Re: How do I do...

you know that you can assign direct shortcuts to particular user commands, right? so you execute directly without menus Yes, I know, but that is even more difficult to remember. Ctrl+? for Info. Also, I can only assign numbers, not letters. If I could assign Ctrl+I for Info, then it would be a litt...

Re: How do I do...

i didn't realize you wanted to open the menu, i though you wanted the list of the commands in the DIALOG (Alt+U, U, More) they are functionally the same, and at any rate that's the only one available as a macro adding & in a command name isn't going to work as you've discovered :) O.K. The macr...

Re: How do I do...

F12 to start recording a macro. Alt-U>U to get to the User commands list. click on Finish to end ...

How do I do...

Two things I can't seem to be able to: Create a macro to open the User commands list. I don't want to execute a command, just show the list so I can select a command. I've used AHK to send the command {ALTDOWN}u{ALTUP}u and assigned it to F9, that works. Assign an accelerator key (hot key) to a comm...

Re: v6

... Why don't these guys use an index? ... Because indexes are of no use if you use removable drives. Drive H:\, for example, can be any of about 10 possible drives, depending which drive I plug in. Indexing in that situation does not work. It gets totally confused. Everything goes completely balmy...

I don't like the breadcrumbs bar in other file managers. If x²'s behaves in the same way, and there is no address bar, then I will not be happy with x².

The address bar works - why change it to something that doesn't?

Re: v6

A couple of things I find useful, and use other file managers if I want them: A middle toolbar between the left and right panes. I like it if I'm moving / copying items between panes. It seems logical to have the commands between the panes. A graphical display of used / free disk space. Useful for a...

Re: Recycle Bin

the workaround there would be to select a nearby file you did NOT delete before you hit refresh, that will be remembered Read my post again. That's what I do!! But, if I forget and I'm returned to the top of the list, the air is blue!! I thought about a Macro, but sometimes I want to select the fil...

Re: Recycle Bin

I take it that's a "NO". O.K. Second request. Would it possible to remember the position in the list, either before or after the deleted files, rather than going to the top of the list? I know I can, before I do a refresh, select the file before or after the files I have deleted, but that ...

Re: Recycle Bin

as there are only 24 hours in a day, I must decide what's important to fix and concentrate my efforts I don't think anybody's use of file management is affected severely by pressing CTRL+R for the recycle bin once every blue moon, no? :idea: "Blue moons" occur too often for me!! I do recy...

Re: xplorer2 v5.5 (final) released

I got this error when installing x²:

Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2_ult\xplorer2_64.exe.manifest

The installer tried to access the Internet, but I wasn't on line. Closing the browser, the error cleared and x² appears to have installed O.K.

Ideas??

Seasons greetings.

Seasons greetings and a Happy and prosperous New Year to Nikos, and all forum members.

Thanks to Nikos for all his good work over the years. x² is always a joy to use (even if the font is too small in the help file!!).

Re: Duplicate check not working?

There is a setting "Ignore small duplicate files" in Advanced options.
