Strange edge-case failure in mass rename wizard

I have lots of files with names like "asdf.see.see" (asdf varies; ".see.see" does not). I seek to rename them using the mass rename wizard specifying that I want ".see.see" to become ".see". Alternatively I seek to rename them using the mass rename wizard spec...

Re: xplorer2 beta version 5.007

Thanks for the slightly larger dialog text. The new icons in the dialogs, though, are harsh (starkly black and white) and awkward graphically. and I could not make visual sense of some of them (I had to click on a couple to see what they were). The old ones were graceful and clear. (Yes, de gustibus...

Re: xplorer2 update

(b) Add a command line option to specify the icon that will be used by this execution of the command. You ask "what do you mean "command line icon"?". I mean a custom icon for X2. Provide a command line option like /K (for example below): "E:\Explorer Squared\xplorer2_64.ex...

Thanks for the fast info. Note that it doesn't work for icons either. Cheers.

Cannot get siht+left or shift+right to wrap in icon or thumbnail view

Using the latest X2 (5.0.0.3 ULT x64 6/13/2021) on Win 10 X64, In any icon view or thumbnail view I cannot get shift+left or shift+right to wrap from line to line as I try to select bunches of files. The selecton cursor gets stuck at the left or right end of the line. Shift+up and Shift+down work as...

Re: Can't get the 450XX codes to work for macros

Well, I have found a way that is working at this time. Been working on this problem for a day and a half, and I swear I tried this before and it didn't work, but it is working now. From AutoHotkey I run this: ; Edit1 is the name given by AHK to the edit box in the address bar ControlSetText, Edit1, ...

Can't get the 450XX codes to work for macros

The 450XX command codes, corresponding to the keystrokes 0-9 overlaid with various combinations of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift, work fine for user commands but are apparently ignored for macros. I assign a command the hotkey Alt+1 and 45011 will trigger it. I assign a macro the hotkey Alt+2 and 45012 does ...

Re: How to control which X2 instance starts a new instance

Okey doke. I just added logic to my X2 invoking routine for general use, the one which starts each instance and places it where I want it, to detect if any special X2 windows are open and then, if so, to add /P to the parameters for the new window. This means that almost always I am using the normal...

How to control which X2 instance starts a new instance

This is an absurdly minute technical customization question. I normally start X2 without using the /P (start in a separate process) option. Sometimes, however, I need (i.e. want) to start an instance separately, and so use the /P option to do this. So, at that time, I will have a P version and a Non...

Re: Programmable column operator problem

Nikos, I have an enormous number of photos (as have you). They are of many different file types -- .jpg, .bmp, .png, .mp4, .avi, and so on. In a separate .tag file I store what I want to use as one-word tags about a photo (there may be more than one tag). I know about your tagging method, and I know...

Re: Programmable column operator problem

I have managed finally to sort out a GREP solution. The following file2("GREP('^\|\-RGS\-\|$|^\|\-LJS\-\|$|^\|\-LJS\-\|\-RGS\-\|$')",${Path}+mid(${Name},1,len(${Name})-4)+".tag") gives me a 0 or 1 depending on whether there is or is not a match. (Since the documentation says that...

Programmable column operator problem

I am trying to use the programmable column to see if a file consists of one of three specific contents. I want to detect files that contain exactly "|-RGS-|" (without the quotes), "|-LJS'|", and "|-LJS-|-RGS=|". There are no line-end or carriage-return characters in the...
