Re: Suffix and Prefix in file's names

A bit late for a reply - but I use "Bulk Rename Utility" a brilliant, very comprehensive and best of all free program that once installed appears in the right click menu of Xyplorer. Although scripts can do the job this program is far, far better and much simpler to use.

Re: Make panes equal ?

Thank you. I had looked through all the commands but obviously had missed the syntax for "copy tab". I was thinking about panes not tabs. There is no problem in reactivation the "now inactive pane" as the same command just flips control back.

I used to have a toolbar button that copied the open tab in the active pane to the inactive panes. Basically make the same file view appear in both panes. I do not remember if...

? Change drive icon in Toolbar

Getting older and using a high resolution monitor I am finding it difficult to see the letters in the default drive icons in the toolbar. I would like to use a plain capital letter instead. It does not appear to be possible to change the default icon so I guess I need a custom button but cannot get ...

Re: How to replace ( and ) in a script?

Thank you for the quick replies. Both of your suggestions work OK as does the original one I written. I had closed the PC down and had to reopen it to try these. That may have cleared something out of the system. Computers - will they ever catch on? I will continue working my way through the script ...
