I was afraid this was yet another case of me not using the latest version, when I realized I was running 1.7.1.3... but it is fully reproducable with 1.7.1.4 as well. Thing is, you don't see the bug with xplorer^2 nor explorer.exe, but the bug causes problems for other applications. Using SysInterna...

Bug with Junction Creation

Dear Nikos, when you create junctions via the "Paste Special" menu function, the junction target has a backslash appended. Ie., when I moved "%APPDATA%\BigFolder" to "F:\BigFolder" and created a junction, the junction points to "F:\BigFolder\". When an applica...

64bit windows does a bunch of sandboxing for wow64 (ie., 32bit apps) - including redirecting certain folders for compatibility options. See here (search for "kernel32.Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection") for a fix... would requires Nikos to do some (trivial) updating of the sourcecode, though.

Bender: check the first page in this thread, about halfway down (search for kernel32.Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection) - that shows how xplorer^2 can  "show the filesystem correctly" without having to go 64-bit.

Doh, just upgraded to a later version, and indeed the queue behavior has been changed! :oops: Wish I had upgraded earlier today - I was moving ~100gig from a decommissioned server to an external firewire harddrive, and needed to move some stuff from one partition on my local system to another; once ...

Robust Transfer / Queue bug

Hey Nikos, I have an issue with queueing in Robust Transfer - and I doubt this is something you're doing by design :) Anyway, sometimes when moving a lot of files around, using the queue, I have to move a few files while the queue is transferring. The problem is that once this "secondary move&q...

I second that the Robust Transfer engine needs some fixing for streams... I don't really mind the dialog telling me that streams couldn't be copied to destination, but if I've doing a MOVE job and choose to IGNORE the streams problem, the files with streams are copied but not removed from source loc...

Ah, automatic translations. I remember using babelfish back in school when I had Spanish classes, since I've never really been able to grok any foreign languages but English (and a range of programming languages ;)). Wasn't perfect though, my teacher laughed a bit at a sentence which basically wound...

Bender: it's possible to have 32-bit app but 64-bit shell extension, since the shell extension is an external DLL... This (64-bit) DLL has no trouble executing the (32-bit) main application. Using 64-bit shell extensions in a 32-bit application, though? Well, nothing is impossible , but my guesstima...

Hmm, that thread mentions ATI drivers... I wonder if the bug is reproducable on non-ATI cards? ATI have been known to write some very, very, very, very buggy drivers.

johngalt: that would work too, but can be a bother to set up, and is imho overkill for this. What I meant is simply that all builds of explorer^2 would support both XML-config (or whatever you wish for portable use) as well as traditional registry support, and the end-user can choose which to use. ...

A more sane option: polymorphic configuration handler that can be instantiated for either XML based or registry config at runtime, without any fancy recompilation :)

In theory you could use your single x^2 license for all machines at home, depending on your morals. I think Nikos once (by private email) even said that this would be okay, as long as you're only using it on one machine at a time (ie., you could consider the license to be person-bound rather than ma...

My honest opinion is that all software should come with ONLY a lifetime registration. I really dislike having to pay over and over again every year or so. Having said that I think the price for the upgrade that I need to buy now is fair though. Imho it's fair enough to ask for money for each major ...
