Type a file name in the Named field. Alt+o to un-checked Folders. Alt+F un-checks Files. Alt+F checks Files. Repeated Alt+F simply checks and un-checks Files. Enter may, or may not,...
