And why are we doing MS bashing again? It is easier putting blame on someone else than taking responsibility. I'm not the person that bashes Microsoft all day long. Indeed I often defend Microsoft in discussions. ;) Ask Nikos how I came to the job as German translator for xplorer². *g* Has anyone e...

X2 definitely blows EXP, but EV/E7 is way better than EXP and much more visually pleasant than X2. I strongly disagree. The new Explorer was one reason why I switched back from Vista to XP after 3 months in early 2007. I gave Vista a 2nd chance in 2008 and am still using it, but I still see the new...

I could reproduce the bug for German language with version 1.7.2.2. I could not reproduce it anymore with the version you've sent me.

Concerning the cell phones: Take a Symbian based smartphone from Nokia. I never had any problems connecting those to a PC. You just install Nokia PC Suite and follow the instructions. Okay, Nokia PC Suite is larger than I'd like it to be, but at least it works as expected.

@Nikos:
Hmm, the window class of the listview of this tabby thing is "TVirtualExplorerEasyListview". Looks like Jim's work.  :D
Actually tiles view isn't that difficult to implement. Let me know if I may help you.

:lol: To make the TortoiseSVN context menu extension and SHMultiFileProperties happy, you also must add CFSTR_SHELLIDLIST data to the IDataObject returned in GetUIObjectOf. Looks like everything is working now. :D Only the Send To sub menu seems to cause my IDataObject implementation run into an inf...

Strange... This afternoon I did test it with 2 files from different drives and it worked. Now, on another machine but also with XP SP2, it fails and the hook is required. Jim, earlier in this thread you mentioned you had to override GetAttributesOf() because of SFGAO_CANMOVE and SFGAO_CANCOPY. Have ...

I'm currently testing on Vista. So far SHCreateDefaultContextMenu seems to work as expected. I set the punkAssociationInfo, cKeys and aKeys members of DEFCONTEXTMENU to 0 and it looks like the API really does the ugly registry stuff itself. BTW, currently I'm not hooking the desktop's IShellFolder. ...

the problem is that bug when you supply 16+ registry keys, so you should be striving to make the keys you need less , not more! Actually this limit can't even be reached. As Jim said, only the filetype of the focused item is relevant, not all filetypes. E. g. if you have selected the following file...

I took RegMon and checked which parts of the registry Explorer is accessing when I right-click a *.bas file and a *.txt file out of different folders in the search pane (XP SP2). Case 1) The *.bas file is focused. The following keys were accessed (I picked the important ones): HKCR\.bas HKCR\VisualB...

Is it really necessary to hook the desktop's IShellFolder and provide a custom data object? I just started to implement cross-namespace context menus, but so far I didn't came across the situation that the data object provided by the desktop doesn't contain correct CF_HDROP data. On the other hand I...

I don't know it because I don't know the xplorer² source code. But I know the shell API and I can imagine how Nikos has implemented specific features of xplorer².

Windows Explorer has a Undo feature, that's right. But Microsoft has left way too many details about the shell undocumented, so that "copying" this feature would require lots of reverse engineering (something that is illegal in many countries except you use the cleanroom model). Yes, xplor...

But I know of 2 filemanagers (besides Windows' Explorer) which can do it: The first one was the filemanager of Norton Navigator, a product, that Symantec launched together with Windows 95, but gave up before the release of Windows 98; the second one is a filemanager named Idoswin (German only; I do...

Hi,

I've checked the IDs and those posted by Nikos are the correct ones.
