To identify UTF-8 encoded files by its BOM signature: do a Find files containing $EF$BB$BF using RAW encoding.

Note: the SQL Server 2008 OSQL utility does not handle UTF-8 encoded files, thus the need to easily identify these files.

Try running Procmon from Sysinternals. This will show you lots of details of what Xplorer2 is doing during the search, and may tell you what's causing the error.

I often use mirror scrolling when comparing the contents of 2 folders, after using F9 or ctrl-F9 to select files that have changed. I turn on the Sticky option and keep both panes in the detail view. I use the up/down arrows or ctrl-up/down to navigate to a highlighted file and, thanks to mirrored s...

yes, you missed the description of conditions for where that doesn't happen. Simple example: you have a folder "Downloads" with 100 subfolders, and 1. you are viewing the MicroStuff subfolder. 2. Use the dirty rodent in the tree to navigate to the Zabkat subfolder. 3. Hit backspace, and y...

I am with BRX and Cosmo in wanting some way to consistently move to the parent folder with the current child folder selected. I am often confused when navigating to the parent folder in X2 as I expect that the folder I just came from would be highlighted, but it often is not. I'm glad for the discus...

Is it possible to create a shortcut or a user command so I can open an FTP site in an X2 pane? (When I type an ftp address in the address bar, X2 opens the site in the active pane. But, when I double click a shortcut in X2, the FTP site opens in a new IE window. I haven't been able to get a user com...

Win2K SP4, x2 1.5.0.0. Compare subfolders command. Scrap pane opens and beeps twice. The status line displays "Can't group on this column" with the yellow exclamation mark for a few seconds. I didn't notice this happening in 1.4.0.1.

Anyone else seeing this?

Using x2 1.5.0.0 on Win2K SP4. View, Arrange By, Show in Groups is always grayed out. I've tried sorting by extension, size, and modified date with different view settings. Any ideas?

I forgot about the options dialog. And, yes, I can use the tab key to move focus to the Close button (or ESC). Close just doesn't get focus the first time around.

I'm still seeing it (1.4.0.1). The focus is on the From: field after the first copy, then on Close on subsequent copies. Note that my binRobustCopy registry setting = 512 which makes the "Keep this window open at the end of the transfer" checkbox stay checked for all robust copy operations...

I really like the scrap container feature, though I'm still learning the nuances of how to use them. My misunderstanding of the following almost caused some big problems - so I'm sharing this for other's benefit. I was in a folder that contained several sub folders and files. I highlighted all of th...

Gentle reminder - this bug is still present in 1.4.0.1  :?

I like fgagnon's suggestion to make logging of all files configurable. I've needed the full list on occasion.

Find files containing $FF$FE using Raw encoding in v1.3.0.0 works fine for my needs (original post). Thanks Nikos!

Things I miss when I have to use a PC without X2: 1. Viewing contents of files as text or hex using F3 (why I found 2x a while back). 2. 2 pane copy 3. Robust copy and how it handles errors. 4. Alt-F3 copy path 5. Keyboard friendly navigation Some things I can't do any other way except X2 (at least ...
