Re: Symmetry
Aging gives me a longer and more excessive mid-life crisis than I was hoping in the first place <Applause> You'd be surprised (or, actually, you probably wouldn't be surprised) how that sentiment is rather drastically misunderstood by 89.4% of the world's population. And the remaining 10.6% are sup...

Re: Symmetry
It might not surprise you that I have a copy of Munch's Skrik in my living room as it (and the complimentary diary entry) describes my general feeling rather well. What surprises me is that you have a living room! I always pictured you as a paranoid schizophrenic living alone in a smoke-stained one...

Re: Symmetry
World's greatest artists, including painters, deliberately got rid of symmetry in their most famous - not necessarily, but irregularly also: best - works. There must be something wrong with the equation of symmetry and greatness. Not something "wrong", just something evolutionary. The rem...

Anorakish Ergonomics: 1 Nikos: 0 See, people are dumb. It's a fact. God gives them a whole skull full of deliciously concatenated protoplasm, and they use it to watch the Kardashians and post on Facebook: Good for them. I like Baywatch re-runs: Good for me. However, like many users here (I should im...

1. ...then you'd have to type the path as opposed to getting it free of charge... Apparently you've never had to duplicate a complex user-command, like the rest of us do a million times a week. Users shouldn't experience menus as "a frustrating last resort", they should see them as the fi...

Re: Painless Custom Toolbars (No Morphine/Tourniquets Required)
Not possible (without lots of penicillin and quantum-gymnastics), sorry. Toolbar contents are all tucked away within x2's binary chastity belt, and messing with alternate-layout registry/INI contents is a recipe for chlamydia, syphilis, and all sorts of un-fun gifts that no knight-errant would ever ...

Re: Folder shortcuts on toolbar
You can create a toolbar button that provides a menu of bookmarks. Yeah, an alternate concept there would be quite simple - just inject a selected-path into the addressbar and away you go. It would be easy enough to create a bespoke/dedicated 3rd-party thing for that... re-inventing the wheel, so t...

Re: Folder shortcuts on toolbar
Organisationally-Challenged Power Users excluded , of course. :D (And that's after upping the default 20 "Custom Menu Items" limit in the first place...) Maybe the mini-scrap method is best for that kind of thing? Unwieldy either way, as scaling goes, really. :shrug: (Though didn't Nikos s...

Re: Folder shortcuts on toolbar
Just create bookmarks (single or dual) of each folder you wish to add, using Bookmarks -> Add Current . Once done, right-click the toolbar you wish to add them to and select " Customize... ", then find the bookmarks you just made in the left column of the window that opened, and add them t...

Re: simple scripting, part 1
I have read the fine, fine, manual, and I've been a-pushin' and a-poppin' registers since you were hiding under the reeds of your mud-hut frightened of Ο Γάτος Με Το Καπέλο! And since I never liked the back-asswards (or ass-backwards) ways that registers work, my brain naturally rebels and defaults ...

Re: simple scripting, part 1
As the loop is $2 dependant, what's the $1 used for? Its value is the stored window and popped... some kind of SetFocus-equivalent or something, so the loop doesn't go errantly walkabout singing its merry song to all and sundry? Isn't that what parentwnd is for?

Re: Windows Defender and xplorer2
That's probably just your man's way at getting back for the Win10'S'-Fork distro-snub . The WIn PE header for DLL's is really pretty simple, so I'm not surprised someone started playing around with it... though whether the odd errant NTFS function would find EXT4 sexually attractive or not is always...

Re: Files disappear after revert
did I say that there is a delay of 0.5 second (default) where the "smart" system waits till it acts on the change? Ah hah! So I wasn't just saying incantations to resurrect Aristotle for nothing! No, you neglected to mention that subsection of the fine-print. I'm thinking that your origin...

Re: Files disappear after revert
Ah, an answer that only a mother could love. :D That I obviously do notice (and can measure) the difference, and that the results seem antithetical to your premise is only more sugar on my corn-flakes. Since I've been using this setting... well, forever... and my first foray into not using it result...

Re: Files disappear after revert
