Can the status bar be customized?

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to get rid of the modified date information in the status bar. I always use detail view so I don't have to see this in the status bar. It is only confusing and harder to look for the info I do need.
When I select multiple files the date/time info is even less needed, because it is info from 1 file while I selected many.

And maybe it is useful to always show the amount of discspace from all the files in a folder in the active pane. So i.e. not only "12 items" but "12 items, 124MB". When I select files I see the info, but I like to see also the total size of the files, without selecting all files first.

Thanks

customizing the statusbar panes will come with some future upgrade
for the moment i'm afraid there's no changes possible

Ok, thanks.

I am very happy with xplorer2, the best filemanager there is (and i've tried many).

But there are always little things that coud be better I guess.

I.e. why do I have to press 3 buttons to cycle through the tabs?
ctrl+right arrow would be easier than ctrl+alt+right arrow.
But maybe you have a reason for that which I don't know.

Bye!

ctrl+arrow is used to change the focus without affecting the selection in views like list, large icon etc

Yes, the more that can be customized, the better.
I would strip al the [(@)]#@#)]'s in the title bar too. I know it all has a function, but it looks better for me without and I don't use the information either. But maybe that's only me.

Bye

the titlebar info is useful for identifying x2 windows minimized on the taskbar -- when you have more than 1 lying around
