While doing some heavy file managing (re-org folder structure) on my network share at work, x2 crashed all the time (not just on closing).
This frequently happened when "dragging" or Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V ing files to change their locations; it didn't always happen, but once every 10-15 times does get anoying. I seemed to have better success using Ctrl-F6, however (maybe its something to do with refresh).
The problem may be related to file management over our network at work; however, I would prefer that xplorer2 report an error rather than just crashing.
HOWEVER, x2 is still the most phun utility I've ever used for managing files (even if it does crash occasionally).
X2 ROCKS!
x2 frequently crashes on exit

I am using x2 1.0.0.1 on WinXP Pro SP1

What is a Dr.Watson log?
> are you working with x2 during the copy operation...?
I am just waiting for x2 to finish the move/copy (it won't let me do anything else during this operation)
> also does the plain explorer crash at all for you?
I have enjoyed using 2x and now x2 pro so much that it has become my shell/interface to Windows. (Does Windows even come with a file manager? ;-)

dr watson is windows' program funeral director 
when a program crashes it creates a log (funeral rites) in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DrWatson
please send this to me via email. In fact chances are that all your previous crashes are already in it. But let's make sure we get one with version 1001
BTW, x2 will allow you to do other things while it is copying, only it is a bit sluggish to react. Still note that launching a second copy operation won't work, unless you clone a new window. But other than that you can continue previewing, browsing, etc

I sent an email to: umeca74@ic.ac.uk
I hope this is the right one.
Interrestingly, there were no drwatson log entries of x2 crashing until 06/23/2004. I upgraded from 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.1 on that morning.
