Re: Custom Columns
Concerning your 3rd idea, XY already has a tweak for that.
Sorry - can't locate which one, right now.

Welcome to the club, Dave!SFXAudio wrote:-Sample Rate (for audio files, like .wav, .mp3, .flac, etc...)
-Audio bit depth - the current bit depth in the select property screen doesn't work on audio (maybe it's for images only?)
-Audio channels - there doesn't seem to be an option for this in the select property window.
The Select Property list should show everything available on your system. If Explorer can show that column then it should be listed in that list. No need for scripting.

Re: Custom Columns
Why in the changelog ( http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 13#p100913 ) an excessive emphasis is put on the slowness of Custom Columns? I mean, I understand that you, Don, want to be honest, but this isn't good marketing. Browsing with CCs isn't (noticeably) slower than browsing in WE with an analogous configuration (I can think of music folders where ID tags are read and shown). And I'm using a 3-yo i5 notebook with a 5400rpm HD, certainly nothing super-powerful.
Also, why the 5 columns limit? What if someone needed more? I can think of, again, folders containing mp3s: you could sort by Album, Year, Artist, Track, Length, Bitrate, Composer,... If someone doesn't care about performances but wants as much info as he can get, why such limit?

2. Truth can be ok, even in marketing.
3. They *are* notably slower here.

4. I like limits. But in fact I might go up to 7 columns... In a later version I will provide ways to show all the shell columns you want at once (but not as configurable Custom Columns).

Re: Custom Columns
I understand. I just think it would be a pity if users out there in the internetz, who might be reading about the development of XY, see the changelog and assume that CCs are slow because "hey, the developer says so" and get a negative idea of the whole XY. Slowness/speed heavily depends on the system config, at least here.

Re: Custom Columns
Ok, I'll take care.
Anybody else thinks 7 columns is better than 5?

Re: Custom Columns
Seven simply is a better number. See, its page on wikipedia is longer than the one about five

I think it should be based on the version of Windows.admin wrote:Anybody else thinks 7 columns is better than 5?
Windows 7 = 7 columns.
Windows 8 = 8 columns.
Server 2012 = You guessed it! 2012 columns.
To be honest... if you're going to make it possible to add many shell columns outside of CC, then I'm inclined to say you should eliminate the 'Property' type entirely, add an ET type to CCs (thus merging Extra Columns into CC), and up the number to ten Custom/Extra Columns.
It seems dumb to push us down the path of using CCs for shell properties only to replace that with the ability to add shell columns at which point there'd be two ways to accomplish the same thing increasing the feeling of bloat.

And, CC and ET are totally different on so many levels, it's good to keep them apart.

Re: Custom Columns
Unfortunately MSFT, in all their wisdom, removed a bunch of the audio column functionality when going from Win XP to Win 7.admin wrote:The Select Property list should show everything available on your system.

I think that's the reason why I'm not seeing the below parameters listed in the Select Property List.
-Audio Sample Rate
-Audio bit depth (the current "Bit Depth" option doesn't seem to be audio bit depth)
-Audio channels
These params are, however, displayed on the preview pane when clicking a single file, so there's gotta be a way to get them to display in columns...
Is there a custom column script I can use to display them? I'm working with uncompressed PCM .wav's right now.
