Robust delete - way to go!!! Count me as beta tester. :)

Any chances to update breadcrumbs in Vista/7 to native ones?

Cool...

For me, only interesting is "toolbar facelift for modern full color icons with alpha transparency" and maybe a little "Rearrange tabs with drag-drop". Other things are not that important for me (or I have no idea what are those options :D )

Yay! for a new X2 version.

I wish X2 could support multi-width columns in list view just like Win7.

2 features I would really like are:
- user defined sub-menus of user commands
- better built in renaming tool

Please remember the folder "Merge" and "Overwrite" issue.

Many thanks.

@snakebite: that looks like a feature of the Windows 7 list view control - be very very difficult to replicate on any other OS!

Who says about replicating it? Let it be where the feature is available on the underlying OS.

Taken in the sense of Context Menus, I'd vote for that, too.

What I mean primarily by user defined submenus is toolbar buttons which provide submenus of user commands. I have suggested before that the toolbar button should have a primary left-click command and a right-click submenu.

I use snakebyte's Menu++ for this now but I find that many of the commands I need use user command tokens and the workaround to do this with Menu++ is limited to 20 or so commands.

Hi FrizzleFry, the limitation of 20 commands is not there anymore. X2 build 1.7.2.0 introduced a new registry option nCustMenuIcons which can be set using advance settings editor (between 5 and 100)

I have around 40+ user commands and I've grouped them using menu++

amongst many other things...

i would like some minor improvements in the User Command's Organize dialog box, like *add new*.  Sometimes I'm there and I find I wish to add a new command.

Improvements in the Command Scripting (more than one, and ability to save them).  Maybe working a little like the User Command dialogs.

My 2pence.

Hmm... looks like you are right

I had already adjusted that setting but the last time I looked at this it still seemed that the User Commands menu was only showing 20 or so commands... you had to use the more option to see the rest... now I see all 30+ commands I have defined.

Cool...

I would like an options to automatically resize columns and to use the column headers as minimum size when resizing columns so that the headers do not get truncated.
