@Don:
1) is it possible to add some default stuff like office doument, bitmap etc here?

I don't think it is a feasible solution.
For example in my New submenu I create new .docx or .xlsx documents. And other such "custom" formats. Don could put a predefined empty .doc file with his name embedded there with the Word version he has at hand. You get the idea.

Much more useful to have the shell's New menu there.

By the way the newest addition of Shift+Enter in the Address bar is a great one!

i am sorry, i meant something like what the new catalog has. It has examples of how to use catalog. Right now default XY has nothing in New Items and Newbie has to wonder what it is.
In the catalog of freshly installed XY, user can start playing with catalog already, without reading any manuals in the first place. I was only suggesting something like that in "New Items" folder. Also, it wouldn't hurt if user was taken to that folder from within context menu. Just a quick thought.

I agree here!
It took me about half an hour until I found how to add elements there. I should have checked the XYwiki first but I had a search in options, in internet, maybe not in the help since I don't want to install HLP support..
Anyway, I think this is a small flaw.

Here's the cool way to find information: goto http://www.xyplorer.com/features.php, look up your keyword, and follow the blue arrows... :)
