I'm fine with the style and the way the icons look now

Just so you know I'm fine with the style and the way the icons look now in xplorer². I hope any new icons fit in with the old ones, they are very clear and unobtrusive. I just want more of them to match practically any command that MenuHack can access. I don't want to look at seven hammers in my too...

If I were saving the newest installer for xplorer2 for example, I like to keep the the version that came before it, but delete the version that came 2 before. I keep the current and last versions of files. Its not a big deal, I'm just surprise there isn't a keyboard trick that keeps the name from ch...

Why don't email programs store emails in My Documents

Why do email programs like Outlook and Thunderbird store emails the way they do in strange unfriendly formats. What I mean is why doesn't each program act more like word processors and create a Outlook/Thunderbird Emails folder in My Documents, with each email an individual clickable file that opens...

Could you possibly add "Elapsed time" to the Robust transfer dialog box? When I copy a large number of files I would like to know the amount of that has passed. Knowing how long it took helps me to guess how long it will take take the next time. I know there is an estimate, but sometimes i...

It took me a while to post here because what I really like is how x2 rids me of so many of the simple little Windows Explorer annoyances that I have tried to correct in the past with utilities that where quirky and didn't seem to work consistently. Specifically: I can create a new folder with either...

Suggestions to improve the Change type command

I got thinking how I would improve the "Change type" command in x2. As the command currently works, it does not offer much improvement over the regular Rename function, other than it shows the extension if it hidden. Here are my suggestions, in order of complexity. 1) Change type would lea...

Code for the show Address Bar command please

Thank you for the simplified instructions.

Is there a code for the Address Bar command which is found in View > Toolbars menu? Numbers for all the commands that show specific toolbars seem to be missing.

How do I create a button that toggles the Address Bar?

I know I can toggle the Address bar by right-clicking and through the View>Toolbar menu. I was wondering if there is a way to tie the View Address Bar command to a button, maybe through User Commands? Once I learn how to do this I would like to tie other commands such as all the Pane Style (Thumbnai...

Thank you so much for the new breadcrumbs feature. I didn't even know you were going to include this feature until a week or two ago, it was very pleasant surprise.
