Catalog Merging
Catalog Merging - XY gets serious and moves into the big time - how much XY has changed over the last year - truly amzing. The competition are being left in the slow lane!

Re: Feature Request: XYplorer Program Icon Change
the latest logo is, I think, perfect - I was starting to think some of the previous versions were aimed at kids! This new one has an air of immediate interest and identity unlike other logos and shows XYplorer to be a modern product - unfortunately these things are important to the success of produc...

toolbar scrolling
I really like this new feature - I guess if it were in Windows 7 it might be classed as gloss but very useful. If you could, say double click on the tool bar to get it to revert to the default start position then it would be fantastic. Whilst saying nice things about this new feature the zoom is als...

Re: Windows 7 VirtualStore folder
Or are you referring to Program Files where the appl is stored? Even then, it has to be kept somewhere... yes I was referring to Program Files as this appears to problems this thread is about. I am using Windows 7 64bit and as such I have XY in a folder C:\Users\Graham\XYploer and all is there, eve...

Re: Tough words about GUI
Given that the quote from admin was shown in isolation from the preceding claims from zer0 I think admins respose was actually conservative and measured. XY has changed massively in a short time and these have been driven from user input as well as Don's own ideas. I think XY will change even more a...

Re: Tough words about GUI
quote Zer0 More than 2.5 million people downloaded Office 2010 beta. More than 2 out of every 3 people who responded to the survey by Microsoft last month said that the Ribbon makes it easier to discover new features. That's a phenomenal statistic that shows how many people recognise importance of u...

Re: Tough words about GUI
@zer0; Let me say from the outset that I have worked professionally for several years in product (mainly services) marketing and have done a lot of the theory, the courses and more importantly the actual graft of bringing a new product into being. That primarily started with market segmentation and ...

Re: Tough words about GUI
As JC said things like MY Doc.... , Folders, etc do make me wince and like JC my background was from mainframes. All that is reasonable for people like us and this is where we have to give way. The modern PC is not a mainframe and the display is not monochrome text only and the typical users are not...

Re: Tough words about GUI
JC quote: Exactly! For example, a lot of ppl I chat with online said that Aero was just a waste and never use it...looks nice (glossy), but no value...so there needs to be a way to keep both types of users happy...skins maybe? You need to use it before you base judgements on others - Aero Peek is a ...
