Re: folder tree filtering

I use the tree but there is a lot of clutter. A filter would be very useful.

I've been given two sleep-disturbing, time-wasting run-arounds by Plimus, one of them reported in this forum. Now I won't purchase any product where they are the go-between. Not only do they seem to assume that every transaction is dishonest until you personally have proved otherwise; they seem to n...

I only ever use one instance of xplorer2, opened and closed several times a day, and have given up trying to use bookmarks. A cleaner is used (CyberScrub) but the registry is not knowingly cleaned. If the cleaner is the culprit, I've never been able to make the connection. No pattern has ever been s...

A: grunting seems to be fixed by 1.8.0.1.  Not that it bothered me - quite a friendly sound, really.

Folder Encryption looks very convenient and the transparency is very neat.  But I wouldn't trust my data to a native Windows encryption method - I'd feel (rightly or wrongly) that full control had been lost. The previous posters have pointed out the inherent dangers in using Folder Encryption. I use...

From the latest edition of 'New Scientist': FINALLY, the Meta Thatcham MCi motorbike alarm spotted by 'MS' at www.indurate.co.uk/meta.htm apparently comes with an unexpected bonus. According to the website, the makers have "extended our free ‘lifetime guarantee’ on this product". 'MS' wond...

Encouraged by you good folk, and determined not to give in, I decided to try again. The same details went through without a hitch. 'Flagging', training exercise or whatever, I'll never know now. Thanks for listening to my sounding off on the subject.

Hi Nikos Thanks for the prompt reply. If, as you say, mine is not the common experience, then my guess is that they were doing a random check, as I have a cast-iron credit record and I've just confirmed that my credit card hasn't been compromised. Their complaint appeared to be simply that they didn...

Lifetime upgrade offer

Hi Nikos You've just lost an order! I received your email about the new lifetime upgrade - it sounded like a good investment so I went online and ordered it through the Plimus outfit as requested. Next thing I know I've got the prats trying to telephone me to 'verify the order', which it appears the...

I've mentioned this one before - a global Autosize option.  With the option selected, every folder I go to should open in Autosize.  Oh, bliss!

If I'm using my CAD program I need the UNDO feature because I have no other way of stepping back and retrieving entities. The same applies to a text editor, or I suppose, a word processor (rarely used). In explorer2 I am manipulating files and folders and any action I make which I want to reverse is...

'Topmost' fixed it, and I didn't even know it was there.  How many years have I been using PCs?

Thanks, Nikos and Richard.  You're quite right, it is pure Windows, and so a slapped wrist for me for doubting xplorer2!

Scrap Containers

The operation of the Scrap Containers is puzzling. 1. Open a scrap container. It is visible on screen. 2. Select a file to add to the scrap container. The scrap container is immediately minimised to the Windows taskbar. Why? I'm using it and want it to be visible. 3. I must then drag-drop or CTRL-S ...

Thanks for the quick response, Nikos.

I use the shortcuts but a global setting would really put the icing on the cake.
