An idea I have seen on some software is a limited number of "uses" of the program where a "use" means any number of times the program is run in a day. That way if, for some reason, you can't use the program on consecutive days then you still have your total number of days to try ...

I can only flatten one folder at a time you can do that using a dual-pane scrap window (no minis). Select all folders on the left and then press <alt+enter> to flatten them on the right Sorry Nikos, I didn't make it clear I was referring to flattening more than one folder into the mini-scrap. The m...

Hi Nikos Thanks for the K/B shortcuts, as usual it's the Ctrl+Alt that's the problem for me. I had forgotten about the right mouse drag & drop, thanks for reminding me - I'm not a great fan of the mouse. I see I can only flatten one folder at a time, will it be possible to flatten more than one?...

Re: new alpha version 1605

... the jury is still out whether <ctrl+S> should be made to send items in it... PLEASE keep it for the main scrap container. When I started kenny it hadn't remembered the location of my cida files (defaulted to My Documents I think) that I had saved in x² previously - I had to go looking for them....

Thank you for such compliments!!

They are related to speed of operation of x². Appendix 9K - Program options, page 289 of the manual (Version 1.6.0.1-2) explains it. If you have an earlier version of the manual look at "Program options" in the appendices.

It's in the FAQ's (which I assume is the one you have read): C2. I can't see previews for some image files There are a couple of possible explanations. If this only happens to large image files (above 1MB) you may need to increase the thumbnail size limit found in Tools | Options | General. If the p...

http://www.ps.ic.ac.uk/~umeca74/xplorer2.zip is slow sometimes because of the density of traffic, but I don't remember ever having to abort a download.

I'm not sure if the Dvorak keyboard would have any strange effects or not. I know that the Hebrew (right to left writing) produced a strange bug in a program I was helping a friend to develop - the drop down menus were all corrupt. If you can change to a UK/US keyboard it might be worth a try. I can...

Unfortunately no! With the following settings I have no problem with the search. O.S. is XP SP2 with recent updates so it should be very similar to your system. However, I don't have Office 2007. Special folders - My Documents Search subfolders - checked Go depth first - checked Named - BLANK Files ...

Interesting. I used your setting of 15 (Dec) and Dirkey still works for me. What is your O.S.? I'm using XP (English version). It may be something different about the French version, which, I assume, is what you are using. I also assume you have the Dirkey plugin (dkpiu_x2.dll) installed and that it...

Thank you lian for pointing this out, I hadn't noticed that 1.6.0.1 was out. The setting for "DPF_X2TITLETRAIL" is one of the bits in "binDualPaneFlags" under "MainFrame Settings". The default is not set so Dirkey should work by default. That's great Nikos, thank you fo...

Thanks for the AutoHotkey scripts pointers. I hadn't noticed them in the AutoHotkey forum, but there is such a wealth of information there.

Most of my scripts do check class, rather than the title, but no doubt there are some that do use the title and I'll need to check them all.

where were you when people were pushing this new feature on the agenda? :) Same place as I was I suspect, but in the discussion it was not obvious that this title bar change would prevent Dirkey seeing x². I also use Dirkey a lot and if it doesn't work from x² it will be a big loss. The title bar c...

Preview randomly not showing images.

Not a serious problem Nikos, and probably not reproducible. Just pushing x² to it's limits! Single pane and viewer pane (Draft) and a scrap pane containing 21,000 files (approx. 1.5 Gig) from 19 directories. Filter applied to scrap pane (which only removed a few of the files from the list) and then ...
