I see what you're saying about the columns coming back, it is an unfortunate side effect it is a case of both options having their ups and downs ( damned if you do and damned if you don't :) ) I will consider adding the sort order with the saved column set, it makes sense in the meantime to get out ...

I stand corrected but you know I'm busy writing that v6 thingy so if I read all your posts to the last word, I will never finish

the way the system is organized, is to protect you without losing your settings
so when nFastFilterCnt blocks your preferred sort order, it makes a note to re-enable it for the next (small) folder

perhaps the easier solution for you would be to click on the name column manually?

I suppose you have much bottled up after ... what, 5-6 years in radio silence, so go on, blabber on
you know about the other "official" foldersize solution for this purpose, right? But no problem reinventing the wheel!

as we're closing easter it's only expected to witness resurrections, so Kilmatead welcome back from the dead!

yesterday I didn't realize you were talking about folder sizes -- I thought you somehow integrated ES with xplorer2 via tc plugins...
but obviously that's not possible.

changing columns doesn't have any effect on sort mode.
do you have the latest version?
this caches slow columns, and also warns you about slow columns whenever you enter large folders and sorts by name instead
see nFastFilterCnt registry option for more details

the console output in xplorer2 is a regular editor window like notepad
if you prefer a normal console, use TOOLS > OPTIONS menu and tick off the option "redirect dos command output..." in General property page

weird, but still not reproducible on my win11
perhaps some accessibility feature you have turned on or installed

I can't reproduce that, do you have the latest version 2.99?

as for the current directory problem, it could be that you are using the context menu and in there one of your shell extensions plays with the current directory... if the DLL changes the directory, it goes for xplorer2 too. It is a possibility!

figures of speech are hard to eradicate

probably NVDA cannot read the advanced option because it is disabled... but it is only disabled if it's already ticked off! So that's probably not the cause of the curdir problem. Mystery! as for the titlebar, you can put the folder name first using TOOLS > ADVANCED OPTIONS (!) but you can do it as ...

please see my other reply, the external settings editor cannot be made accessible
the only chance you have is to read the file called REGISTRY.TXT which is in the xplorer2 installation folder and has all the advanced settings, and then use regedit to turn them on/off...

Hi Quin and thanks for your feedback the external settings editor unfortunately cannot be made accessible because I don't have the source code for it. However I am redesigning the settings dialog for v6 into something similar to this external tool, and it is already accessible! I am going to move as...
