I have seen the future - sneak preview: xplorer²

Post by **nikos** » 2002 Mar 29, 14:00

our secret filming crew managed to come up with a scoop preview of what seems to be an early alpha version of the next generation 2x

the picture quality is crude but it clearly demonstrates the newly-found capability of column processing

the authors were not available for further comments

Nikos:
What would be on my wish list would be a column showing the "path" with the results of a Find file search!

Richard

It looks great Nikos.

a column showing the "path" with the results of a Find file search

BTW, i just realized that senjor "rgd" most probably isn't aware that he can see details like path in the find results window right now in the current R7xx version; just right-click in that window and you'll find loads of goodies, including details and even printing

You've seen the snapshots (gone pear-shaped already) now try the real thing:

xplorer² alpha

Let me reiterate that this is not a replacement for 2xExplorer, not at this stage at least. Only experienced testers need apply.

Any non-UI feedback will be appreciated

I just got back here last night and dl'd the alpha...pretty neat, Nikos

Nothing went wrong

The tooltips are working great!

When will all of this be in 2xE? (whenwhenwhenwhen!!!)

daataaa

:crazy: :sly: :sarcasm: :laugh: :hehe: :xmas:

very little of the new features could get in the old carcass of 2xExplorer

The new generation xplorer² has months (if not years) development ahead till it reaches a usability level comparable to the present 2xExplorer

I suppose that at some stage I'll try to transfer some stuff onto 2x so as to keep you all keen

(you'll be glad to hear that infotips are one of those things that can be ported)
