x2 0.33 feedback

[MaxAuthority]

hi,

first of all, x2 rocks. Nearly as much as 2xExplorer does, but I think it will surpass it very soon.

However, some feedback for version 0.33:

I really anticipated the column selection tool since I thought it would speed up things, when viewing large folders.

But even now with only the 4 default columns browsing e.g. C:\windows\system32 takes 2-3 seconds to show all items compared to about half a second with the WIndows Explorer.

Second: I think the idea with the scrap frame is great, but it could be even made better:

First, I think it should be dockable in at the bottom of xplorer2. If you don't like this behavior than it should at least has the main window as the parent so that it will stay on top of xplorer2, when I activate the xplorer2 window.

Third, when going to the root folder (::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}), it shouldn't scan the floppy since this will cause a delay of at least a second or so and the sound is annoying when accessing the floppy.

however, good work

the alpha version distributed is a "debug" build which is very slow due to extensive internal checks. Don't worry about speed, the real deal is extremely fast and small

dockable windows are in the pipeline (not for anytime soon though)
