Here's a healthy suggestion for x2 V2:Kilmatead wrote:By All Things Holy, Win7 has way too many nonsense column options.

Well, then you can be quite welcome to "Assistant's Name", "Assistant's Phone", "Hobbies", "Optional Attendee Address", "Car Phone", "Gender", "Middle Name", "Nickname", and so on. I mean, come on - the label "Part of a Compilation" is actually 5 times longer than any practical data it might contain.

Thanks for the info. I finally got it working in Win7 x64 after fooling around with the settings in the Control Panel. Looks good (I opted for the Explorer format--all sizes in KB). No more DD and the sizing for large folders is done quickly compared to that of native X2.Kilmatead wrote:While the FolderSize site does say "Folder Size 2.5 is for Windows 2000 or XP. Sorry, Vista and 7 changed Explorer so it can't support this column anymore", however this column does work in Windows 7 when using x2. The author of the utility is aware of this, but chooses not to acknowledge that his application is still useful for Windows 7 users who also use xplorer2, so it will work just fine.
I'd settle for x2 displaying the list in alphabetical order, as is done Windows Explorer 7. I also wish there was a universal properties editor, e.g. I have a use for Location, Date Acquired and Date Released - but not on pictures or movies, but on SCADA data sets - but I'm not looking to x2 to do that.Kilmatead wrote:Here's a healthy suggestion for x2 V2:Kilmatead wrote:By All Things Holy, Win7 has way too many nonsense column options.
If you check "Tools->Options->Save Program State on Exit" I think it does what you're looking for.bmolony wrote:I would love to have an option to save the current X2 windows that are open and then automatically restore them after a reboot. That would include all of the current screen positions, folder panes that are open, folders/files currently selected, etc. As close to everything exactly the same as is reasonably possible.
If a program is still running when the user or the system decides to do a restart or shutdown it gets a message from Windows which effectively says "shut down right now, or I will kill you". I'm not sure if x2 saves its state in that circumstance, possibly not. Consider what would happen if x2 got killed whilst saving the state, it would have to be able to access "last known good state" when it restarted.bmolony wrote:RightPaddock, thanks again for thinking about me!
However, I already had that option checked.
Unfortunately, that is not what I was looking for.
What I wanted was, IF X2 is open before I reboot,
then when the restart happens and Window reappears,
X2 should automatically reopen to the same state(s).
What programs get started at boot time is essentially a static list.bmolony wrote:If X2 is not open before reboot, then it should not auto reopen.
