tip 126b
a few bugfixes

[Kilmatead]

Ok, I give up... why is Herbie Hancock in the changelog?

And (since it doesn't work on the release version either) I'm guessing that Height [S] and Width [S} are not intended to work on phones? (Given that you corrected the errant Résolution columns, I was curious... phone freespace works...)

As an aside, I've been modifying the resources of x2 for so long that I've forgotten what all your original icons looked like... saw the status-bar's "hidden-files obscured" icon and thought aliens had landed... weird.

Nothing broken yet... early days... but... I mean, I can be as groovy as Scooby Doo on a Thursday morning, but Herbie? Is Bootsy Collins next? What happened to your Abercrombie obsession?

[nikos]

hancock is there to demonstrate the kind of underlines in names that exist and mass rename now removes
photo dimensions won't work in phones, but they should work for normal folders, no?

[Kilmatead]

Sure, they work fine otherwise... (I would have screamed a lot louder if they didn't.) Considering I didn't even know Tools -> Free Space was "a thing" I just rely upon "This PC" for that - pity it only shows up for phones when you hit the "Generic Hierarchical" type-layer. Just sayin'. Which, come to think of it, it already does in the current version...

Wake me up when the filtering can remove ads from youtube (i didn't even notice the underlines at first such was my bewilderment at time travel. Sounds like the sound track of every 70's American Cop show. )

[nikos]

don't you see free space on your statusbar too? (won't work for fones tho)

[Kilmatead]

(won't work for fones tho)

Interestingly enough it does actually (in this beta), except it just says "39GB", it does not say "free" as a normal report, nor does it include the percentage - so it looks a bit weird, just a lonely number sitting around waiting for a qualifier to ask it out on a date, to add context to an otherwise sad perspective. Hey, being a number is hard. Algebra was their true Martin Luther moment of recognition.

Come to think of it, while it's all very nice to have phones on the "minidrivebar" (never knew it existed), why not the main drive bar? That's the one of immediate value.

[nikos]

no I meant the free space on the statusbar WITHOUT using the free space menu

Nyet! Нет! Non! As usual I'm right and you're wrong, Mon capitaine lunkhead! This is what it looks like (in the beta) for phone-browsing, replete with landing alien spacecraft!



If I was browsing a normal device, it would have the usual "...free (21%)" suffixed on.

[nikos]

that's an unintended feature!?

[johngalt]

Installing the Beta now. Lemme see what it thinks of my phone.

[nikos]

ok so this is a bug that considers phones to be network, but I'll leave it be

[roosterville]

The Items count bug from 6.0003 is still there.

To see this, go to advanced settings and enable:

Show ..UPDIR (parent) item in filesystem folders

after you've done this, the x items(s) info in the status bar will count the ".." entry, so counting one item too many.

If there are two files in the current pane, it will say "3 item(s)"

Pete

[nikos]

you can see it either way, since the up-dir item exists, it is counted
when you do any file operation on all items, .. is unselected automatically
