Question about Aliases

Post by Mesh »

I have a question about the Aliases feature just introduced.

Will it not cause problems that "@xxx=yyy" is a completely valid name format for files and folders?

Only if "@xxx=yyy" is a subfolder of XYplorer.exe's folder -- rather unlikely case IMO... and if you really call a subfolder of XYplorer.exe's folder "@xxx=yyy" or "@xxx" then you should not use the alias "@xxx" and all is good.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to cause conflicts.

Thanks!

It is possible to implement suggestion list (and maybe autocomplete) for aliases when typing alias in address bar?
I really miss it.

Currently only the last used aliases are suggested. But it might be an idea to suggest them all.

It would be great to have suggestion list when typing alias. Please take my vote for this feature! ;)
