Re: display Folders as files

I have not had success with X2 Macros (not being a coder either)

Can you suggest the macro?

regards
Mark

ps I had not been able to find a way to do what I wanted in settings, so I was expecting the answer to probably be NO.
So the possibility of a Macro solution is ENCOURAGING :-)

display Folders as files

I have ONE folder where it makes sense to ... Tools > Options > Window > Folders sorted == As Files everywhere else Tools > Options > Window > Folders sorted == Separately makes more sense. Is there a way that I can make X2 display this one folder the way I want if/when I browse to it? Thanks Mark

Re: Deleting duplicate files fails

Hi Nikos, yes it does work on a smaller selection ... so I conclude that the problem was indeed trying to stuff 17GB into the recycle bin..... I had previously read your blog posts about > Tools > check duplicates and had noted your comment of the importance of using Ctrl+Del in the scrap window to ...
