I would especially like three things in a new version:
1) The ability to keep the filter active when you leave the subdirectory that was filtered, so that when you go up in the directory and then down in another subdirectory, you don’t have to activate the filter again (unless I’m wrong, nowadays the filterstring stays visible, but one has to “enter” again to activate it)
2) I would like very much the ability to sort of "block" one pane, limit the possibilities in it, making that you can COPY from the left to the right pane, but not (eg accidently) MOVE from left to right (or delete in the left pane)
(when I’m preparing a project, I copy a lot of files to a given projectdirectory, and I’m always fearing that I would accidently move a file instead of copying it)
I’ve searched other solutions, but changing the permissions goes to far for me
3) More flexibility to add custom buttons: unless I’m wrong, now it is not possible to add a custom button to go eg to the directory MyComputer or Downloads?
Furthermore, less important, and perhaps even impossible, but I take my chance, I feel free to contribute: I would like:
4) The possibility to add a bookmark (or a button) to jump in xplorere2 to my mobile phone when I’ve connected this (but perhaps it always has another IP-adress?)
5) The possibility to compare two photos (so, therefore is needed a preview window in the left pane, and a second preview in the right pane)
6) The possibility to “mute” (toggle, not changing each click on a next file) not only the sound but also the video in the preview window (when the preview window is active but another video-player is active too, you sometimes get two players playing together – or worse: not together
7) An automated way to make a “comment file” (notepad) with explications about a specific photo file (so that you find immediately after the “commented” file in the directory); or alternatively: possibility to add custom exif-data and mark/search for them
Perhaps it’s useful that the pane changes of backgroundcolour when it’s filtered (instead of, or in addition to, the actual warning) or blocked (see 2 above)
9) I also want to report one problem I often encounter: when scrolling through a directory with photos and movie-files, when I’ve passed a movie, the next photo is not shown, the preview windows show a lot of asci-code, and I have to toggle from native to draft and back again to have the preview of the next photo.
10) I would like More colours tags
11) I find, indeed, the idea of a middle toolbar very logic and very useful
