XYplorer Beta Club
I would love to see the possibility to cach the file names, dates, size, modified, created, accessed and attr for a whole drive, togheter with the possibility to search through these cached files that the user just opened (after a save cached files).
For the moment i use Cathy, but the possibility to search for something is very limited. And another program is much to slow, i tried many in the past and i didn't like any of them, all of them where just to slow, Cathy is lightning fast so i use that, but i am limited with the search functions.
Now if that could be possible with xyplorer that would be great, just a simple function but a great time saver. I have multiple external hard drives, at the moment 8 if i'm not mistaken. Mostly they are all off, and when needed only one is on, i do that for multiple reasons, 1 reason is to save power, another reason is when something happens with that power, not all data is gone, and the backups are always save from power failures, and also to keep the temperature lower.
Cathy would be one of the best very small freeware programs if the search possibilities where not so limited. So what i would love to see is saving the file list to a cache file and load that cached drive when needed, and when the drive is connected, make it possible to work the same way as usual, when the drive is not connected just show a red text line "Drive not connected" and just make it possible to use all search possibilities within xyplorer.
The big other thing i'm waiting for: Synchronising! Over the years i didn't find any great synchronising program that fits me, or it works to slow, or the program is great, has lifetime free upgrades... BUT... it needs to be activated for the license to be active. Wel, i don't buy that kind of programs no matter how good they are, i keep that limited to the operating system (windows) and maybe 3 other very important programs to the max. I had enough trouble with that kind of programs in the past, i'm not that stupid anymore these days :p. From not being able to activate it anymore after a reformat because i had pc problems through a copy protected cd that really broke my cd-rom, and i'm not kidding here, it realy happened to me. The protection was called Starforce, the company i bought the cd from did not take it serious, but they removed the name "Starforce" in all there support pages to make their future customers blind, that's how i see it.
But i'm happy that i learned from those experiences, i save money now with staying only with the more useful programs, easy to use, and look for the great programs, when it's possible, small, fast working and just do what i need, and when possible, with lifetime free upgrades (i have many of those
), xyplorer is the best, why? because i use it every day and it takes many hours of work to to a few minutes, one of those is the great and very fast search. Now if xyplorer could do this with cached filenames and information that would be a great update. If it could synchronise 2 or when possible even more folders, but keep it easy but very powerful (like on two columns, vertical row between the two columns, with on every line (file) 3 little buttons, 1 button to just synchronise it, another button to synchronise only to the left side, and another button to only synchronise to the right. At the top a row with thesame buttons for the standard function, and the other rows are for overriding the setting for a seperate file. Just as simple as that, with maybe a few powerful settings to make the whole proces even easier and faster to synchronise everything as it should be.Sorry for making this so long, but is been a while since i left a message in here
