File highlighting in sync wizard

Can xplorer2 do the following, and if not, does anyone know another program that can? I want something like xplorer2's Sync Wizard, but it would highlight the unique files (or identical or whatever) with a color while not actually selecting them in the usual sense of the term. It would just be a col...

Re: blog: what is this ultimate edition anyway?

I, personally, read faster than I watch those videos. Is there anyone who prefers to watch a video "if in a hurry"? Everyone over the age of 7 reads faster than watching videos. Videos have zero benefit for the users in situations like these and are vastly less informative and efficient, ...

Re: blog: photo collection cleanup

I would be happy with merely some way to find multiple copies of a photo (or any other kind of file) where one copy has been renamed while the others haven't. I can't believe it's 2018 and there still isn't a way to do this. The problem is that renaming files changes the date and size (which is a st...

Force saved scrap pane to retain missing files when reopened?

Is there a way to make it so that when you open a saved scrap pane it will show files that it used to have but have been moved or renamed? That is, so they show up like normal files instead of in the pop-up window "Some files could not be located, do you want to see a list?" I don't care i...

Re: omfg make it stop defaulting to thumbnail view! Driving me NUTS!

Is it OK to delete the desktop.ini files in the pictures? There are 164 of them in folders that I never have or will need to view, except that I wouldn't want to mess up the Desktop or Start Menu which account for around a dozen of them.

omfg make it stop defaulting to thumbnail view! Driving me NUTS!

My brand new installation of xplorer2 on a brand new Win 7 installation keeps defaulting to thumbnail view no matter what I do. I deleted EVERY desktop.ini file on the whole computer. I don't see how even one person would ever want to use this program when it keeps doing that. I have had this proble...

Re: "Automatically re-sort contents" gets disabled after every restart

The problem only started after I got a new hard drive and installed Win 7 a week or so ago (didn't restore from a backup or anything). Never had the problem before. do you save settings on exit? Yes, Save On Exit has been checked the whole time. are you using custom folder settings a lot? No because...

"Automatically re-sort contents" gets disabled after every restart

When I check "Tools > Options > Window > Automatically re-sort contents after moving/copying" the box becomes unchecked after closing and restarting Xplorer2.

Can't move to next file by typing first letter

I did some testing and can describe the bug where the ability to jump to the next file beginning with a given letter freezes and you can only move to the next file of that same letter (and loop around after the last one) and no other letter works. I mentioned this tangentially in another thread yest...

Search field ("filter"?) is stealing focus

Just now the search box in the upper right which says "Filter" in grey letters started stealing focus. In many years of use I've never seen this happen. This is on a fresh install on a brand new hard drive. BEFORE: To move the highlight to the next item in a folder that begins with any giv...

Folder size: stop disappearing; options confusion

Two questions on folder size: 1) Is there a way to make the folder sizes in the details pane display permanently instead of what they do now, which is disappear every time you go away from the folder in question and then come back? I understand there are warnings all over the place about how they sl...

Folder size wrong on optical discs

For optical discs (4.7 Gb cdrs I have burned photos and documents onto), the folder sizes displayed for top-level folders are completely wrong i.e. 1 or 2 orders of magnitude too small. Folder sizes for folders lower than the top level are correct.
