In the long run, I suggest you just learn to have an open mind If just half of the hours I've spent over the last 10 years futilely attempting to wrestle MS products into tools that are logical, clear, efficient, and flexible  had instead been spent learning Linux and programming, I'd probably by n...

if you have the latest version of xplorer2 then it asks you whether you want to apply it to subfolders or not, so please be careful what you answer. In general custom folder settings should be used sparringly, see here for more information www.zabkat.com/blog/23Mar08.htm What I'm saying is, sometim...

there are a few explanations possible, either you've used custom folder settings in the past and forgot about it (Actions > Folder settings menu) or you are mixing columns from LIBRARY folders and normal folders 1st possibility: I don't see how that could be the case, since it's columns such as bit...

I'm getting columns showing up in folders where I didn't choose to have them displayed.

For example, bit rate is showing up in document-only folders where I've never chosen to display bit rate, nor did I in their parent folders.

Xplorer2 isn't saving the folder settings to subfolders when I tell it to.

It does work sometimes, but not others.

I tried clearing the folder settings. Doesn't help.

[Sorry for the posting barrage] That said, given time, and a few useful painkillers , you too may survive the future. :shrug: Holy crap! This is AMAZING. Exactly what I wanted but didn't know how to find. Can't wait to see what all it does - unless, of course, I can permanently switch over to XP Mod...

But wait -

Why is Refresh Thumbnails on the list of features removed in Vista, but *not* on the list of features removed in Windows 7?

Also, does this mean that since there's no Refresh Thumbnails in Win 7 Windows Explorer, it's impossible for xplorer2 to have it?

Just in case you need a little more incentive to just give up and fall into the abyss, you may find holding hands with List of features removed in Windows 7 on the way down will dull the eventual pain through insult to injury, and quicken the enveloping darkness for your humble soul. Thank you for ...

where did you find the refresh thumbnail command? Can't you find it within xplorer2 too? No, I'm not seeing any Refresh Thumbnail option in xplorer2. Where is it? The 'Refresh thumbnail' that I am familiar with is in Windows Explorer - or whatever it's called - the thing, in Windows, which lists al...

How do you make xplorer2 refresh thumbnails of photos, like in Windows Explorer where you can right click > Refresh Thumbnail? Preferably many at once. After I altered some photos, xlporer2 continues to display the thumbnails of the photos as they were before altering. I rotated the photos 90 degree...

This is the price you pay for (among other things) variable size thumbnails capability (e.g. small/large) Ah, OK. Gotcha. (Feature request: Allow caching of thumbnails to be turned on :-) even if it means disabling choice of thumbnail size. I navigate frequently to and from folders with many photos...

Xplorer2 sometimes takes very long to display thumbnails - say, 3 to 30 seconds *per thumbnail*, whereas ordinary Windows Explorer will always run through the entire folder in a couple of seconds. Some thumbnails don't ever get displayed, and again, Windows Explorer does show thumbnails for those sa...
