It's telling that as I turn all of these things on for testing, I turn them off just as quickly when done. Just sayin'. While I'm probably not the target demographic, I do struggle to see who is... :(

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta

if you read the announcement notes... Yeah, my mistake - I only quickly read the highlights in the thread, not the detailed ones. Oh bugger, I just saw that checkboxes are yet another per-pane option. I hate those; they befuddle the mind and make me cry. ...there's an advanced option to make menus ...

Re: xplorer2 v.5.5010 beta

Got a different question - is there a way to reliably use both versions side by side simultaneously? No. By even trying to do so you have already crossed the streams of the space-time continuum and now all cups of coffee in the southern-hemisphere will taste like tuna fish. This is a very bad thing...

Re: Can't open new tab with everything

Might you can try it my way and you will find that what I say is true! For what it's worth, I cannot recreate this - folders opened from Everything (x64) will open in a new tab in x2-lite every time, regardless of how x2 is started (<Win+R> or a normal shortcut). It behaves the same using Lite or P...

Re: v6 update: simple filters

however you cannot have a major version uphaul without some change Yeah, but when the doctor gave you a consultation for your facelift, you didn't believe his making you look like Brad Pitt would actually change your inner-karma did you? I mean, that forum-profile picture of yours says it all, time...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls

you can limit how many bookmarks appear in the menu... but then you won't have icons for all of them if you add them on toolbars Ah, sōdesu ka, Nikos-san. Who would ever think to look for something called "Menu Column Break"? I mean, really... Should have been called "Super Trans-Gal...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls

dark mode black magic basics... (but then scrollers get white) Always a nice sign when there's an explicit void FixDarkScrollBar(), to suggest the void is indeed a void. Menus with a horizontal break paint white, don't know why... Which is why amongst the chaff, I suggested something about truncati...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls

That would be just a tad over 500 words, I'll have you know; Like all things in life, I did say the nutritional value might be less than the label suggests. :twisted: Resurrection is not pretty. It is not delightful. It is not celebratory. Like all things internet-related, curiosity is not well rewa...

Have a look at this thread [...] and give us some updates Well, "Updates" is such a strong word, and one unlikely to indicate the actual nutritional values of what it says on the tin. :wink: As per the thread, though, it's a little disturbing the lengths people will go through to increase...

Re: blog: dark mode listview controls

Not directly related to listviews, but I discovered an odd side effect in this darkmode pursuit of yours. I don't know what method you used to colour the backgrounds of context-menus, but I was working on an update for another plugin of mine (that has its own GUI) when I right-clicked in an editing ...

Re: SizeES: A Plugin for Fast, Persistent FolderSizes in x2 via Everything Search

Just remember that v6 needs substance more than a "facelift". Bah!

We'll also note that when those other FM's incorporated ES, they didn't just use it for search, they used it for this. Just sayin'. :wink:

you know about the other "official" foldersize solution for this purpose, right? But no problem reinventing the wheel! <Sigh> One day you will actually read my posts (which are trying to help you - you ungrateful wretch!), and you'd see that I already acknowledged its pallid existence... ...

Re: SizeES: A Plugin for Fast, Persistent FolderSizes in x2 via Everything Search

According to tradition, Lazarus never smiled during the thirty years after his resurrection, worried by the sight of unredeemed souls he had seen during his four-day stay in Hell. The only exception was, when he saw someone stealing a pot, he smilingly said: "the clay steals the clay." Wo...

SizeES: A Plugin for Fast, Persistent FolderSizes in x2 via Everything Search

So there I was, riding through Paris in a sportscar with the warm wind in my hair, when Thanos snapped his fingers... and... poof... Anyway... I saw that other FMs are embedding this Everything tool, I might consider it but wouldn't know how to go about it. Which is why you dragged me back from the ...
