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.

I like the little men on the progress window - reminds me of Space Invaders!

Re: xplorer2 build 5301 released

Nothing to do with pressing Esc by accident, to me Esc closes a dialogue box, not the program.

Re: new version under way

I will grudgingly admit I asked for this years ago and, gasp , Nikos implemented it. Check the Customize >> Folder groups >> Startup command to see if that does what you wish. NO!. It only works the first time, if you notice that one of the tabs displays Desktop. If you close x² with the tab displa...

Re: new version under way

I like the XTree (now ZTreeWin) concept of navigating in a tree then REPLACING the tree with the file list. I think the tree is useful for navigation but a waste of space when you are looking at a list of files. Switching it on/off is just unnecessary user effort, so why can't it be done automatical...

Re: Specifying Searches

I seem to remember discussing this before, and I didn't agree with your logic of adding wildcards before and after. I want to find "battery.htm" so I enter "battery" and it finds a load of files with "battery" in their name. To find just "battery.htm" I have t...

Re: Second instance of DeClone bug.

Can you change the "feature" so both instances behave the same?

Second instance of DeClone bug.

Start DeClone from a directory using the context menu key. The scan for duplicates window opens with the selected directory. Fine. Do the scan and some duplicates are found. Still fine. Now focus on another directory and start DeClone using the context menu key. DeClone starts a second instance but ...

Re: Any chance for silent install options

Yea!, I like that. I don't see the point in silent install anyway, so I could disable it.
