x2 UI strifes to be "economic" so there's no duplication of toolbars, status bars etc. That's simpler and takes less space. Having said that some buttons are already capable of affecting the inactive pane when the ALT key is pressed. For instance ALT with the button for "Up a level&qu...

playing devil's advocate, there are many things you can do in x2 with zipfolders that you can't using a native zip app like winrar

for instance you can compare zip contents with external files, see thumbnails, etc plus all the usual stuff like copying names, previewing text...

this can't be happening!
did you have this problem in the past or is it new with x.33?

when sorted by name or extension, folders are always first
try using the "other" Name column which is further down the column list to see what happens

this doesn't happen on my w2000 this could be an indication of leaking objects during drag-drop, which a few XP users have also observed, or it may just be x2 being too touchy the only way to be sure would be to open a scrap frame, put in 2 files (each from a different folder), select+right drag the...

zipfolders will be sorted with the folders but there will be a registry setting to treat them as files, so everybody should be happy

i'm not exactly sure what joba's other problem is, but separate tree for each pane is not in the plan

windows explorer is a cheat it probably has to wait the same time but it sneaks in while you're booting up then, when it "starts again" it's not really a new process but a new thread, so the info is already available for instant access i bet if you try the new xplorer2 and use the clone co...

ok this is easier but you somehow convinced me that opening the subfolders of the active branch at all times is something that makes sense.
still, since i have no need for either this or the old procedure, i will oblige :)

while loading 2x opens the tree with "my computer" branch expanded, and that requires reading the mapped drives. There's no way to avoid this delay other than hiding the tree before exiting. But you'll have to wait this long anyway each time you want to use the tree first time round

i don't really have a clue but you can use the task manager to see what program is behind this process "896" (this number will change each time)
