XYplorer Beta Club
What would rocket XY into the File Manager Hall of Fame is the concept I (and everyone else) was introduced to when Firefox began displaying those thumbnails of sites recently visited. What I'm referring to is an engine capable of taking a (user-defined size) screenshot of every HTML file in any folder containing HTML files. Not a command line process (Image Magick); not a user-invoked script. You open XY's viewer panel/window dedicated to this one function and the visual results spill before you automatically, stored (mySql) and instantly updated if new files have been added. Little "art galleries" of your HTML.
I stumbled on an open source app from Holland called "Arles Web Page Creator" with an extremely impressive HTML-TO-IMAGE feature included in the program, and found myself in thrall watching those thumbnails render. There were my botched experiments. My successful projects. HTML I had abandoned, buried under the hundreds of other HTML files that assumed priority for one reason or another. Having a visual image of the HTML you've compiled is just unbelievably helpful. This is one of those times I wish I was better at programming, I'd be all over this. Mozilla has done it. Arles has mastered it. And there are a few shareware versions (of dubious reputation, trust me, they're not worth the bandwidth).
If XY could add this feature you'd be eating everyone else's file manager for lunch lol.
Seriously, this is a wonderful file manager and I thank you for it. I also thank you for the merciful decision to vest the application with an icon that doesn't contain either yellow or blue.
