Re: What about library support in Windows 7 64 bit?

Not trying to feed the trolls or anything, but lack of support for libraries is a deal breaker for me. I keep all of my files in libraries. Directory Opus has had support for this for a year or more and its the only reason I am not using my XYplorer license. I know its "on the roadmap" - b...

Re: a lot of crashes undr xp

Since the Jul 8th beta release I am getting unexplained crashes as well. I cannot reproduce it - but for some reason 3 or 4 times a day with XYPlorer in the background I XYplorer crashes and has to exit. Most often this happens with XYPlorer in the background and I am browsing the web or writing a W...

Re: Dual Pane - Formal Proposal Thread

Will the catalog in a future version have the ability to open two specific panes in the Dual Pane mode? I often move/copy/compare specific sets of directories and it would be nice to click on a catalog item and have XYPlorer open them both for me.

Thanks for such an excellent product.

Re: Dual Pane - Formal Proposal Thread

Hello- I am a long time Dopus and XYPlorer user. I use XYPlorer exclusively, although I have an active license of Dopus still. One thing Dopus does is just below the TAB for the pane you are on is display the path - the beginning of the path and the end of the path (... in the middle). This line als...

Re: Dual Pane Development Period

This excellent file manager is just getting better and better. I cautiously ask what made you change your mind on Dual Pane? I say cautiously because I love the decision and don't want to "jinx" it - but after viewing a few of the threads it does leave me wondering. Thanks for a great prod...

Re: Favorites in Catalog

Figured it out myself - the list doesn't dynamically update. Adding "from favorites" does the trick.

Favorites in Catalog

Hello-

Sorry if this has been discussed, I could not find it in my search of the forums.

I have 6 folder locations marked as "Favorites" - yet in the Catalog view I only see 3. Is there a setting to see more or should I build my own catalog menu's?

Thanks for the help.

Preview custom file types

I would like the ability to add custom file viewers to XYPlorer. The way it works in DoPus is the user associates a file type with the .exe file that opens that file. The DopUs preview window simply hosts the active x component. Is this possible in XYPlorer or worthy of consideration? I would really...

List display - sort by created then type

Hello-

I would like to sort by created or modified but have all of the folders at the top of the directory list and the files below. Is there a way to force the tool to behave this way?

Preview files

When I go to preview a file, I am asked to download or open the file - like I am downloading the file from a website or something. Choosing open the the file opens the file in the XYPlorer viewer. Is this a setting on my end that is incorrect somehow? I just want the file to be viewed without being ...
