0.33 - fanatastic!

Post by Morning Star »

0.33 is looking really great. I love the column settings; great job there :)

Just one quick question though. Is there any way to turn off the default behaviour of 2x/x2 walking into a .zip file when it is double clicked on?
2x & x2 seem to override the default application/action, and walking right in. Although this functionality is clean and intuitive, I find it a little limiting, and prefer to use say, PowerArchiver, with my .zip files. (Its also a little incongrous to have x2 enter a .zip when clicked on, but launch PowerArchiver when a .rar/.ace/etc is double clicked on.)
It is my job to comfort the disturbed,
and to disturb the comfortable.

playing devil's advocate, there are many things you can do in x2 with zipfolders that you can't using a native zip app like winrar

for instance you can compare zip contents with external files, see thumbnails, etc plus all the usual stuff like copying names, previewing text...
