Re: deskrule 2.03 released
Hi Nikos, I really appreciate your effort but, to be honest, I'm not really sure it works out well for DeskRule. While I'm using Firefox to write this post, I realize they use some black color around 90%, which is more like a really dark gray in the end. Can I suggest you to try maybe 90% black inst...

Re: What is the meaning of "\\?\" at the beginning of paths?
I was just copying some files and found two of them were over 255. X2 works perfectly with them, but not the third party software.
Thanks for your confirmation!

What is the meaning of "\\?\" at the beginning of paths?
Hi,
Anyone knows what does it mean to have "\\?\" at the beginning of paths?
For instance: \\?\E:\Folder1\Folder2\file.txt
Thanks

Re: Can you save the list of files you get when you search something?
Hi Telemacus, You can save the results of your search into .cida files. Then, if you would like to review the results later, you just need to create a new "scrap" window and load the contents of that .cida file instantly. The good thing is that you can change the parameters of the search and save th...

Re: Get list of recently modified files
Woo! I finally found it!
Here's the command:
xcopy %source_folder% %destination_folder% /d:%MM-DD-YYYY% /s /i
This copies the files and folders created after the given date and keeps the folder structure in the destination.
Hope it helps someone in the future

Re: Get list of recently modified files
Hi Nikos, that's not bad at all, but it's not what I'm looking for. Now, using this batch file I'm able to compress in a 7zip file the full contents of C:/Data. The next approach I want is to just archive the files modified over the last week in that same folder. This is so easy with x2, but I'd lik...

Get list of recently modified files
Hi, I have created a batch script to backup into 7z files the contents of one specific folder, let's say: C:/Data With that I'm able to create full backups but I would also like to create differential backups, only including the files modified in the previous day. I've found this page: https://www.w...

Toolbar layout error
Hi Nikos I run x2 in a Microsoft Surface v1 (2013) (1920x1080 display) with Win10 and the path and filter toolbars are showing some layout errors. I don't remember exactly since when this is happening, but I think it's worth to mention. The other toolbars works fine. Please, see attachment. https://...

Re: cloud files
I more versed with azure, but S3 is equivalent. I don't specially like MS explorer for Azure, maybe just personal preference. I own CloudBerry Explorer por Azure and S3, they have more rounded product for AWS than for "MS block blobs". It would be nice to browse this kind of cloud storage with x2, b...

Re: cloud files
This might be out of what you're planning, but since I don't really use consumer cloud storage, have you thought on tackling services as AWS or Azure?
