Re: slow operating / freeze / blue circle hell

the problem isn't xplorer2 but some system update that foobar'd "something" what is this something? it could be a million things... did you try a reboot? What does reboot mean? Restart? Yes at least once a day and between the trials of deleting and reinstalling X2. Is it not possible to a...

slow operating / freeze / blue circle hell

X2 collapsed into outrageously slow hell a couple days ago with even the simplest operation in the smallest folder hanging or freezing x2 completely with the spinning blue circle for anywhere from 1 second to five minutes, on pretty much all navigation among folders. I just spent a couple hours rein...

Re: browse flat for folders/subfolders

if you use TOOLS > COMPARE SUBFOLDERS menu command, it will ask you whether you want to compare files or folders Either this doesn't work or I'm just not understanding anything in the reply because the folders aren't there in the browsed-flat scrap window. I want to browse flat and see the folders ...

Re: xplorer2 suddenly started randomly opening up twice, i.e. two instances

OK thanks, will watch for something that sounds like what you're talking about. It's only done it once or twice in the last couple days and I wasn't tracking it closely.

xplorer2 suddenly started randomly opening up twice, i.e. two instances

Starting a few weeks ago xplorer2 suddenly started opening up twice when I open it, i.e. two windows where one of them is titled <xplorer2 [.2]>. But not every time. It's just random, maybe one in every 5 times. I was hoping it'd just go away but it's not. How do I stop it?

Filenames unreadable on thumbnails - make background opaque, not transparent

In Thumbnail View filenames longer than 2 or 3 lines are unreadable when the file is highlighted because the background is transparent and the filename overlaps with the thumbnail in the row below. (The first line or two is fine because they don't overlap.) How do you make the background opaque? I h...

Re: Syncing folders that have renamed files and subfolders

Thanks for Beyond Compare. I'm only at the junior level of comparing folders based on presence/absence of files but it's terrific like people were saying. Haven't yet advanced to comparisons based on date, version, contents etc. What's that you say? I had it for six and a half years before trying it...

Is it worth resintalling to troubleshoot a problem?

If I want to try to solve a problem by uninstalling and reinstalling and I export my settings beforehand and then restore them, does that just bring everything back to the exact state it is now and therefore negates the purpose of reinstalling? In other words if it's possible something got messed up...

OK to exit with Alt-F4?

After 10+ years I just noticed in the menu it says the shortcut for exiting xplorer2 is Alt+X and all this time I've been exiting with Alt+F4. Does it make any difference?

Sticky selection is turning on by itself

Sticky selection suddenly started being "on" for all folders without me doing anything. I can toggle it off with alt-s but when I navigate to another folder it's on again and it is also on when I go back to the folder where I turned it off.

Xplorer2 slowed down by pdf software / global freeze

Are pdf programs known to slow down Xplorer2? It started taking up to 10 to 20 seconds, sometimes a whole minute to open folders, even those with maybe 20 small files and I'm pretty sure it started after installing Foxit Reader or PDF-Xchange Viewer. Scrolling in x2 with arrow or page keys (Details ...

Re: How to display jp2 thumbnails? aka JPEG 2000

Sagethumbs only "displays thumbnails" in the sense of displaying one thumbnail for one selected file at a time in a preview pane or right-click context menu. It doesn't make Xplorer2 or Windows Explorer display thumbnails for all the files in a folder at the same time, at least not for jp2...
