@Thracx, sorry about the rename, blame the browser spellchecker. No worries - I forgive you :-) I'd want the "go to Target" and "go to Target Parent" 'commands to be in the context (right click) menu, keyboard shortcuts would be nice, guess it would have to go in a menu, I've no...

there are many links in my documents that don't work unless this workaround is in place... These are standard links from what I recall, I wonder why they don't work?  Let me know what API calls you are using and mayhaps I can look into it.  Also, it might have something to do with file system objec...

...however you can regard this as a useful feature as you can turn on/off the system attribute at will It's a painful 'feature' for me in that case, as this thread's purpose is to request an option to disable this bug/feature. :cry: Might I ask what was broken in Vista which made you code such a wo...

...I have thousands of folder symlinks and a hundred or so junctions. More power to you.  And here I was, thinking I was the only person on Earth using SymLinks :shock:  yet I'm delighted to learn hat you quite handily beat me in the volume of their usage :lol: Ctrl/L has always worked for me on ju...

ctrl+L and <enter> shouldn't do the same but better try it with the latest version from the website, not with an antique :) heh yeah, hence my today-testing-disclaimer ;-) Do note that my original post was from the latest and greatest build (v2.1.0.1 I think).  It is good to hear that this is not s...

What do you me by "move into" the link? In a browsing pane, DoubleClick or press Enter when the link/folder is selected. if you browse the link as a real folder pressing enter key, then you won't see a change of path, but if you resolve it with <ctrl+L> then you will see the real path (th...

Feature Request - Symbolic Link Redirect, Disable Option

When you navigate through a NTFS junction or symbolic link, X² resolves the link and navigates to the actual target instead of the link folder.  This creates a difference between walking a path and typing in a path. For example, if C:\MyMovedFolder is a link to D:\MyRealData, then if you are in C: a...

I prefer keybd shortcuts, but to each his own.  This does remind me to setup shortcuts for my column sets / etc - that would help.  Thanks for the reminder :=]

what you describe is already available, see Actions > Folder settings > Save You are referring to per-pane/tab settings, not per-folder like I was talking about.  It also saves everything , not just the single view-state. For example, if I browse to C: and am viewing in Details view, then I change ...

so how do you envisage this implemented in a simple GUI? Nothing is ever as simple as we'd like, that much I know up-front ;-) Maybe the others can chime in on how they'd like it to work, either way I'm not particularly bothered by how it is now (92.4% of the time I like viewing folders in Detailed...

...I know it's Skype for sure... How so?  If Skype & X² don't interact in any way, I can't see how 1 could selectively make the other hang (i.e. Skype makes X² only hang). Maybe it has to do with faulty disks.  In your list of affected apps, you list file browsing apps.  I know Explorer, X², an...

Re: Skype can make x2 hang

Skype (at least v5.5.0.124, but may also apply to older and/or newer versions) makes Windows Explorer, xplorer2 and other applications hang... I often have Skype and X² running and can't recall problems.  Are you using the x64 version of X²?  Maybe it has to do with some x86-only Skype extension be...
