I think you answered your own question. At least for the time being.

Speaking if kilmatead, as you were. Isn't there some way to find out what happened to him? Is he even still alive? There must be forum members that can find some info if someone has his real name. I would not want him to fade away without some acknowledgement of him and his contributions here and o...

I decided to have a go at a function to create folders from random strings copied to the clipboard (e.g. book names, movies, URLs) and automatically do two things: 1. Change the invalid characters for a predetermined list of substitutes. 2. Change the case to Title Case, since most of the time I'm g...

Also, is it really that hard to GREP all the topics to change "forum.zabkat.com" to "forum.zabkat.com"?

I see that all private messages are gone.

Are you planning to recover those? I'd hate to loose some of the correspondence there with someone whom I may never have the opportunity to write to again.

awxRename has several "native" options (on the context menu) including upper, lower and sentence case. There's an advanced option to execute a Perl script against the names, too. I have it installed and also use F2 Mass Rename. Hasn't been updated since 2006 but still works fine for me. -...

So if you implemented the filter in F2 renaming, where's the logic to leave it out of F7/F8 naming/renaming? The invalid characters can't be in the final name, so toss them and show a note in the info bar that you did and move on. So anyway, whether this s a new request, bump of an old request, or j...

Well, here we are 4 plus years and two full revisions later and I still have to manually remove invalid characters when pasting a string in to replace "New folder" when I press F8 to create a folder. <sigh> ------------------------------ pj in (missing K :( ) FL editted 2018-12-18 1721Z to...

I'd like to suggest: Separate threads or whatever it takes so when one tab/pane is busy, waiting for a drive to respond, busy with a copy operation, etc., that the other tabs/panes are not locked up as well. Many times I get the "Not responding" message from Windows when I've clicked on a ...

We've passed the one year mark since Kilmatead's last post. I'm still rooting for the theory he ticked off the Old Bailey who told him he needed a time out, of about a year or so. Maybe he'll be out in time for Christmas.

Anyway, K, if you read this, you're missed.

and amongts other minor (?) changes : 1 - color coding .. apply to the folder icon (yellow by default) and to the complete line (in detailed view) so a solid color in background ---- Did you look at the add-on our long-lost Kilmatead created to easily change folder colors? It's in the Especially Us...

...in the meantime you can use $L and make sure your scripts run from the left pane only Please don't assume this will work in all cases. My usual workflow is LEFT/TOP is old, RIGHT/BOTTOM is new so I've been running scripts like this almost exclusively in the bottom pane. Thanks for taking a look ...

When setting up a new project folder, I can't get the folder's name for further processing. I have to actually search all items in the hard-coded parent folder (sFolder) to find the newest item, then use that result to continue building the new project folder structure. I can't just use the $P varia...

I've had to work around this little glitch, but thought I'd bring it up to at least discuss the reasoning or if it can be added to the long list of minor fixes: Essentially, parameters $P, $C and $U are null if the folder in focus has no files, but $L and $R are set. Easily tested with this simple V...

Can you please explain the function of this added feature in the beta? * CUSTOMIZE > FOLDER GROUPS > STARTUP menu command restores the folder tabs available when you last started xplorer². This command helps people that use network drives, who occasionally forget to connect some of them before xplor...
