Drag-Drop-Folder-Open + New Icon of XYplorer

Post by Hugo »

1) the automatically opening of folders nervs in drag-drop-actions

Solution: A new option:
Open folders automatically while drag-drop-actions:
[o] yes
[o] no


---------------------------------------------

2) In my windows bars the XYplorer-icon is black, but when the program is started, a red one in the XYplorer-app. I like the black much more.

Solution 1: A new option:
Icon of XYplorer, while it is runnng:
[o] black
(o) red
(o) blue


Solution 2: a special file in the app's folder
When XYplorer starts, XYplorer searches an special icons-file (for example: xyplorer.ico) and loads its icons into the XYplorer-app.

1) Yes, that should be customizable. I'll add a tweak to the next beta. It will be an UI setting later.

2) Check out the scripting command appicon. It's featured in the help file of the next beta version.

Perhaps for the most users the scripting is overloaded, because it is too much to learn.

A special behavier for a few options can be a good plus for the XYplorer. The users would have one way more to a target:
options, scripting and (as the plus:) special-files. :idea:

The icon-loading can be made with just one line of code at the start of the XYplorer:
if FileExist(xyplorer.ico) then App.Icon.LoadFromFile(xyplorer.ico)

------------------------------------
other possibilities:
Sound-files (appStart.wav, appEnd.wav, overwrite-message.wav, and so on)
Script-files (appStart.script, appEnd.script, xyplorer.script, default.script, and so on)
An own picture for the splash-screen (xyplorer.bmp, xyplorer.jpg)

That is much for now. Perhaps later you will like this idea.
