I have Polymyalgia rheumatica, sometimes movement of my hands is very painful.

So, it is down to the limitations of the high lever language. That's why I preferred to write in assembler, that way I had complete control of what the code did. The middle vertical toolbar is, as I've said, ergonomic in certain situations: select item in left pane, move right, select action in midd...

Why are vertical toolbars such a NO-NO? Is it because of the language you have written x² in or is it just your personal hate of them?
I know of at least three file managers that have them (I use two of them on a regular basis).

It looks like the end of the line for x² as far as I'm concerned. Too many "features" I don't like / won't use. Other file managers do what I want, the way I want.
I wish you well Nikos.

I assume that you are not going to get rid of the "simple version" / "more properties" hardly visible micro message that responds to a mouse click within half a mile of it? It should be in the options setting, not in the dialogue. Any bugs in V5 that you have fixed, if so, what w...

Yes, I did try the macro, not impressed!

Be careful what you write - "Walls have ears".

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.
