Thank you, Demetris, I was hoping for a suggestion like yours.  I'll give Autohotkey a try next weekend and let you know if I emerge still smiling.

FGagnon, you are the embodiment of graciousness

Mea culpa... I was at the office on my Linux system when I wrote that, and I just hastened home (in doubt) and discovered my mistake.  You're faster than I, PGagnon, & I should learn when to keep my mouth shut.  Sorry. :oops: Still, a search syntax whose behavior doesn't change depending on the ...

As a perl programmer, (and, I suppose, as a pest), I still think that the simplest and most general solution to all filtering difficulties would be to allow filename lookups to be specified by regular expressions. Be that as it may, it seems to me that the "*" pre- and post-pending is disa...

Hi Nikos!  I already knew that... it's what you replied to Mike Baxter.  (I also, before posting, looked high & low in the Manual lest Narayan think I was paying no attention to him or to his friendly admonishments.  :wink: ) As shortcuts go, I find the various possibilities all pretty windy.  W...

I'd like to revisit a topic which has been mentioned in the past: What would make things really fine would be a quick key to switch between 'detail' and 'thumbnail' view. (Mike Baxter, Mon Oct 11, 2004) Switching between views with a single operation is something I have wished X2 would allow since I...

Nice to know they have a spokesman.  Cache away, TzunamiZ.  

Thanks for the suggestion, Nikos, but I've been up and down the twisty corridors of the security tab to no avail.  (I wonder what brain-frazzled MMI specialist designed THAT particular nest of spaghetti.) After a few more tries, I now think that the "read-only" property of a directory is b...

Perhaps someone can help with a "read-only" problem I have with directories on my NTFS system.  External programs I've written in perl are sometimes unable to rename a directory, getting a "Permission denied" error message. When I look at the directory's properties using <F12> (w...

Caching is nice for viewing stable directories.  Before I discovered xplorer2, I configured MS Explorer to cache thumbnails.  After a short time, however, I disabled this due to the disadvantages: - it eats up amazing amounts of disk space over time - the caches get recreated too easily when files a...

BRX's suggestions are top-flight. I'd like to echo them and offer an idea about how one of them might be implemented (if Nikos is of a mind to do so) without introducing new checkboxes & registry whatzits). 1.   Selecting the entire filename with <F2><F2> Echoing BRX's caveat about whether it's ...

ckit's reply to Nikos's dogface comment is about the funniest visual posting I've ever seen   I echo his and RickyF's thoughts too, I don't really care how xplorer2 looks (& it looks fine to me!), just how it works!

I think Nikos is closing in on the whole point of the discussion...

nikos wrote:why would a dot be such an important part of a folder name as opposed to a space or underscore is beyond me

The dot isn't more important than the other symbols.  It's just xplorer2 which insists that it should be.  :P

Thanks narayan & nikos.  I can be pretty thick-headed but I'm getting the picture.  When in doubt... 1)  check manual 2)  check registry.txt if not found 3)  make sure you've got the up-to-date version if not found 4)  come here & look through forums I can't think of another product which is...

Hi Nikos, Maybe this is the solution. I found a description for the function CompareString on the MSDN web site which indicates that when used with no special arguemtns, it uses the librarian's sorting method (called the "Word Sort"), which treats hyphens and single-quotes specially.  If o...
