It's a bit old now but I just discovered that the live filter box appears on the InputSelect() dialog within scripts, and it blew my mind. :mrgreen:

Forced me to rewrite my Script listing menu just to make use of InputSelect.

Code: Select all

"Select from Script Folder"
	$items = FolderReport('items','return', "<xyscripts>", 'r');
	$items = RegexReplace("$items", '(^.*\.xys$)|^.*$','$1');
	$items = RegexReplace("$items", '[\r\n]+', "<crlf>");
	$items = FormatList("$items", 'ted', "<crlf>");
	$selected = InputSelect('Pick a script - any script!', "$items", "<crlf>", 1);
	Load "$selected", '*', 'f';
Thanks Don!

The new drive bar with both the shell context menu as well as the ability to function as drop target, is great!

Thank you.

Checking out XYplorer again, have become quite fed up with my File Manager of choice.

There's definitely some features missing in XYPlorer, some I may be able to live without (in general). And a definite difference in some features, and/or different naming scheme. Yet there are other features that have an amazing depth to them.

Admin/Don seems to at least take his users wishes in consideration when further developing the code base. Which is nice to see.

Personally I'd love to be able to customize the Main Menu's (As opposed to just the user menu), but it is something I can live without.

The Rename feature seems very powerful, though I kinda miss having the preview/file list/and Search|Replace fields/options all in one screen.

XYPlorer's Search options are quite awesome.

The InfoPanel is excellent as well, although since it contains the preview sub-tab, it feels out of place at the bottom -- the ability to display the InfoPanel in the other panel instead of solely at the bottom would utilize wide screen monitors space more effectively... there is a lot of empty space in the Info Panel when it's open at the bottom.

Hopefully I'm not too set in my ways, as this is a great piece of software.

You did notice this item on Roadmap (http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=830) in 3-B position, right?

Code: Select all

- - Preview Pane: New XL preview on the right window side and detachable (in a separate window)
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

My wiping needs are covered and I am happy. Bad timing, though, as I had to clean my laptop just last week which is already done. Someone mentioned cleaning of the remaining space... hmmmmm...not bad... :blink:

Thanks for folderreport() too, which more or less is covering all other failing tools in the cataloging field I tested to keep records on wiped files which will require further replacement.

Moveas() is a new feature which I was missing for a long time but never asked. It's making my job easier as it completely replaces 3 cycles of file processing I needed to do in the old times it wasn't available, that means HOURS of processing saved by this feature alone.
So I heartfully say many, many, many thanks!

Although not having an option to use negative filtering (ie, filter IN everything that is NOT specified), folderreport+formatlist [filter] is being of a great help to me, much more than I originally intended. Thanks a lot, admin!

Just want to mention: I like "Sticky Section in Various MRU lists" very much!

Thanks for that!

Thanks for the indent in Flat-view. Love it! :D
Personally i think indent should be the default setting.

In the beginning I thought: flat-view - something to play with.

But now, e.g. with

Code: Select all

v10.50.0028 - 2011-11-18 12:39
    * Flat View: On a mixed Flat View (i.e. /:flat = showing files and
      folders), any Visual Filters or Name Search patterns from now on
      only apply to files, not to folders. In other words, all folders
      always pass any filters.
      This fine feature, combined with level-indent and tree-like sort
      order, enables you to view *filtered trees* in the file list, for
      example a tree showing only images or only EXE files. Hot stuff!
it becomes more and more interesting!

In other words: a good idea!
