Slow double left-click not working

Hello, For some reason slow double left click has stopped working, that is I can't select a folder or file name, pause a second or so, then click it again to open the name field for editing. The "eat the first mouse click...." option setting has no effect. Any idea what's going wrong? I re...

is this deep path structure something you did yourself? When xplorer2 encounters long paths then it automatically converts them to 8.3 format. So add 2 more not rules: NOT path contains "\progra~" NOT path contains "\applic~" Hi Nikos, No, the deep path structure is something th...

Hi Kilmatead and Nikos, I didn't know those "recursion block" options were there, so I selected them to see what would happen. As you point out, Nikos, these simple text filters for "Path" should work.  And yes, I've been checking to make sure that the correct filter is selected ...

Problem with hyperfilters in Windows 7

Hi Everyone, I've run into a strange problem using hyperfilters with the "Copy To" command.  It seems that no matter how I define elements of a file's pathname that I want to exclude, I keep getting folders with the excluded pathnames at the destination.  The files inside the folders are f...

Thanx Kilmatead!   Now, I have new info for both you and Nikos: My C: drive is going south, and not just past the Mason-Dixon line.  Until I fix that situation, all bets with these copy operations are officially off. I didn't realize this was happening until system startup this AM, when Windows 7 di...

Hi, The only filter I use is "Overwrite if newer, else skip".  In other words, it's supposed to be a simple update copy, like using XCOPY with the /D switch. I haven't tried drag-and-drop yet.  My dumb.  I'm shutting down now, will try tomorrow and post results. BTW XCOPY ran without a hit...

Stalls during robust file transfer

Hi Everyone, I'm using xplorer2 pro on a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I was attempting to do a robust file transfer to an external USB hard drive when I noticed that the copying was stalling for several minutes, at least 2 or more times per hour. I ran the Task Manager during one of the stall...

Explorer replacement for "Save As..." in applicati

Hi Everyone, I'm running Vista Ultimate SP2, Xplorer2 Pro 1.8.0.9 [Unicode].  I have Explorer Replacement enabled, which works OK as far as opening folders is concerned. I was wondering if there's any way to get Xplorer2 Pro to replace Explorer when entering "Save as..." in an application....

it stays resident because next time you want to open a folder you want to do it faster, no? This caused a problem when I tried to install the update to version  1.8.0.1.  Even though I quit all instances of Xplorer before running the installation program, I got an error message saying the file &quo...

This is an update for anyone who's interested in this topic. As my signature now shows, I was successful in getting rid of Vista SP1 and restoring XP SP3.  Actually I had to restore to SP2 first, then upgrade to SP3, but that was the least of my worries during the process. As I predicted in an earli...

Re: I use the free Rename Master

I have found nothing that the free Rename Master couldn't do. Plus if you install the Optional Right-Click Addon, Rename Master will show up as an option in xplorer's right-click menu when you have more the one file selected. That's a good way to integrate it with Xplorer.  Thanx for that tip. I ca...

Can you copy files that have a Read Only attribute set? Well, I didn't notice any obvious problems with read-only files.  I had checked the option to clear the read-only bits on the destination files.  I'm not sure if that makes any difference. Besides, WINBATCH.INI wasn't a read-only file. I think...

Strange filtering during "Copy to", then hangs

Hi Everyone, I've been trying to do a "Copy to" operation with a few folders, from my hard drive C:\ to a USB external drive J:\ I kept having problems with Xplorer2 hanging shortly after starting the copy, so I narrowed down the problem files and defined some filters to keep Xplorer2 from...
