Create a xplorer² Feature Request forum?

When I look at the scope of what this forum covers, I sometimes wonder if it would be easier for you to create new xplorer² forum dedicated to just collecting New Feature Requests. This forum then could become more centered on problem solving.

I also think a xplorer² Tips forum might be nice to gather any handy tricks users have come up with (Nikos you certainly are welcome too). My trick is setting the names of files created in the last 24hrs to bold letter formatting. I will never have to hunt for recent downloads with their weird names again.

Before I discovered xplorer² last February, I hated my PC and often thought wistfully about getting a Mac. Now the two of us are getting along just fine.

I liked your idea and I'll be using this rule often.

i guess this is equivalent to always sorting by modified date, which is my default browsing option. For better clarity you can group by this column too (View| Arrange by| show in groups)

I think I goofed slightly writing up my tip. My trick is using Custom Color coding to make the names of files created in the last 24hrs to bold letter formatting. I think people think I use a filter, I use Customize| Color coding... to set the formatting automatically and don't have to do anything. This useful whenever you need to find any newly created file (downloads, word processing...) amongst a sea of earlier creations.

If there was a contest of the tips, yours would be the #1 in my list! Thanks for sharing that!
