Bookmark multiple tabs + lassoing multiple files

[bawldiggle]

Is it possible to bookmark multiple tabs -- eg, 4 tabs ?
- presently xplorer2 only bookmarks MAXIMUM "dual" -- ie, 2 panels
- OR maybe I am missing something

Thank you

Thread got "off topic" (my fault) -- I know I should have started another thread
- I could not get "lassoing files" to work
- with help of FrizzleFry & Kilmatead ... lassoing was also resolved at my post

[FrizzleFry]

you can use folder groups to "bookmark" several tabs in a pane... Customize/Folder Groups...

Thanks FrizzleFry

Easy when you know how

MenuBar > Customize > Folder Groups > Add Current
- saved my 4 tabs ...

Group Name can be edited
MenuBar > Customize > Folder Groups > Organize ... >
Organize (dialog)
- select the target group
Properties icon on the dialog

[Kilmatead]

Group Name can be edited...

These group names may also be used on the command-line if you always want an x2 instance to open with particular tabsets in particular panes (instead of just single folders)

> xplorer2.exe "Consumers & Testimonials" "Accidents & Emergencies"

So what is difference between "Folder Groups" and "Custom Groups"
- what does one do ... the other does not ?

[Kilmatead]

Folder Groups are just sets of tabs. Custom Groups are an entirely different animal, relating to how objects are organised/displayed in the pane itself (View -> Arrange by -> Show in Groups/Custom Groups).

See page 71 of the PDF Manual for more information.

For personal interest sake
Where did you find the http://zabkat.com/x2docs.zip ... page URL ?
- I have searched zabkat without any luck

from the main download page click on download mirrors... PDF manual mirror 2...

of course that manual is over two years old...

Thanks FrizzleFry

After downloading I discovered the identical PDF file is already in the X2 folder
- now I have a spare

Also found what might be an error in "Mouse Related Terms > throw a lasso ... on page 23 of the PDF file
- it does not work in Xplorer2 ... but it does in Win-Explorer
Also an old MS trick on the Desktop

[FrizzleFry]

lasso works fine for me in both list and detail modes...

I think you have to disable some Vista effects to get lasso to work... it's in the x2SE (Tools/Advanced options) in the global tab...

I tried this ...
MenuBar > Tools > Advanced Options >
Settings Editor (dlg)
General > Miscellaneous (panel)
[x] Disable some Vista effects, e.g. hilight of item under cursor
- was disabled by default

Rebooted PC
Lasso still does not work in Xplorer2
- it does in Windows Explorer

Maybe my Xplorer2 version is the problem v2.5.0.2 (7 March 2014)
ie, today last year
- am I entitled to an updated or am I one day too late ?

Disable Tools -> Options -> Window (tab) -> Full Row Selection and start dragging in any column other than Name.

[bawldiggle]

Nope ... that doesn't help either !

Nothing like the old fashioned hold down shift and drag to select adjoining files/folders
-or-
Ctrl+ Select to select non-adjoining files-folders

[Kilmatead]

Clicking the Middle-Mouse-Button will also select/de-select non-contiguous items (without needing <Ctrl>). I have no idea why drag-selection is not working for you - I can't seem to find any combination of settings which would actually block it.

Disable Tools -> Options -> Window (tab) -> Full Row Selection and start dragging in any column other than Name.

I thought it might be full row selection but I have it enabled and lasso works fine for me.

You have click in empty space next to the first file/folder you want to lasso and then drag it to select files/folders.. you cannot select one file and then drag the selection to other files...
