No, I did not change anything concerning mapped drives.

Indeed. Do you still have the previous version to compare speed?

Well I won't say it hurts, but I thought it was nice when selecting files, and then you want to open only one cause you're not sure what it is, you wanna check you're not mistaken, whatever, just open that one file without loosing the selection.
I'd say if it can be back I'd like it, but if it's too much trouble then don't, we can live without ;)

    + When Network Neighborhood is selected, the list view is now filled 
      with the connected servers, just as you would expect. This one was 
      on my to-do list for more than 5 years ;)

Before that's what Enter would do, while right-click/open would open all the selected files.

Code: Select all

    * Now you can open all currently selected files at once by simply 
      pressing Enter.
      You can as well open selected files when a non- selected file is 
      focused, i.e. when the focus rect is positioned at a non-selected 
      file (was not allowed before).
Bit confused with this. :roll: Let's say there are 3 files: 1, 2 and 3. And I select 1 & 2 and 3 has the focus (focused row)
Enter -> opens 1 and 2
File/Open -> opens 1 & 2
right click on 1 or 2/Open -> opens 1 & 2

Now I select 1 & 2 and 2 has the focus (focused row)
Enter -> opens 1 and 2
File/Open -> open 1 & 2
right click on 1 or 2/Open -> opens 1 & 2

I'm guessing this is exactly what you wanted to do, but is there still a way to open only the focused file (at least, if he's selected too)??

    * Menu File: added commands Open, Delete, and Rename. The Open 
      command applies only to (currently selected) items in the file list.
    * Now you can open all currently selected files at once by simply 
      pressing Enter.
      You can as well open selected files when a non- selected file is 
      focused, i.e. when the focus rect is positioned at a non-selected 
      file (was not allowed before).
      If exactly one folder is selected, <Enter> will open that folder in 
      XYplorer. If more than one folder is selected, <Enter> will open 
      those folders with the associated program (usually Explorer).
    ! Open menu File, close it, add new Favorite, open menu File again: 
      crash (error 360)! Fixed.
    + List view: by holding down CTRL while drag-selecting you can 
      select another group of files, and another, and another...

An excellent program, Donald. I've used it almost from the beginning. I know of no other program, free or not, that the author works on and updates almost daily. Each release is better than the last. Keep up the good work. I do have one small request though. The only feature that seems to be missing in XYplorer is the "Simple Folder View" introduced with WinXP in Window's Explorer. Where you click on a folder in the tree and it automatically expands that folder's branch. It's one of the big improvements in Window's Explorer IMHO. Could you make XYplorer do the same? It would be a big improvement.
BTW...Congratulations on making the Pricelessware 2006 list.
