large icon views and grouping are only viable for folders with a few files. For any folder with realistic size, 2x's views and sorting options are the most efficient file management approach. But then again it takes all sorts to make a world :)

the only folder that i use in this fashion is the desktop, where icons are arranged in logical (or not so logical :) ) groups. So there's explorer for the desktop (actually the desktop is explorer) and 2x for everything else Xavier, unfortunately this feature is not trivial to implement, so i wouldn...

to be frank, i haven't considered this at all, mostly because it's such hard work. The saving grace is that for the most dangerous operation (delete) there's the recycle bin to bail one out

directory size info in 2x is available on demand using the folder data [Ctrl+D] command second drivebar? well the design "philosophy" over here is to have just one set for all these things like address bar, status bar etc. The most efficient way to visit a drive from any pane is to press [...

not all $ tokens work from the address bar. $B, $E and counters are just for batch files. But I suppose $B/$E make sense from the addressbar too

paste uses the same setting for overwrite confirmation as the Copy To (F5) command. If you have cleared the confirmation check box in the dialog box that appears with F5, then paste won't ask for confirmation either

you'd expect this to happen in 2x since it's cr@p with autorefresh. The sad part is that recycle bin needs to be manually refreshed even in the new xplorer2... i had to admit defeat on this one!

that's column revolution for you, you wait years for an extra column and then 19 come at the same time :) ok, here's the story: columns 2-15 (Medium-Name) are x2's native stock columns. The 4 last are given gratis Windows (win95 users won't see these), which are repetitions but less efficient at tha...

i also like rar better but unless rar developers create a namespace extension for their format, like m$ did for zips and cabs, we'll all have to stick with winrar

anyway, the way hard disc sizes have exploded and with CDROM storage, there's little point in compressing files anymore!

[Ctrl+R] doesn't work in the tree (it does for the new xplorer2). Instead you must forcibly collapse and re-expand the tree branch you want refreshed -- or the whole tree if you collapse the root (desktop) node

as i mention in the website, xplorer2 is not a viable alternative to 2xExplorer yet. But it is under development, so watch this space, for column selection and beyond!
