No issues seen on XP 32 Bit.

But there is the problem, that the new command for user commands (add current) does only show in English language).

Solution for German:
For the menu:
Gewähltes hinzufügen

For the status bar message:
Aktuell gewählte ausführbare Datei als benutzerdefinierten Befehl anlegen

Hope, that this will make it into the final, so that non-English (German) users
don't miss it.

BTW: The new workaround with the message box when switching the language works good, if bSingleWindow is set to 2. No more tab reduplication. :p

64-bit okay so far

Post by RickyF »

Installed it on Window 7 64-bit without incident. Seems to working fine, at first glance. Let you know if anything pops up.

A list of changes since 1.7.2.20 would help. However, testing now.  :)

display update "bug"

Post by rsleegers »

I often copy a file name, delete the file and create a zero-byte file with the same name so I track podcasts, tv shows, etc I have already seen. I will sometimes end up with what appears to be duplicate files of the same name.

Steps to reproduce:
select a file
press F2 to rename
shift-end to select whole file if only the name is selected
ESC
shift-del
Enter to dialog
F7 to create a new file (key here is less than 1-2 seconds)
Ctrl-V to paste same name
two files of the same name will display in the folder
press Ctrl-R (refresh) and one file will disappear

More of a display issue than a "bug" but this behaviour has been around a few versions, I think.

Small problem with Split / Merge function

Post by paNET »

If you split a file in, let's say 5 pieces, then you are allowed to merge fewer pieces without any warning or error. Even if this is not a bug, maybe it deserve a solution.

New beta works ok for me on W7 Pro x64. I even tried to return attributes rule to the color coding and it seems not slowing down the FTP operation anymore.

Two things so far:
1) I hate current robust delete progress window. Why must it be so different from robust copy/move? Why should it use font that differs from x2's default? Also, my robust delete options dialog suggestions are still applicable.

2) If I add new color coding rule and do not change color from "Automatic", I'm being presented with an error message that says "You must specify some unique text attributes". This is totally confusing, because it disappears only after I change the COLOR, not any of the text properties.
I'm using Xplorer2 - the only file manager that does not suck. Actually, it rocks!

Could it be possible to display two Quick viewer panels at once?
I would like to achieve this because I could lock one of them and use the other one for previewing more files.

Nikos, I was testing this beta more thoughtfully and it is great.
I like really much the new features. (The “From clipboard to file.” impressed me. It is one big feature that I would never thought it could be implemented in x2.  :D )

I had some issues when I was testing color coding:
-I was trying to set a color coding filter for all the files (Named = *) and x2 did not let me to do it.
-It is impossible to add a color coding filter without changing the default colors. (It could be useful when you want to exclude some files/folders from the color coding filters that are down this one.)
-Big bug: The lost of all the color coding filters down the edited one:
 1. I edit a color filter deleting all the rules.
 2. When accepting the changes I get the following message: “The search filter must not be completely unconstrained.”
 3. I accept the changes to close the “Custom color coding” window.
 4. When I re-open the color coding option…:shock:

By the way. Will the old file settings still work properly with the new version?
I am waiting anxiously to the next release.

perhaps i had a busy day but i can't understand any of your issues!

there's no point having a color for all files through color coding that you can do by changing the color settings from your control panel

likewise there's no point having a color rule without any color or font information. If you need to exclude things use the boolean logic in the hyperfilter definition (the quickstart guide has information on this)

Can I ask again for middle-click on folder (in folder view) and in folder name in crumbs bar to open tab with said directory?

Pretty please, with sugar on top?  :D
