Undo file operation - copy/move/rename/etc

Post by nuit »

Would it be possible to give emphasis to enabling XYplorer to have an Undo feature, like Windows Explorer, so that file copies, moves, renames, deletes, etc. can be undone/reversed, please?

I find this feature very convenient and productive especially when the hands (fingers) are quicker than the eye.

From experience with Explorer, something else than Ctrl-Z would be a safer route to inadvertently avoiding an undo.

Thanks!

Must be the topic of the day to talk about undo!
See http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=2299
Another new user just asked the same basic question and Don replied there....which is...it's "on the list".
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

yes and one that is on the roadmap, at one time I thought it would beat scripting to release.

I agree with the requirement but hope it is better than the WE version which is inadequate to undo certain situations

Please implement a simple undo undo option for renaming files or directories by mistake. It must not be so sophisticated implemented as described in http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?p=7511#p7511 . Just a little "undo" for renaming operations. This could be enough for most users and personally I need it more than a dual pane or sripting features. (BTW It seems to me that this request exists since 2006?)

Thanks in advance,

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

good that you mention it! Actually Undo is the next big thing! I will soon take a time-out similar to the one I took when implementing Dual Pane. When I'm back you have Undo.
