Info Panel - tab navigation shortcuts?

Is there a way to move among tabs in the info panel without the mouse?

The standard ctrl-page-up/down moves among tabs in the associated pane.

Confirmation dialog boxes hidden under other windows

I am using version 17.60.0100 so I don't know if this is resolved already. When doing moves/copies/deletes that are large enough to take some time I will work on other things while I wait. Numerous times I find that a dialog box has opened to confirm something or other while the task waits. The prob...

Paper Folder Usage

I've tried the paper folder features via the toolbar but I think I will be able to do more without the mouse if I use the ability to have a PF in the catalog. But when I add a catalog item and use the edit dialog to insert the path to the paper folder the resulting action when clicking on that catal...

Time/Timer option for catalog launcher

I know this is far afield for file management but -- I have added a single click launching of a notepad file that I already use for logging my notes/activities. It would be cool if I could add a time of day, or a repeating interval to trigger the "auto-launch" of this log file. I suppose I...

Re: Labels vs Tags

Thanks all.

In summary the real-word use is commonly: a)tags tend to be about the content of file while b)labels tend to be about status of the file. That makes perfect sense.

Labels vs Tags

I have looked at Help and searched the forum here and I am still not sure if labels are functionally any different from tags. It seems that using labels are basically tagging with colors. Am I missing something? If this is the case how are people using labels in the real world if anything other than...

About Donald and the company

I'm really happy about the potential that tagging and comments bring to my workflow and there are a great many other features I will be using as well at some point. As some others have mentioned, I only need the free features but those are so valuable to me I will be paying for a Pro version anyway....

Re: Effects on XYP when files are moved/deleted w/ WinExplor

Thanks. I had confirmed that by changing a file name in Windows Explorer the new name is reflected in XYplorer immediately but tags and comments are gone. Hopefully the one orphan won't cause a problem and I will avoid using those features where I someone else might make changes.

Fee version vs Free Trial

Looking over the site and I can't tell if the free version is something that can be used on an ongoing basis with limited features or if it the same as a 30-day Free Trial. I am pretty sure I will buy this but (IMHO) this distinction should be more clear.

Effects on XYP when files are moved/deleted w/ WinExplorer

I could not find the right search terms to see if this was already asked so, if it's already here, sorry. I have note installed the tool yet but I wanted to ask first rather than try this in case it can cause some problem. I am wondering what happens if I tag, comment, color some file or directory u...
