This appears to be part of the eternal headaches for small dev's . Especially these days where many over-anxious companies (in this case the ever-unreliable Trend Micro, but applies to Malwarebytes, et al), who base their "web protection" modules rather indiscriminately, thinking that if i...

Small update to 2.0.4 for compatibility with x2 version 3.4.0.2 (Nikos really shouldn't be allowed to meddle with his own code without parental supervision anymore - he keeps changing things so insignificant that he thinks no one would ever notice, yet these changes always accumulate to upset my pre...

The first link (v1.2) in the initial post works fine (it's my dropbox). The programme was last updated in 2016. I think Nikos keeps an official copy in a blog-post, but God only knows which one it's in... All 'public' dropbox links on the internet had to be changed a few months ago, and it would app...

It would be more logical if clicking the 'x' on the filterbar also cancelled colour-filters even if there is no actual text in the filterbar itself (you filter all results by only by colour tags). As it is now, the only way to cancel that filter is to double-click the status-bar filter icon (which i...

Just what does this have [to do with] the OP? Well, you posited your ideas, Nikos dismissed them as more or less "not a good idea", and you didn't fight back. I argued in your case, Nikos became sullen, grumpy, non-committal, and tried to change the topic, which is always a sure sign that...

Tools -> Advanced Options -> Layout Settings (Tab) -> Max Button Width Set it to something quite high, like 150, so the label-text may extend beyond the borders of the icon itself. The default is 64. is there a way to set a single hotkey to go straight to Customize\Folder Groups? You won't get the ...

...but also including licensing restrictions which make redistribution gross, at best. The GNU LGPL doesn't seem very draconian... just the usual stuff about releasing source-code with it, etc, and probably not using it to scam little old ladies out of their poodle's inheritance money. :shrug: I al...

Ok, I'm less happy now - it appears Qt is aimed squarely at C++, and is (much like raw COM) apparently somewhat painful to use in proper C (not impossible, just irritating); I am not slumming it in C++ just to become a cross-dressing masochist in my old age. And yeah, the redist's seem somewhat dist...

...there is no actively recommended and developed GUI framework for pure desktop applications anymore if you do not intend to dig into the ugly waters of the WinAPI Ugly is as ugly does... one of these days I'll look into Qt as a going concern, but every time I sit down and say "Today's the da...

Last time I checked MinGW (at least the 64-bit version), there were a lot of DLLs involved. Well sure, as part of the compiler (no one ever said you had to use them, or worse, redistribute them). And almost all of them are for C++, not C. I was referring to just the simple ability to write a "...

Unless you already use Visual Studio which reduces the additionally used bytes to 0. Ah, but what was the overhead of the VS download in the first-place, never mind disc-space, registry flogging, and endless endless endless updates of .NET? (And I mean frikkin' endless .) A fully-stocked dual-compi...

I actually doubt that GCC is a nice environment for anything related to WinAPI development. Carefully adjusting your bits and bytes to work as low-level as possible ... Not so bad as all that... MinGW takes much of the pain out of it... in fact about the only thing I've seen that needs special atte...

As opposed to an UN worthy complaint? Well, worthy in the sense of the lad who cried wolf... one thing leads to another and before you know it, the stork is bringing you a special unwanted bundle of peculiarities. :shrug: I'm doing my best to at least pester him into a hissy fit on this one, so may...

Nikos is just trying to change the subject, away from UI symmetry and onto the nuclear family - like 8 legs aren't enough to confuse the average load of washed socks. That's a dirty trick in more ways than one. Do you intend to make x² more family-friendly with blue/reddish gumball animations Judgin...

Ah hah! I knew the old cynic was still reading even when he pretends not to. Remember, a more symmetrical context menu can set you free! Really! Every now and then even PJ makes a worthy complaint.
