unfortunately, 2x cannot help you unless there is some pattern in the filenames you can exploit. What you already do is your best bet i could add a command in the future to select items by index, so you could tell 2x to "select from item 1500 to 2000", but i don't know if anybody else woul...

batch files always run under the command processor (similar to $ ). I hadn't thought of sending their output to the x2 console, but you gave me a good idea! -- i'll add this at some point

unfortunately i can't think of a way to redirect > in a way that non-console programs will work. With $ the situation is simple since all executions go through a single well known program (cmd.exe or command.com) whose behaviour can be redirected consistently. I wouldn't want to imagine what would h...

i take it you are talking about the thumbnail viewer pane in 2xExplorer. This is a toolbar (like the tree) so you can resize and dock it at will -- see FAQ #6 for general toolbar management for the b&w issue, i can't tell why. Does it happen in your explorer as well? (when in webview mode) in ge...

">" is meant for generic win32 programs (e.g. notepad). It seems that this lame (no pun intended :) ) program of yours has a dual personality. As things are designed only $-output is redirected to the posh x2 console. What happens if you use $ to launch lame? The only problem i could think...

large icon views and grouping are only viable for folders with a few files. For any folder with realistic size, 2x's views and sorting options are the most efficient file management approach. But then again it takes all sorts to make a world :)

the only folder that i use in this fashion is the desktop, where icons are arranged in logical (or not so logical :) ) groups. So there's explorer for the desktop (actually the desktop is explorer) and 2x for everything else Xavier, unfortunately this feature is not trivial to implement, so i wouldn...

to be frank, i haven't considered this at all, mostly because it's such hard work. The saving grace is that for the most dangerous operation (delete) there's the recycle bin to bail one out

not all $ tokens work from the address bar. $B, $E and counters are just for batch files. But I suppose $B/$E make sense from the addressbar too

paste uses the same setting for overwrite confirmation as the Copy To (F5) command. If you have cleared the confirmation check box in the dialog box that appears with F5, then paste won't ask for confirmation either

you'd expect this to happen in 2x since it's cr@p with autorefresh. The sad part is that recycle bin needs to be manually refreshed even in the new xplorer2... i had to admit defeat on this one!
