Re: build 4002 released

[T]o delete a saved formula, empty the definition and click SAVE
Oh, you mean:
1 - Select a Predefined formula
2 - Blank out the formula-content field
3 - Click Save. Confirmation prompt is "Are you sure you want to delete this filter from the list?"
Got it, thx.

Re: build 4002 released

Humble requests, O benevolent provider of power-user widgets-n-things, for the wonderful and amazing Programmable column dialog ... - fix the Tab-order so that the formula field comes after the Function dropdown and before the Save+Predefined pair. - consider swapping Predefined to the left with Sav...

Re: Non-standard - and in fact, really awful - list display

Reading your posts gives me a headache. Some high-usability systems are known for ... the Scroll-Down and Scroll-Up arrow keys move the control's "background", so the cursor / highlight effect does not move vertically, but the data items behind it *do* move. This would solve the whole prob...

Re: Non-standard - and in fact, really awful - list display

Agree; the ability to auto-position a Tree's current item at one-third down the screen / window / client area would be great. One-fourth down would be even better. Point is, the default Windows-way is not good enough, and not consistent enough. Also Mark > Selection > Show is annoyingly "not ap...

Re: Columns Do Not Persist When Changing Folders

Right, the only reason I mention it is because both tabs show exactly the same columns, including Modified [S], but the date values are all displayed differently between the two tabs for the same files. One tab is through Libraries and the other is through Computer.

Re: Non-standard - and in fact, really awful - list display

I share this complaint - about the Tree pane. When drilling down and navigating folders, I can select the next step in the path by typing the first letter or two of the folder name. The most-used folders have single digits at the start of their names. This means they always appear at the top of the ...

Re: Columns Do Not Persist When Changing Folders

Here's another unexpected weirdness.

When looking at the same folder through the two tabs, the same files show Modified-Dates that are different by one or two seconds.

Re: Columns Do Not Persist When Changing Folders

Wow, I'll have to watch and see when it happens or not. Yes it seemed like an indexing or off-by-one type of error. Also that's kind of annoying. Sounds like a bug in Windows 8 Libraries, eh? Something that xp2 and competitors should not have to compensate for. When I navigate manually, I always sta...

Re: Columns Do Not Persist When Changing Folders

My problem is, after saving that folder's columns to a desktop.ini file, come back later to display that folder, and some columns are wrong. The header shows a different column name, and of course the rows are usually empty because the files don't have that property. Then re-set the columns, re-save...

Re: clicking and dragging to select files

Wow, that is the trick right there! For dragging a single file, click the actual filename text and not the trailing blank area in the "Name" column. With View / 'Pane style' set to 'Details' and Tools / Options / Window / 'Full row selection' checked 'On': Outside any columns / in the empt...
