Pardon the newbie question, but should this version just be installed on top of 1.8.0.11? Will all of the settings transfer over? I spent a lot of time yesterday getting everything exactly as I like it; I'd hate to have to do all of that again.

Thanks,
Jono

Question: Is there a way to unassign keyboard shortcuts from custom commands without having to delete the custom command and remake it? something like a "clear/remove shortut" function

I have never had any problems installing a new version on top of the previous but to be on the safe side you could just do Actions/Export settings before you install the new one.

You should be able to just uncheck the Ctrl, Shift, Alt checkboxes... it looks like you can also pick the blank space below the 9 in the drop down.

Nikos, the copy on download page is misleading:
"All 32/64 bit (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista/W7)", but down below you have a separate link to 64-bit version download.

And while you're at it, maybe it makes sense to put links to both versions on the same page? Why different pages?

Thanks!

Nothing wrong with that. 32 bit x² works fine on 64 bit systems.

Really? When did you check your shell extensions last time?

Shell extensions are not a part of x².

Perfect integration with Windows shell is what makes X2 X2. Who needs another stupid Total Commander clone?

Shell extensions are not a "feature" on x² anyway, so if it's just for x², 32 bit works on 64 bit systems.

Shell extensions are part of user experience, which breaks down if you're using 32-bit x2 on 64-bit Windows. Do I really need to explain obvious things?

After all, this does not invalidate the description on the website. "Obvious things" like 32-bit shell extensions not working on 64-bit systems are not something to discuss, right?

wasker · Post by **wasker** » 2010 May 18, 16:17

If the version installed breaks the expected user experience, this does invalidate the claim on the site.
