The lack of grouping options that are related is the concern I have with this format.

Re: v6 update: simple filters

look, most of the time many people (myself included) don't use any advanced search options, usually just NAME. Why clutter the interface with unused "advanced" options? Back before x2 added the limited-but-useful mass renamer, I looked at several of the 3rd party offerings. I cringed when...

Re: blog: batch convert AVI to MP4

I think the take-away is the inconsistency of the variables. Perhaps $P should not have the backslash appended if the current folder is the root. If someone has defined their movie subfolder to be a SUBST drive, then that appears like a root directory, and scripts that "assume" no backslas...

Re: blog: batch convert AVI to MP4

The script in your text doesn't match the script in the image of the dialog box. There is a problem in your example because the double backslash happens when using $P to substitute in the ROOT folder. The movies need to be in a folder other than the root for this script to work. The double quote is ...

Eclipse 2024

Just returned from a 1000 mile drive, each way, to view the eclipse in northeast Texas. Clouds cleared off just in time to watch most of the eclipse and all four minutes of totality. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ViBXe9QFlqTyeW9KBS_DQTuuLplu2KvK/view?usp=sharing --------------- PJ [back] in FL

Re: checkboxes

An example of checkboxes that works as I expect it to is in the YAHOO mail application. Clicking a box toggles the checkbox. If I check boxes, then even if I view an email and return to the list, the boxes are still checked. A parallel would be if switching to an already opened panes or tab, then re...

Re: v6

Does "Sticky selection" not do what you want? Sticky selection loses previous selections if "click-to-select" is followed by "shift-click-to-select" to add a list of files between the last selection and the current selection. If you include ctrl key when clicking the s...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls

is this affecting your xplorer2? i don't think so!? This "feeture" shows up in browsers, Office programs like Word, and other places that are not as user friendly as x2. Just wanted to voice my approval of x2's current handling of scroll bars, and let you know some are not impressed with ...

Re: v6

A few years back, during a discussion about click-and-drag, a suggestion to add checkboxes to a file list was made to use the boxes to simplify selection of multiple files and avoid the pitfalls of ctrl and ctrl-shift selections. I'd like to raise that suggestion again. Perhaps as a toolbar option o...

Sort of Filter Folders based on DESKTOP.INI Icon

Nikos,

I often use Kilmatead's (May he rest in peace :( ) Folder Color add-on to add an icon for visual identification, etc.

Is there any way to sort or filter the folders based on the icon?

Re: Quick Filter Field String Shown on per Tab basis

OK, I see that works using alt-H.

Could communication be set up between alt-H filtering and quick filtering?
