zabkat support forum

Naturally xplorer² isn't doing string comparisons all the time, never mind half a million of them in a row, so here's another instance of striving for excellence, saving the last drop of CPU power, which turns out to be not really important, as we have seen time and again in this blog series... and...

It's OK. Just a fifty to a hundred or so places I test for ATL:BrowserListView, and most of those can easily have an "or SysList32" added to the code. For the remaining cases, a simple function can return to me a character variable containing the class name used for panes by executing inst...

The answer may be tucked away in the change log for Version 3.3.0.0 (13 Sep 16): "On touch-enabled laptops and the like, scrolling works with the finger (aka Pan gesture). Caution: if you have any AHK scripts that rely on the window class name being ATL:BrowserListView AND you have a touch PC, ...

When I run X2 on my desktop, the main folder panes are shown with windows class ATL:BrowserListView. When I run it on my laptop, the panes are shown as SysListView32. The X2 folders on the two systems compare byte-for-byte identically and are Version 5.3.0.0. Both systems are Win 10 Pro, Version 22H...

OK, this morning I tried again, after deleting the Zabkat registry entries and thereby simulating a fresh install. The search worked much better. Entrries appeared as you added letters, but they would not disappear -- if your entry became too specific, and you backspaced out, nothing changed. I know...

The find-as-you-type search is not working for me. When I type some letters, e.g. "map", and press the binocular icon, I get a popup list as expected. If I then add an "s" on the end of the string, yielding "maps", the popup does not update to show only files with "...

I found the entry in the registry: ZabaraKatranemia Plc\xplorer2_UCl\pidlLeftFolder is a long hex string and if this is deleted then the desktop, not G:\, is shown when an invalid drive is specified for opening.

On my computer, if I run "xplorer2_64.exe S:\", specifying drive S: which does not exist, X2 opens G:. No mater what unknown drive I try to open, X2 opens G:. Where is this G: set (I can't find it in the registry--I've tried changing all the naked G:\ items to no avail)? I'd rather have C:...

Hack job is complete (using AutoHotkey). First, I created an empty file, gave it by hand a comment "0000000000000000" (sixteen zeros), and saved this as a template. It has three streams at this point: the (zero-lenth) data stream and two streams created because the comment has been created...

Thanks.

Since I posted this, I have been working to do just that -- use the comment column. A lot of hiccups, though, but I think now I have all the elements needed to hack this. Sample hiccup: the stream for the comments property includes a hex 05 in the file name ("=SummaryInformation", where = ...

I am trying to read an alternate data stream in the Programmable column. For clarity I will use a file name "G:\TEST.TXT" with an alternate datastream "testdata". An editor can open "G:\TEST.TXT:testdata" and NirSoft's AlternateStreamVIew can see it. But for some reason...

Is there a way to right-justify the detail-view Programmable column? In one of my uses the column is filled with numbers. I'd like to be able to sort them as well as see them, and making all the numbers have an equal width using prefix blanks or zeros is ugly (the font in the column is not monospace...

From changes.txt: "If you hate xplorer² ultimate orange icon, design your favorite one, call it X2ICON.ICO and drop it in the installation folder, then yours will be used instead! For the desktop shortcut icon (if any), edit the properties (right click) and change the icon there too (copy X2ICO...

As I said, "edge case": I know the .see extension on my machine has the NeverShowExt key set, and I think, although I don't see it in the registry, .lnk and some other file types are automatically excluded from having extensions shown. I do have "File name extensions" checked in ...
