I stil like my idea of...

...a check box in "Show items according to rule" for a predefined filter that caused it to appear above the line of the list of filters in the drop down for Autofilter.

Maybe you could start with simple undos

I think I would be nice if xplorer² just undid some simple one step actions like moving a few files, or simple renames. I wouldn't mind seeing "Can't Undo" most of the time in the Edit menu. Actually undo is not that high on wish list. I've mentioned this before but first on my list is: In...

you paid for the program, you can do what you want with its icons :) I meant that I would take any new icons that other people post or their toolbar creations if I liked them. I don't know if people would consider this bad manners. BTW I already have created a Dual Pane button with the panes side b...

Just to let you know, if I see an icon I like I'm going to "borrow" it for my own personal use. Are there any established rules for a situation like this?

I would love to see a table comparing shortcuts, hardlinks

I would love to see a table comparing the features, advantages and disadvantages of shortcuts vs hardlinks vs symbolic links vs junction points. Frankly, hardlinks and junction points scare me. I can't seem to wrap my mind around them and feel comfortable with them. They sound useful, but I would wa...

What do you name the B&W custom toolbar?

you have to call it x2skin.bmp and put it in the installation folder What do you name the black and white toolbar? Maybe x2skinBW? I haven't changed any B&W icons yet so I want to know for the future. This should be in skinsReadMe. BTW: I've used MenuHack to access these commands for which I cr...

I used MenuHack

I think I went through a similar problem when I wanted to create a button to toggle the Address Bar. I finally installed MenuHack and used it to create a Custom Command I could point to with a button but you could create a keyboard shortcut instead. The number of the Address Bar command is 39950. Me...

I don't particularly like the look of the new << chevr

I hope I'm not being too picky, but I don't particularly like the look of the new << chevron in the breadcrumbs trail. I thought maybe a "Other Drives" menu item in the root drive's right-click or a little drive icon with a green goto arrow in it. I have also seen little up arrows used to ...

Be aware the Dynamic Drive FavIcon Generator 150 kb limit

The the Dynamic Drive FavIcon Generator has a 150 kb limit on file size, so the image can't be too large. I use Paint.NET http://www.getpaint.net/index.html with the Evans Icon/Cursor Paint.NET Plug-in http://www.evanolds.com/pdnicocur.html to create icons. There are probable better choices but thes...

Thank you for your help

try the same command as you have it in the registry from xplorer2 addressbar using > prompt, replacing %1 for $n (that's the name of the file to open) and see if it works Thank you for your help, but unfortunately that didn't work. I did stumble upon the magic combination that worked. It looks like...

It would be much nicer with a Spell Checker

It sort of resembles a word processor, though I don't think that is what its for. Since I can't spell worth a darn, anything I use to work with words needs a spell checker.

When I started it for the first time I didn’t find any directions for changing toobar icons so I looked for it on my own, I then: Right-clicked on the toolbar and loo...

MenuHack customize toolbar buttons of standard commands

I haven't tried it yet but I'm guessing you can use MenuHack to change individual buttons in the newest version (1.7.0.9 and above) of xplorer² for the standard functions that currently can't be changed.  Just create a new custom command that activates it and then change the hammer icon. It won't wo...
