No to All

Post by Donald »

Am I correct in my conclusion that xplorer2 does not offer the "No to all" choice?   :?:

This seems to be a common failing. I have missed this choice ever since XTree for Windows and Norton File Manager, became outdated.  If xplorer2 does not offer this choice, does anyone know a current browser addon or file manager that does? This is a Microsoft failing, at least in my opinion, that many seem to want to emulate. Microsoft also encourages the spread of spy ware by not having a "never trust" choice on installations. (This may have been corrected in service pack two.)

If you are speaking of file transfers (copy/move)
xplorer² Pro version offers a number of smart options.  
For a short description, see the Robust File Transfer section of the Quick Start Guide: Help | Quick start
The Log error and continue copying choice is effectively "No to all" with the added feature of a log for the cases that did not transfer. :)
More information can be found in the User Guide under Using Robust File Transfer commands

Thank you for the information.  :)  

I have not had a chance to get back and try xplorer2 some more.  I did notice it seems to respond fast.

I exited when I needed to delete a folder that xplorer2 would not delete. I did see a post on this, although I think it was on it being too easy, don't really recall.  Something to do with the pane arrangement.  The folder was highlighted and I could see it was empty, but it would not delete.  Just need the time to learn.  

I did find out that it apparently does not have a filter to list deleted files in a folder. In a classic series of misclicks, in a photo viewing program, I misdragged a file and it dropped n the wrong folder, replace must be the default button, the cursor moved to it, and when I was trying to get the file to the right place, it clicked. Lost that photo and apparently replaced really means replaced, I did try a program to undelete it, but it was gone. So I doubt the feature would have helped, other than as a confirmation. If I had accidentally deleted it, that would have been no problem. Sigh.

Hmmm....I wonder if there is a digital camera that could number the photos with a date sequence so that you normally would never have the same name.

I believe it's standard windows behaviour, that when a dialog with options of [Yes] [Yes to All] [No] [Cancel] is presented, holding the shift key while pressing the "No" buttons functions as a "No to all" command.
