2 xplorer2 suggestions

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I looked for a specific xplorer2 Suggestions area but didn't find one.)

There's only one thing that I think Windows Explorer still has over explorer2: pathname auto-complete in the address bar. That'd be cool.

Also, I think it would make scrap containers a lot more useful if you could select folders/files it contained, right-click the selection, and get the full context menu---in particular, compression commands. (This currently works only with objects from the same folder.) However, I realize that kind of magic may be beyond even Nikos's powers.

what version of x2 are you running?

You may have autocompletion & don't know it - just hit F1 to invoke/cycle thru the matches for any addressbar partial path/file entry ...

& Scraps DO permit r-click context menu appropriate to the selection; but it sounds like you want to add to the choices. (There may be issues with the m$ shell implementation that limit how far nikos could take this.)

re: scraps right-click, indeed there's a problem with multi-folder selections. However there are alternatives like creating the zip file first and then drag-dropping your selection on/in it
