You assume MRU has been defined. Try performing these operations from the keyboard prior to defining a path. How is digging through 3 nested menus quick? How is this accomplished easily with the keyboard? Sorry.. but with other managers, I can perform this operation with a single keystroke. In XY, i...

Quick copy / move

Copying / moving from one tab to another with the keyboard or via menus takes entirely too much time in XY (compared to a dual paned manager). It would be nice to be able to flag a tab, favorite, or catalog item as a destination folder (maybe show current dst folder in status area) and copy/move fil...

Thank you for pointing me at previous discussion. However, I must state that most of the points made there are moot. JC addresses most of them already (rename, truncation). Regarding "empty" real-estate in the tabs for left click/drag operations, this is easy to solve. If a drag operation ...

I can think of a number of ways to combat this: a.) When the paths in the tabs are subject to truncation (i.e. ellipses appear), you could disable the breadcrumb feature or limit clicks to complete path elements. b.) Hovering over a truncated tab "maximizes" it (temporarily shrinking other...

After a bit more research, I've found a way to get My Computer, et al to use XPlorer. Modifying the Folder, rather than the Directory root key will do what I want. However, due to the fact that XY will not properly browse the control panel and similar "directories", this doesn't work perfe...

The instructions in the referenced FAQ entry only partially replace explorer. Clicking on My Computer, etc, still launches explorer. I'd like to get XY to fully integrate like DOpus does.

Easier breadcrumbs for mouse-centric users?

Why not have each component of the path in the active tab be clickable? For example, if I'm browsing C:\Program Files\XYplorer; C:, Program Files, and XYplorer can be clicked to navigate to that directory. This functionality would be disabled for inactive tabs (for obvious reasons). Directory Opus (...

Hotlist / Breadcrumb / Drive dropdown position

It would be awfully nice if the hotlist dropdown (and possibly others) could position its upper left corner to the current location of the mouse (maybe as an configurable option or a different hotkey?). I've bound ^H to a button on my mouse. This would be very useful if the resulting dropdown menu w...
