Ah! John Conway, and number theory. That brings back memories of happy days at University. I loved pure mathematics, and still do. There is something fascinating about numbers, particularly prime numbers.

Don, I think you'll find it not as daunting as you imagine. I've had to learn different programming languages. I expect, like me, it will appear a mammoth task at first. Then it will all start to fall into place and you'll wonder what the problems were. Good luck, I'm delighted that you've decided t...

Certainly not where I would have expected to hear a Dowland lute recital. Mustapha Tettey Addy and The Obonu Drummers perhaps.

I've got a set CD's of Weiss lute sonatas, only recently discovered his music. As for Bach - well, there aren't many of his works I haven't got recordings of. Organ, harpsichord (two of my favourite instruments), and the cantatas. I've never heard the Toccata & fugue in D minor, BWV565 played on the...

Interesting. I like the guitar, don't care so much for the vocal. But then, I'm rather selective in the vocal classical music I like.

You can't read. The user name is Gand o lf, not Gandalf. Furthermore, read again why you banned me. It was because I dared to challenge your claim that YOU had discovered the bug, not me. It was pre-2007, I know that because I remember that my wife was disgusted with your attitude, and she died in 2...

My taste in guitar music is somewhat earlier, 16th. and 17th. century. More often played on the lute than the guitar.
Having said that, I do occasionally listen to Hendrix, Pink Floyd etc... (but only when I'm in a psychedelic mood!!)

I had viral pneumonia (very similar to coronavirus) in my early 30's, so I have some personal experience of what it is like not being able to breath. To say the least, it is frightening! It took me the best part of six months to get back on my feet. I don't remember much of the first three weeks I s...

I reported a bug to DOpus.
They denied it existed.
They then fixed it, claiming to have discovered it themselves.
I complained.
THEY BANNED ME FOR COMPLAINING.

BUT...
They continued to e-mail me demanding money to renew my licence.

Don used to describe XY as an "explorer style file manager with a second pane". I suspect the way he has implemented the second pane makes it difficult, perhaps impossible, to add a second tree.

You started this thread about File Managers Don. ...But maybe some of you use other file managers for specific tasks (or maybe for most tasks, and XYplorer just for specific tasks). That would be interesting to know. Not to copy those features. I think it's totally okay and normal to use different f...

Help yourself along the bloat cascade: https://www.xyplorer.com/freezer.php

Why use an outdated version of XYplorer that isn't bloated, when there are other current file managers that aren't bloated?

Or Tablacus Explorer. Both are basic file managers, like XY used to be before it became bloated.

The value 0 (= hex 000000) is interpreted by XYplorer as "take the factory default value".

Why not leave the entry blank to use the default?

I take it that you are not a member of MENSA!
