Re: New Feature Suggestion
For a moment there, Nikos, I thought I might have been wasting your time - I noticed that the version on the server was pretty old (2.2) and thought maybe that was the problem! Not so, though, unfortunately. I uninstalled it and told the uninstaller to remove all settings (including my licence info ...

Re: New Feature Suggestion
Well, I don't go overboard with columns, and I work almost exclusively in details mode. In the left pane I have name, size, modified date, attributes, create date. In the right-hand pane I have name, size, modified date, create date, accessed date, and attributes. (They're not different for any good...

Re: New Feature Suggestion
I'd be interested to know what happens if you switch the two panes around (Ctrl+U) then drag the other way (ie from bottom to top rather than top to bottom). This probably sounds like the stupidest suggestion ever, but I have a reason for making it. I routinely have problems when I'm working in Remo...

Thanks Nikos, that seems to work quite well, and I already have the most important network drives mapped. I do sometimes have to browse more widely, but I guess I can always run X2 without the parameters (on those occasions I expect long pauses and am quite happy to live with them, no matter what fi...

Still choking on the desktop
Nikos, sorry to raise an old issue, but it's become more of a problem for me recently, and I'd really like to suggest a workaround. The problem has been discussed on at least two threads previously - essentially, if you try to access the desktop shell folder (eg Go to -> Special folders -> desktop) ...

Some more info: If I wait long enough, the desktop contents will eventually display, but it takes 30 seconds or more (I haven't had the patience to wait *that* long before... ) Comparing what's visible there with what shows up in Windows Explorer when clicking the Desktop link, there's one differenc...

Sigh... and now the problem has come back. It did work, briefly, after I deleted the shortcut I mentioned in my previous post, but today it's hanging again (and I haven't changed anything on the desktop). The only difference (which may well be significant in some way) is that today the machine is on...

Ok, well I'm not sure whether this will help anyone else, but I finally figured out the cause in my case at least. A couple of weeks ago I created a shortcut on my desktop to launch the Services applet from the Windows control panel - that was the only thing on there that was even vaguely unusual, s...

This sounds like *exactly* the same problem I reported a few weeks ago, and I still haven't figured it out. If I select the desktop from X2's Goto->Special Folders->Desktop it hangs as described. However, if I navigate to the desktop folder manually via the file tree or whatever, it works without pr...

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm still baffled! I'm on the latest release of X2, the Desktop.ini looks fine, and I don't use any out of the ordinary columns - nothing much beyond name, size and date modified, in fact, most of the time. I have X2 on two machines, and am only seeing the problem on ...

Strange hang when attempting to view the desktop
I had a strange problem a couple of days ago, which I've partially solved now, but I'd like to know if anyone else has seen it. I launched X2 from my taskbar shortcut as usual (Win 7, 32 bit), with a single pane. Then I switched to dual-pane view and it froze. The right-hand pane was set to look at ...
