I have to agree with your marketing plug about 3.0 "...exciting new features like Ribbon UI ..."

Yes, indeed. I'm "excited" over the Ribbon. So excited it may cause my BP to go up a few dozen points.

That said, I'm still one of your biggest fans - even when team Nikos does a stinker....

as far as features go in the crowded file manager market, this one is for the time being only available in windows explorer and xplorer2 (you can call it an "edge"), so we'll see how many people will end up excited

...this one is for the time being only available in windows explorer...

Attributing an "edge" to something from a failed minority OS designed for toys and depth-perceptionally challenged adults is setting the bar a little low, isn't it? No one's expecting you to score with a cheerleader or the head of the debating team, but surely she needn't smell of day old cigarette butts either. On the other hand, for people who like "shiny" (I venture this is not really your target audience), it does give them something to ogle.

But were someone to raise the question as to "Weren't there slightly more deserving features on the waiting list...?" the answer of "Look! Shiny!" seems lax. But hey, ogling is fun too...

On the plus side, the mass-renamer accepts selections in the literal order they are given, so using the <Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down> repositioning trick to fudge the item order when applying a sequential counter does make things more acute.

+1, -1, makes you "evens", where I grew up.

in this forum we all agree to disagree and in a hot-headed stubborn persistence that won't be shaken by reason or argumentation
i don't think there are any 2 persons that feel the same thing about any one issue
what a circus this is
