XYplorer Beta Club

I am trying to make a "show all files in the current branch" search template. My favourite DOS-based file manager XTree Gold could do this and I am trying to mimic it in XY. The only trouble I'm having is reverting the tab back to the way it was before (that and I'd love to be able to assi...

The total path length will be something like 255 or so chars. Once you start with "c:\documents and settings\....blah blah blah" you don't need a very long file name to blow the whole lot out to 255, especially if you have a lot of nested folders like I do. That's what you get for being so...

A quick question about the find files function. I'm sorry if this info is available elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Anyways, here goes... If I do a “find files” which puts the results into the current tab, how do I "undo" the search (ie revert the list view within the tab bac...

I have a file (word doc actually) with a rather long name (about 160+ chars) on an NTFS partition on XP SP2. XY cannot move, copy or rename it. Each fails with the message "Cannot move/copy/rename file: " (note that nothing appears after the ‘:’ in the message). While I can see the file’s ...

Update: This also occurs with new files as well (ie not just folders).

However, if you leave the folder and then come back to it, the date column then autosizes correctly.

This is no biggie but... Creating a new folder (either by Ctrl-N or the toolbar button) doesn’t always autosize the date columns, specifically the modified date column (I haven’t checked the others). To reproduce, find/create a folder with files in it that have relatively narrow dates (eg 01-Jul-200...

What I meant by wildcarding is the ability that the SF has to select rows based on part of a name with no wildcards. eg Files: file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt fred1.txt For the SF I just type 'fred' and I get 'fred1.txt' selected and nothing else. Note no wildcards used. As for the column-wise VF. Wel...

Why does the visual filter not have the same capabilities (column-wise filtering and wildcarding) as the selection filter? I would like to see the visual filter gain the same super powers if possible.

Keep up the good work!

I've just been checking out the new beta. Works like a charm

Thnx
Keep up the good work!

I really like this feature and I have been using it a lot. I have a couple of wishes (of course): Wish 1: When I click on the ellipsis button to browse to a new folder, the starting folder in the folder requester is always “My Computer”. Can this be changed to the folder that is selected in the dial...

Yeah, I meant that I was literally clicking on the subfolder's name in the list view... Cool. Now I understand what is going on. I must have been having a blond moment not to get it before :) Thnx jacky. About the F5 thing though, pressing F5 does remove the all folder sizes except for a subfolder w...

The new beta looks good. Three things: 1. When I click on a subfolder's name, the size is filled in but the column is not autosized. I love my autosize :) 2. I have Configuation->General->Show folder sizes in file list turned off. Should the folder's size be filled in in this case? :? 3. If I sort t...

I love the Calculate folder size toolbar button and find it very useful. However, when I use the function on a folder, the list view does seem to autoresize. To reproduce: Pick a folder with at least one subfolder with a short name but also which includes files of reasonable size. Click the Calculat...

I've found an interesting cut n paste thing. Note that I have View->List Style->Full row select and View->List Style->Highlight focused row turned on. 1. Cut file A from folder A in tab A. 2. Switch to tab B which is targeted on folder B. Folder B has (in this case) 2 files within it. The top file i...
