Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully

...there is still Clang... So, just for the laughs and giggles, I spent some time playing around with Clang LLVM to see what the fuss is about... Curiously enough, despite a ridiculous install-size of 830Mb it doesn't actually ship with any Windows-compatible includes or libraries - essentially all...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released

Funny thing, when Vista Effects are disabled, only 'List' style is effected... details ('report') style still responds to the changeable EASYBGMENU state. Odd. Nonetheless I will use the color tags; they are nice. They'd be nicer if the rectangle had uniform thickness . Just sayin'. :twisted: :wink:...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released

That's ok - glad it works. Nikos deserves this kind of messy thread for making us jump through these silly hoops to begin with. He is a moderator after all, let him edit it all out. :evil: * But if he removes the quip about "butt-protection" I'll make it my life's purpose to just keep kick...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released

Well, you must have done something wrong, because I've been using the setting for the last year or so without issue. (I just tested it by subtracting to deactivate it and then reapplied and both states acted as expected.) Remember that it must be done for both left and right panes separately, with x...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released

A color-tagged label in list view ought to work (it's only my opinion of course) like full-row select in details view. That would be solved by this (CLVOPT_NOEASYBGMENU). Applies to both 'details' and 'list' pane styles. Of course, if you actually like the god-awful (evil, evil, evil) EASYBGMENU, t...

Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully

I've read that GCC, in general, is far from being a decent compiler, it tends to over-optimize your code by removing deliberately inserting verbose debugging. The joy of efficiency, I guess. If MinGW - we had this discussion... :D - will fail as expected, there is still Clang to sweep it up. It's u...

Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully

Doesn't the inclusion of "efficiency improvements" basically tell us that previous versions were not efficient Well, some memory allocations were... um... "over-provisioned", and multi-threaded applications are a royal patoot's-behind to make efficient on the first try. So, I ma...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released

Yeah, I figured you'd do that much (it only took about 10 minutes to make this menu, so it's hardly quantum tech), but the more pressing question is will you add proper colour configuration nonsense to the advanced settings thingy like you should? I mean, who manually edits the registry any more bes...

Re: Khronos: A Plugin for Ageing Gracefully

Version 0.0.2.5 is now available (see links in original post at the top of this thread), bringing a few new features, efficiency improvements, bugfixes, etc. To update, just use the x2 Plugin Manager to disable the plugin, replace the file with the new one, then re-enable it. Any previously modified...

Re: xplorer2 v3.5 final released

for other colors you'd need AHK or something equivalent No you don't, it's just 39000 + x where x is 1 for Kinky Chartreuse, 2 for Gross Green, 3 for Blue Bayou, etc. I found it easier to just recreate the context menu as a toolbar button instead. Sooner or later I'll add a real customising option,...

Re: How to update my portable version?

As to your "moral insights", thanks for sharing, but... Don't get me wrong - when given a choice of using software, 9 times out of 10 I will also choose the portable option where one is available... they tend to be easier to backup and restore to other systems as needs be, and generally p...

Re: not receiving email notifications

Yeah, this is really rather annoying - I too, have not received any email notifications from the forum since August 16th. This applies to everything from normal subscriptions (specific threads the user has posted within) to private messages. If it's broken for everyone, there's no way to know of rep...

Re: Turn off alert sound when opening new folder

This is in no way normal behaviour, and is indicative of something (a misbehaving shell-extension?) specific to your system. What is the error/warning message reported in x2's status-bar (View -> Toolbars -> Status bar) when the sound occurs? Just browsing folders should have no such side-effects. W...
