Coordinates... yeah :)

I also think XYplorer/Xyplorer is not too hard to remember, neighboring letters... plus the old plorer. (By the way: the etymologic lexicon says that the "plore" in explore originally referred to hunting cries!)

I still like iksplorer and yxplorer as well, but they don't work in the auditive channel.

I don't like iksplorer that mutch. yxplorer "seems" a little easyer on the eyes 8) . But if i had to choose, i'd go for XYplorer.
But that's just me....
Software: should we be aware because it's soft ? I like to think not !

How would you pronounce it when you are forced to say it aloud?

In German ksiplorer or ksüplorer.

If asked for the "official" pronounciation I would say: [ksiplorer]. English speakers think "sexyplorer" to get the sound right :wink:

If it's not too late, I think XYplorer rather than Xyplorer, don't forget there is already an XPlorer & xplorer² (these have already been confused). I also think it makes it sound better (at least in English). XYplorer rather forces me to say X Y plorer where as Xyplorer I would pronounce as ziplorer.

I see the new web site is up and running.

Absolutely! As you see on http://www.xyplorer.com/ I'm already focusing on the XY. Last not least XY are also the male chromosomes... :wink:

So it's gonna be XYplorer (friends just call it XY). And nobody will confuse it because it's the only file manager with a big Y ("Why"? :lol: )!

Hi Donald

Just made myself and you an x-mas present and finally registered my copy of XYplorer.

There's still the name TrackerV3 in the mail with the license code:
Thanks for using TrackerV3.
Thanks for the good work so far, keep going.

Wishing you a merry X-mas.
Ralph :)
