I wasn't fully updated (I had 1.8.0.7), but also on 1.8.0.9 the same thing happens. These are the columns: almost all [x] columns, except, oddly, the 'open status'. My guess is that they are pdf-related (not sure). http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/381/xcolumns.jpg Not always will X2 crash, it depe...

Crash when selecting a [x] column

Don't know if this has already been dealt with (quite some crash reports, lately, but I never suffered from it until now). I'm on Vista Professional X64, X2 is not in any way the default replacement for WE. I was playing with the columns in details view, and noticed that turning on one of the column...

Does your tree pane keep focus after selecting the folder? It should, otherwise pressing the delete button won't apply to the folder you'd want to delete. To maintain focus on the selected folder, Tools - Options... - Window - 'Automatically shift focus to view after activation' should be unchecked....

I used a portable lite version before Nikos made the pro version portable. It was easily done with some sort of registry-import-export batch file. I think there is prepared version of this available nowadays.

Just put quotation marks around the paths, like this:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2\xplorer2_UC.exe" /M /F:0 "E:\My documents"
I think that should work.

You might consider to turn on 'Automatically shift focus to view after activation' in Tools - Options - Window (Tree section). This way your tree-pane is hardly activated anymore, minimizing the chance you delete folders from it by accident.

Great! I just noticed that you just solved an old problem, that just got more and more annoying. On my Vista's I always got a delay when a pane with the desktop folder was activated. I wanted to ask you about it, since it got longer, recently. But you already solved it  :D
Thanks!

If you use Autoit, you might use this little script to insert the length of the filename into the comments column (I changed a script I use, to accomodate this): Dim $file, $filetoken, $filestream, $filetime $file = $CmdLine[1] $filenamelength = StringLen($CmdLine[2]) $filetime = FileGetTime($file, ...

Funny you came up with LZW compression. Anyone in the graphic industry (or just familiar with Photoshop) knows that LZW can be used to compress the size of your TIFF files. It's been tied to this particular field that I wasn't even aware of its usefulness in other fields!

A $-token is not necessary, if you only want your application to start without further ado, but you should give a clue if where your command is directed to. You can use '$' to indicate that it is a dos command, or '>' if it is a run command. I would recommend to try to define the command as: > "...

For me that would be the possibility to use filter settings, or the thing that you can get a log of (non-) deleted files. To me, the advantage is not so big, as I use the recycler more often.

:oops: Alright, I'm ignorant (let me say it before anyone else does it). The non-confirmation mode of the recycler works for deletion as well. Sigh, there goes my argument. Well, I still like the idea of Robust Recycling (I just can't be bothered about the non-confirmation part, to be honest :wink: ).

Sorry for not getting the point here. As far as I know, there never was a way to delete files (note: I write 'delete', not 'recycle') without some extra dialog for confirmation. (Please reveal my ignorance if I'm wrong here.) It's just that now deletion has been extended with some extra fun stuf in ...
