admin wrote: ↑26 Jun 2021 14:32 But anyway, here is a question to one real user: What do you think of the hard-coded 12 line limit? Too high, too low?

Well, my personal words, I feel that should not use so many lines.

OK, got it. You are very thoughtful, and the situation you describe does exist. If you need to limit the number of lines, maybe you can provide an option in the settings to let the user decide whether to ellipse and how many lines to retain. Since users may not use as many multi-line extra tags, if ...

One (not very good) idea would be to limit the displayed number of lines per tag . Sorry, I don't really understand what "per tag" means. If I am correct, it should be that only the comment field is multi-line, do you mean limiting the number of lines of the comment field displayed? Actua...

Another small question related to this topic: Can multi-line comment be displayed in File Info Tips with line breaks?
To distinguish them from other attributes, it would be more obvious to put some spaces or something in front of each line.

Wow, does such a button exist? Can't wait to experience it.

admin wrote: ↑25 Jun 2021 12:38 The Info Panel has not enough space for this.

Maybe have sub-level tabs like the Find Files or Report tab?
Or, it would be acceptable to show only extra tags with values.

admin wrote: ↑25 Jun 2021 12:20 Next beta has it. Cool feature actually. I wonder how I haven't done it long ago.

It's so efficient.
Note: File Info Tips and Info Panel are two different functions. It is best to support both, the former for quick viewing and the latter for copying or editing.

Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show these fields

Well, there doesn't seem to be Extra Tags(Columns) in the list, am I missing something?

I like Type Ahead Find very match, it's very quick. The Live Filter Box and Quick Search will filter the list, likely only the Type Ahead Find support find while remain the list. But, when I want to find non-ascii file names, I have to use a Input Method Editor, like Microsoft Pinyin, when this turn...

And? I wrote that script to solve that specific problem. You are free to extend it or write a completely new one... I’m sorry if I offended you. Your script is useful and solved the problem. I just hope that Visual Filter can natively support this feature. Even simple string comparison is meaningfu...

Well, the script is powerfull, but not handy. What if I want to filter a date, star, and other extra columns at the same time? Yes, we can write a script for every single extra column and execute each of them in turn, but if I want to change the filter, I have to resest and execute every filter scri...

savesettings 64;

Which works fine here...

Oh, I forgot to search the api doc to find a way to save settings. Thanks.

Using script to rename file, then tag file, even if the "Save changes to disk immediately" was checked, the tag.data file will not update the tag. And, the following separete tag operation will all fail(could not update the tag.data fiile), even if it is for other files. If I want to force...

If there's a place for people to share their completed script in the XYplorer, that will be nice. These scripts are authenticated and classified, and they can be loaded directly. We can find the scripts you need according to classification or search. The Script Exchange Discussion is just a place fo...

Well, thanks for your plugin.
For a syntax highlighting plug-in, it is competent. But if there's an automatic completion function, it will be more practical.
