"Unauthorized file encryption"?

Nikos and All: I use x2 at work, have for years and years. This morning, as I was selecting multiple files on a network folder and dragging them to another network folder, x2 vanished--mid-drag--and a pop-up message from Trend Micro appeared saying the x2 exe file (latest version, Ultimate 64) has b...

1. As an editor I am deeply offended by your joke.
2. The best joke in your . . . offering is this:

Re: 7zNSE beta 1006

Risking a ban or a scolding. . . . In my youthful years on the playground my friends and I talked about a "rim job " as a thing you would tell only your enemies to go do to each other. And in my slightly older youthful years I worked on a construction site for a Hungarian man who, though h...

Re: 7zNSE beta 1006

I hadn't heard it called a "sting" before, but I like it. I always called it a "rim shot" (because it involves hitting the metal rim of the snare at the same time as the drum head).

I listen when I can--when the wife and kids aren't in the car. It's unfortunate, the members of DREAD were not successful. Disco--its present-da...

Re: FolderSize problem

So I've given up on "save settings on exit" and set a folder in each pane as the default. All seems to be fine. And if at the end of the day I want to keep my current configuration of folders in each pane, I'll just click "save settings now." Seems like the mature thing to do. An...

Re: FolderSize problem

Essentially yes, but bear in mind that one drawback of this paradigm is that since you use "Save Settings on Exit" if you change your columns in a way you expect to be "temporary", you can accidentally find those settings then applying to all folders (permanent until you change ...

Re: FolderSize problem

First of all, single-pane mode? Who could live like that?

Now then, yeah, I seem to be stuck defining each folder. Who can live like that? So what should I do? Clear each folder I've set, then go back to one, set it, and make it the default?

Re: FolderSize problem

Thanks. That works (mostly; see below). I blame the ribbon for obscuring Actions -> Folder Settings -> Save. I have a lot of network drives and folders and I've found that if a network folder has more restrictive rights (e.g., I don't have write rights there), x2 can't write to desktop.ini and the F...

FolderSize problem

Hi Folks: I just got a new laptop with 64-bit Windows 7. I'm reinstalling my stuff, setting it up the way I need it. 64-bit x2 ultimate works great, as expected, except for the FolderSize columns. I installed the 64-bit version of FS, the columns show up in the Available Columns dialogue, but if I s...

Re: Retaining a tab's folder history

This brings up something I hadn't thought of before, and it's what jayterry is getting at, I think. Since the folder history is maintained (in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia Plc\xplorer2_UC\MainFrame Settings\Folder History), would it be possible to make it available fro...

Re: ribbon head count

I voted Yes. I hide the ribbon but use it when I need what's in there (not often). It's a novelty in x2--I think that's why I have it available. Also, I paid for the the Ultimate upgrade this time--the first time I paid in a long time. Maybe I'm trying to get my money's worth. :D (Just joking. x2 is...
