something new for the new year

hey, this thing is now almost a full explorer!
www.zabkat.com/test/deskrule.zip

drag drop, contenxt menus, the lot. Also check the readme file for various x2-like keyboard shortcuts. If you want to use it as a search engine (albeit a slow one), try the /A command line switch to make the assertions shut up

cheers for any feedback

So you'll stop developing x²?

cheers for any feedback

Still extremely slow startup (with an assertion fault), the "clear filter" button looks like rubbish, my previous comment persists:

The "search" button should be greyed out unless it's ready

Also, I get an assertion when dropping a folder now.

[nikos]

what are these assertions? try ABOUT box (right click on the titlebar) and use Send error log button
no actually that is the crash info, so just open your %TEMP% folder and email me the file called
DeRu_tracelog1.0.0.15 [Unicode] DBG.txt
ta!

That file only contains one of the assertions...?

This is the one I get on startup:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

Debug Assertion Failed!

Expression: 0==bufValue || *pdwCount

("god", eh?)

This is the one I get when I drop a folder (three times, and a stupid voice):

[nikos]

ok, these are all harmless i suppose. If you want to test without these windows popping, use the /A command line switch

[Tuxman]

Well, you should know better.

I'll play a bit with it.
