Re: improved Focus highlight?

Thank you for your reply. When I mirror browse thumbnails, the dotted-line-focus-highlight-in-the-inacvive-pane is especially hard to see because it is overwhelmed by the thumbnail itself. OK so I can't modify the file name text highlight, but Is there anything I could do with that inactive-thumbnai...

improved Focus highlight?

Hi When using Dual Pane view AND Mirror browsing The Active pane Focused item is highlighted in pale-blue and the inactive pane focus is highlighted by a dotted outline of the filename. I find the dotted-outline hard to identify (Perhaps ageing eyesight?) Is there a way to change the settings to sel...

Re: Feature = button option to clear filter box

fair point. But if you ignore more 'recent' feedback you may miss the opportunity to make genuine iprovements. Idea: could you make it so that 1. if people press F2 in the filter box 2. then up pops a message ... "Shortcut key change.... From version 5.2.x.xx, F2 no longer clears the filter box...

Re: Feature = button option to clear filter box

Hi Nikos

I think

and
TAB to switch to next pane

seems more 'intuitive'

but :shrug:

Re: Paste Special - Structures Scrap Clips - Zipped files

Hi John

Thanks for the encouragement :-)

I always have the feeling that when I post MY answer most of the forum readers will find it
simplistic and obvious, and possibly wrong!

then I sternly tell myself to write what I would have liked to find before I had to go and find my own answer. :lol:

Re: Float the preview panel using Keyboard shortcut?

Could the macro command numners
45000 - 45059

be added to
> Customise > Keyboard > Category = miscellaneous

so users could then asscoiate macro shortcuts to assigned keys?


If not now, could this be added to the features of the new release?

Re: new version under way

The xplorer² online help is relatively good with explaining macros, see x2help.htm#pr_macro in your installation. :) Yes, xplorer2 is really powerful. But I find that getting access to much of that power needs me to learn/fiddle with stuff. It is great that macros can do so much, but if you are sel...

Re: Paste Special - Structures Scrap Clips - Zipped files

I used the Structured scrap clips method for many years. During Covid I developed some code using window's robocopy at the time I did careful checking to proove that the 2 methods produced the same recults - which they did. I now find the robocopy method simpler to use once a year (or whenever) OBJE...

Re: new version under way

if you assign the command to a macro then you can assign a keyboard command to it Nope, I was never able to get the macro to work ... Not a coder/prorgammer.
