XYplorer Beta Club
Hello,
I've been using Powerdesk for years but have grown increasingly dissatisfied with it lately and have been looking for a replacement. I'd read great things about XYplorer for a long time, but it was Zaine Ridling's rants that excited me enough to try it out.
I have to say that I'm impressed, but there are two things that may prevent me from making the jump. The first, lack of built-in archive support, I see from the forums is a (for me, shockingly) low priority, despite many requests.
The second seems to be a bug. I make heavy use of GMail Drive, a shell extension that makes my GMail account look like a disk drive that I can store files on. In Powerdesk, Windows Explorer, and Winbrowser (a 7-year old WE replacement), the file tree shows an additional drive labeled "GMail Drive" that I can drag & drop files to & from. However, this drive doesn't appear in the XYplorer tree. Is this indeed a bug?
Whether or not I wind up buying the product, I appreciate all the great work that has gone into it and the community around it.
Thanks and best wishes,
dg

Re: GMail Drive incompatibility?
I wouldn't call it a bug -- rather a lack of support for Shell Namespace Extensions. There have been more requests for this in recent times, and I will do something about it in future. But beware: some other things will be done first.
