column selection will come of course i don't use detailed view so it's not a personal priority :) still the most important columns are well placed, especially if the panes are arranged top/bottom -- a small consolation there! for gridlines, just delete the lvsExtendedStyle registry values and you'll...

2x always says "launched in the background" this is to reassure you that although nothing seems to happen, the requested program has been started and will soon appear office programs like excel are weird the first time you start them from 2x they come to the front as expected but for every...

the keystroke is Ctrl+Shift+5
make sure you press everything at once and the 5 comes from the main keyboard
then you'll get a confirmation message on the status bar

what you observe is the default behaviour of windows list control, which interprets a "slow double click" (i.e. clicking twice) to initiate a rename. To avoid this you can click on the icon bit (or some other item), and the rename will not occur.

nice try anyway! :)

its "safe" but I can't guarantee it! i use it all the time myself, and other than a few crashes now and then i haven't lost any files -- yet :) compared to 2x it already has more features but at the same time lacks a large chunk of the functionality and conveniences. It won't be ready for ...

i haven't heard this one before
have you tried xplorer2?
off my head, since the fault happens with right-click too, this looks like a problem with the real player. I expect that other filemanagers (except explorer) will also stumble...

i have just reproduced this
unfortunately this isn't easy to fix
all the automatic change sensing & refresh system will have to be replaced making it just like xplorer2's -- too much work!

you'll have to find a "simpler" bug than that :)

trust me, the time it'll take you to understand 2x internals with enough confidence to start changing things, you might as well wait for xplorer2. It alredy offers many of the features you are after

neato! never heard a program that can extract text out of menus
on the other hand you were Inadvertently involved in a bit of wheel reinvention there :) since a keyboard list is included in the "official" help file distributed 2xExplorer.chm

tabs are just a way of organizing multiple windows in a single container window. I have to say that I was never particularly fond of them. The new xplorer2 allows for multiple folders to be open but each in its separate window. I guess the windows desktop taskbar could be used to simulate the "...

i would be embarassed if people saw the state of the code that runs 2x; i'd lose all respect instantaneously :)

but opening it up (probably under a different name) could be an option, once x2 is up and running

so what missing features were you thinking about?
