Sure. I noticed it when I downloaded some zips with subtitles and compared them to old ones. But try this to reproduce: Create a newfile in left pane with f7. Write content asdf with editor2 in it. Create another newfile in right pane with f7. Write content asdfe with editor2 in it. Left one of cour...

Small Bug in Compare Feature

I'm using very often the compare feature with Ctrl-F9 and the options identical / "comparison based on size". I noticed it is showing small files as identical if there's only a difference of a few bytes. Can easily be recreated by creating two identical named textfiles with a few character...

Just make yourself a button for sticky selection and activate it with the stylus before selecting files.

That's what I do on my tablet for more complex selections.

it isn't really escapable since it uses the background thread. A lot of work would be required to change this behaviour. I recommend using folder statistics instead <alt+D> which is escapable Well, that's what I feared. I know alt+D of course, after all it's been there before Ctrl-D already in 2x. ...

I wanted to ask for some time now: Is the folder calculation escapable or can be made so? Often I only need the size of one or a few folders, but if started in a big root it always completes the root (same for big folders of course), even if I change folders. And it isn't possible to start another f...

Re: I'm just trying to save a step

If I Select All and then flatten, it does not include the documents in the folder I'm currently viewing, it only flattens the folders selected. You can send the remaining (selected) files to the flattened (scrap)pane with Ctrl-S by the way, just so you know. But it's still a crutch and IMHO easier ...

In the search results window I have two panes, the one on the left has all the info about the files found and the one on the right is totally blank. What is the window on the right for? Can I eliminate it? I cannot find anything in the user manual that explains the results window. Maybe you don't w...

FYI, I use another approach for organizing videos or other media. You must have all the media in question on one partition (though with today's size of harddisks no particular problem). Usually I have 3 folders, one with all the media, one "to_watch" and one "to_burn". I simply h...

Actually there are so many freeware renamers that are at least as good as commercial versions that I'm wondering how commercial renamers make a profit. :-) I'm usually using a combo of renamers consisting of x2 mass rename, awx rename shell utility and Flexible Renamer. The last one is my personal c...

Just for the record, EAC, Lame and MP3Tag here too for years already.

Interesting that so many of us agree in this and still EAC didn't turn up on Nikos' radar.

I'm not sure I follow you or you try to follow me. Why is an A in the attrib column different for your intended use than a star in another column. You just turn the A off with attrib -a "$F" with the batch assistent and you have your visual marker (=no A) for watched videos. But if you fin...

There are quite a few possibilities to do what you want. It's a matter of taste. I probably would use the batch-assistant with something like ren "$B-watched.$E" which stays as first suggestion if you don't use the assistant in the meantime so you just have to hit Ctrl-B and Enter to do th...

Well, I guess I have to stick to the clipboard trick then.

FYI, you can kind of "convert" textfiles to cida and back using the import from clipboard function and/or copying the paths from the scrap pane and pasting it in a text file.
