autocomplete files in the address bar
autocomplete files in the address bar
Once again, I dunno if this already exists somewhere as an option; just cause I couldn't find it doesn't mean it doesn't. But I just noticed another thing Explorer and Explorer++ both do, that I've gotten quite used to and will miss the lack of in xy: in the address bar, if you type something in, they both populate the dropdown with first a list of all the directories that start with what you typed, followed by all the files. xyplorer only has the directories. (I've come to use it as a useful quick "does this file already exist in this directory" check. Yes, I know I could hit f3 and type stuff, but you don't always know how many characters you'll need to get rid of unrelated files, and anyway, I'm used to it.)

Re: autocomplete files in the address bar
If the file exists the Address Bar will show its icon. Voila, there is your test.neminem wrote:I've come to use it as a useful quick "does this file already exist in this directory" check.
But I'll add a tweak to show files as well.

Re: autocomplete files in the address bar
Awesome! Just grabbed the beta, this tweak seems to be working admirably.

Huh. I just noticed that somewhere along the way, this tweak seems to have stopped working? Any chance we could get it back? >.>
Re: autocomplete files in the address bar
It is already elevated to Configuration level. Change Configuration/Controls and More/Auto-complete Path Names/Address Bar/Filter to "Files and Folders" or "Files only" according to your need.neminem wrote:Huh.

Re: autocomplete files in the address bar
Aha. That makes sense then, no longer works as a tweak cause it got moved elsewhere. Probably should've read the tweak value into the config value when that was added, but anyway, thanks. It's back to the way I like it now.
