Well, the visual filters and the filterbox don't always play nice together. For instance, if a rule-based filter is applied on top a filter set in the filterbox, the results are not correct. Let's say we have the following files:  dog.lib  cat.lib  cat.h  cat.o  cat.c  dog.h  dog.o  dog.c   Enter &q...

if you are in filter mode then just start typing and eventually the focus will jump to the filter box. Otherwise press shift+tab to go to the addressbar and then another TAB will get you to the filter box. But if you have shell autocompletion on, this won't work so you need to press Alt+right key T...

Okay, I've been using the beta for a month now, and I'm not so impressed by the new, improved desktop search. I mean, it's fine, it does what it says on the tin, but I'm not finding any significant advantages using it over the old robust search. Sure, it's faster searching for text in files in large...

Okay, searched for text in files in some very large folders, and it is as you say. :)

I also find myself in category # 2, not really caring about fast search. But after playing with the beta, here's some feedback: The new search is snappier, but I can't say I'm feeling the "dramatic improvement" promised in changes.txt. The ability to save search filters (rather than result...

i didn't add any keyboard shortcuts yet as (a) we have run out of tab-combinations... Why not have Ctrl+Shift+Tab move to and then toggle between the Preview and Detail panes? ...and (b) what do you want to do in that pane anyway? Well, edit the fields, obviously. :) Seeing as the fields are editab...

Details Pane looks interesting. But how does one switch to the Details Pane via the keyboard? For instance, Ctrl+Shift+Tab switches to the Preview Pane, what key combo switches to the Details Pane? Once one is in the Details Pane, Tab and Shift+Tab navigate through the fields; but when one reaches t...

To complete the burn from within x2: Go up a level from the burn folder and select your disc drive. Access the context menu (r-click or Shift-10) and select 'Burn to disc'.

Confirmed. Also I notice that sometimes both the "Look in:" and "Named:" fields are highlighted (though the "Named:" field has focus).

Not running MenuHack, but I had a similar problem: my AutoHotKey scripts stopped working with x2v2. (IIRC, MenuHack is written in AHK.) No AHK problems in the beta. Restarting didn't help, but rebooting solved it.

As to a possible cause, I have discovered that the bookmarks generally seemed to have been expunged after I had run my favourite registry cleaners - CCleaner and RevoUninstaller. Since the bookmarks entries are in the registry, I do not currently see how to exclude them from the registry clean proc...

I assume you are referring to the project file icon (.ppr)? Sorry, I can't confirm this behavior on either XP or 7HP SP1; everything PSPad is as normal.
