Seeing this just now in the changes.txt:
"user commands and those from the addressbar can be applied to ALL selected items"
This is an old one on my wish-list  :party:  :party:  :party:

I can not run this beta. :(
Firstly UxTheme.dll was missing (I downloaded it from dll-files.com) after this issue was solved, it gave me an error about RtUnhandledExceptionFilter related to ntdll.dll.
I am a Windows 2000 user.

I decided to enable the integration option when I installed this beta (open folders in x2) and I had some questions:

What is the effect of the /I option if there is no settings.reg file specified and no settings.reg file exists in the same folder as the x2 executable?

Why does the x2solo window appear behind/below the window of the program that you are opening the folder from? The Windows Explorer windows appears in front.

Wepver is that the 32 or 64 bit version you are running?

FrizzleFry the only mirror with the manual is this, i'm working for the others

i see the x2solo window upfront on my XP/32 are you using bSingleWindow registry tweak?

finally here's the list of all recent changes

Nikos : I also cannot run 19 beta (18 beta is OK).
Xplorer2.exe (ansi) missing dependency 'UxTheme.dll'.
Running 32bit ver on Windows 98SE.

Hope this helps :)

That's a windows system theme controller file which older systems may not have. It is available for download from multiple sources.
For backward compatibility the release version of x2 may need to include an 'open' version if not present on the host system ... or design out any call for it on those older systems that do not have 'themes'.

One major problem: If I have some tabs targeted at shared folders on my LAN, when I restart x2, it shows desktops on all tabs. Worse, I do not know which were the folders, as it does not retain the address for each tab.

Unless I missed a registry change that allows x2 to try for xxxx ms before skipping the tab.

But that is the defined behavior for using the /N switch, which I suspect you have on the command line.

No I am facing that problem with the GUI.

BTW v19 fails to install.

I get the following error:

---------------------------
xplorer² professional Setup
---------------------------
Error opening file for writing:
C:\Utilities\xplorer2\editor2_UC.exe
Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file.

Abort   Retry   Ignore

Looks like someone just forgot to make uxtheme.dll a delay-load library.
I'm using Xplorer2 - the only file manager that does not suck. Actually, it rocks!

anyway now i get it, i switched to VS 2003 compilers and i guess they dropped windows 98, so here it is again, it should work:

Does that solve the two problems I mentioned?

1. Installer does not work at all.
2. GUI shows only desktop in tabs in place of NN folders when x2 restarts
