of course i could add one, but would it be really useful? Moreover there would need to be many of them to mirror all the available names in the active pane like N/B/E/F etc. Would all this clutter be justified?

this is interesting! although there's no "batch" execution for windows programs, x2 could itself act as the "interpreter", which basically means that it would execute commands from the "script" one at a time like as if they were keyed in from the addressbar using the &q...

well not exactly simple but you may have just discovered the equivalent of cold fusion in the HTML department :) I'll have to give it a try! very soon I will be doing an update for editor2 to make it interact more closely with the new xplorer2 (e.g. sharing FindText strings and options). It will als...

Zimluura x2 is following the function over form principle, which may be rather offensive for you litestep skin folk :) Something like UK-spec hi-fi equipment that look like bricks but sound like a dream Perhaps a few of you cosmetic experts could one day volunteer to create an artistic and handsome ...

@zippit: 2xExplorer Z1 package has this file called 2xExplorer.manifest . It only affects users with windows XP, giving the "new" UI look and feel. It is not essential for any other users or even XP users @JRz: I'm a bit pressed for time to write documentation nowadays, but I will summariz...

that's a good idea but small command variants like that contribute towards menu & keyboard clutter, making the program more complex and driving away users. Look at what m$ is doing with hiding menu items in office applications and you'll see what i mean. Less is more sometimes

the drivebar will be added eventually

in the meantime xplorer2's tree without FTCOPT_AUTOSYNCVIEW (the default) can be used as "drivebar" since it never gets expanded below "My Computer"

I also found the selection a bit awkward but i wanted to give users some clue that by pressing F1 again they would get the next match replacing the selected text. I'll have another think. Nice idea about adding the backslash though, if the completed name is a folder Tab in the addressbar takes you b...

naturally, more bookmarks will be available x2 started remembering more of the previously "visited" items in folders because the forces that influence this forum thought it would be a good idea (hi guys! :)) however the new build x.31 does path autocompletion in the addressbar with [F1] wh...

you can make the best of the single bookmark in x2 using the indirect bookmarking technique described in FAQ#20 2x has a glitch with fast keyboard navigation which is the result of single-click activation processing. I believe I have fixed the problem in xplorer2 though so if you are certain you hav...

the viewer isn't hang, it's working hard to load the file, hence the high CPU usage. I suppose if you waited long enough, it would either show up or drain your system's resources and crash (or both :)) This cannot be helped for the new xplorer2 i plan to have a different type of viewer which doesn't...

for 2x type is identical to extension
those folders that were "misplaced" had dots in their names so 2x took that for extension

the new x2 has a type column which does exactly what you want
