In a recent thread I've asked you to consider parts of xplorer2 that could be turned into stand-alone more focused applications
Now I'm asking: what sort of software (even unrelated to file management) do you wish existed but you can't find? Do you have any tasks you do manually and wish for some software helping hand?
Then we'll see if we can match your needs with some sort of future product description. Usually that's the best way to go forward planning for a new product!
It doesn't matter if you feel that your idea may sound wacky, indeed the stranger the better Let's think outside the box!
what would you wish for?

I used to use an extension that worked in 32bit Windows (all, even Vista) called PropertiesPlus - it had the ability to change any of the attributes of a file - *and* any of the dates, including created, modified and accessed, and had a way of selecting the current date *and* time or any random / arbitrary date time.
I'd like to see this in X2.
I am sure I'll think of more in a bit.

for really big copy jobs I use "Supercopy", it has several more copy features than robust transfer has.

I've got several x2 improvements:
- minimize/restore using global hotkey (like in Winamp),
- minimize on close (rather than exit),
- close/restart/sleep after specified time/events (embedded VistaShutdown-Timer),
- set default previewers (e.g. for video files),
- manage archives (RAR/7z) natively (compression, decompression, default profiles, etc.)
btw. I've noticed that if I have a network drive mapped which is not accessible (e.g. I'm not connected to the network), x2 freezes and tries to connect to it which takes n-ty seconds (20-30) - in the meantime I cannot use the app.
