This was a step ahead at least...
I get really irritated (and I did try to get used to this), when the addressbox becomes an inputfield for commands or searches or filters. That's why I'd really appreciate a seperate textbox in a toolbar.
One "other": If remote folders are difficult to load, skip them and move on to the next (especially when loading multiple tabs with such remote folders or when loading tree with neighborhood PCs.)
I vote for 'Rockets'....man, i've always wanted something with rockets:shock:....i can't seem to find the mounting points on my Impala for these military class JATOs.
1. Robust transfer always
2. Robust delete
3. Skip difficult to load folders (perhaps a user configured timeout)
4. All options put into GUI instead of medling in registry

I agree with snakebyte; Nikos, I think of all the features on the list, this one will give you the most "bang for your buck" (or euro).

This is an excellent idea.
If I had a second vote, I'd cast it for Quick Find.
And a third vote would go to Robust Delete (with always on Robust Transfer).
I would prefer to see a dedicated toolbar which shows the bookmarks (much like in Internet/Windows Explorer & FireFox). It can't be hard and it would make the bookmarking system in x2 sooo much more useful.
I don't mind much about keyboard customization, I'm perfectly happy with the shortcuts as they are now. But I actually agree with people like fgagnon, longfellow and snakebyte: It would make a difference for many users who got stuck a bit to their habits inherited from Windows explorer.
My vote was more a strategical move: Auto-updating searches. But the real thing for me would be 'other', namely portability. I'm afraid that part is a bit out of focus. Maybe, Nikos, if we get to arrange girlfriend to do a complete round of family visits, would that free up the time you need for a portable xplorer2 ?
so that's it then, vox populi has delivered the verdict and the production schedule... you unruly lot! Didn't I urge you not to pick that damn option #7? How am i supposed to write keyboard customization code in 2 weeks, use the force or something?
so much for democracy, next time we revert to aristocracy
