Folder Children & File Children?
Posted: 2023 Sep 23, 10:43
Hi, I've been using Xplorer2 Pro (version 2, upgraded from Version 1.6) since my Win XP days. It does everything I need and if it isn't broke don't fix it! It's superb and I honestly can't live without it (I have 24.5 TB of SSD storage and 32TB of HDD storage, mostly audio, video and image files)
Anyway, the motherboard of the computer I built in 2014 has finally died on me so have built a new PC and sadly have had to 'upgrade' from Windows 7 to the abomination (IMO) that is Windows 10. Thankfully I have managed to 'tame' Windows 10 by getting rid of all the superfluous unnecessary rubbish and spyware it comes with and disabling many services and most scheduled tasks etc. I've also got rid of the awful 'ribbons' and have managed to get back to a proper start menu etc.
I 'carried forward' many of my old applications but also took the opportunity to see if there have been any new versions of these applications. So I downloaded and installed the latest version of Xplorer2. Just the trial at the moment, I am happy to purchase the latest version after trialling it. It took a bit of work to get the foldersize column to work but it now does.
Version 2 has two columns that I use all the time:
Folder Children: Display the total number of subfolders within Folders
File Children: Display the total number of files within folders
However, I can't find these two columns anywhere in the current version so have gone back to using V2 which still works perfectly, including the Folder Children & File Children columns.
I would love to upgrade to the latest Pro version but if it cannot do the folder/file children columns that I need then obviously I can't.
I'd be grateful if someone can tell me if it's possible to have these two columns in the current version and if so how to get them to be visible in the 'available columns' list
Many thanks,
Ali.
