Hi IS it possible to copy/move the contents of one file attribute to another? eg I have a lot of audio files where I would like to copy the "Album" text into the "Comment" column or maybe the contents of the "Subtitle" field into the "Description field. [1] I can s...

Column customisation - NAME column includes file extension

all the different available NAME columns include the file extension in the displayed information. I think I remember a time when I had a column with just the $B basename; so I could file rename without having to edit around the file extension. Can anyone explain what settings I have mucked up to loo...

Re: Keystroke speed

Thanks for your reply; it prompted my to investigate QuickFilter features rather than keystroke-speeds. I have been able to achieve part of what I wanted by changing Advances settings > incremental search auto-filter == 2 now my slow typing does not cause the focus to jump to some other 'random' fil...

Re: mobile phone storage - no folder sizes

Thanks for the work-around.

It's not as convenient as the normal display of folder sizes though; so can I suggest it for your list of future ideas please

Keystroke speed

Is there a way to adjust the keystroke speed settings required for file name search? example: In a folder with a 2500 files and with the focus in the active pane I can start typing a filename, and the focus will jump to the appropriate letter. I can then type the second character of the filename and...

mobile phone storage - no folder sizes

When I connect my mobile phone (& set android to allow file transfers) I can see the phone using xplorer2 within "THIS-PC". I can successfully drill down into the Internal-storage and into the SD-Card-storage. If I drill down far enough I can see file sizes. But Folder sizes are missin...

Custom color code Rules have disappeared

OH! I was happily using 4.1.0.1 x64 18/10/2018 when all of a sudden my screen flickered and then all the files colours reverted to black. Checks showed that All the rules (except 'encrypted') had disappeared. 1) what on earth could cause this? I then restored from my latest x2settings.reg expecting ...

Re: Native Preview XLSM Excel Macro enabled files

there are a few ways around this, you can do your own registry modifications to apply the same preview handler to xlsm (copy stuff as they exist in xlsx). I have read several online articles and tried to follow the principles/guidance. Sadly I really don't understand what I am doing. Are you able t...

Re: Native Preview XLSM Excel Macro enabled files

To stop xplorer2 asking about downloads make sure you tick the previewer option "don't download activex documents" (see TOOLS > ADVANCED OPTIONS menu command and search for activex in the layout settings page) EXCELLENT. I had spotted this option in Advanced-Options previously but had not...

Re: Native Preview XLSM Excel Macro enabled files

Hi Nikos I understand that this is not a xplorer2 issue per se, I was hoping that X2 is so clever that there might be a trick so that when x2 'submits' an xlsm file to be previewed it pretends that it is an xls file. (OR is there a way to suppress the "do you want to open or save this file"...

When using Native Preview, on Excel files, If They are XLSM (macro-enabled 2010) files then I get No native preview, and a message window = "do you want to open or save this file" This is annoying because I have a lot of xlsm files; and the message window needs to be closed before I can co...
