Here's the new BETA (32-bit)

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.

That's what Explorer does, I know. But do you really want to copy a drive to a folder? It feels funny...

I don't But I know some people might wanna do that to "backup" a data drive or something....

There are so many other ways to do this in XY.. I'll wait until 2 folks cry for it

Drives cannot be copied, only their contents.

Well you could just create a directory like "Label (Drive D)"
But yeah I see what you mean....

...why do you disable to whole thing for drives (C:\, D:\ and such), why not do like for the Desktop & disabled only Move ?

Menus Move/Copy/Backup To: better en/disabling depending on current selections and focus.

Works well:)

I see you've update a bit, but why do you disable to whole thing for drives (C:\, D:\ and such), why not do like for the Desktop & disabled only Move ?

    * Menus Move/Copy/Backup To: better en/disabling depending on 
      current selections and focus.
    + The tray icon (after minimizing to tray) now has a little right-
      click menu.

Code: Select all

    * Tree and List Item Context menu: added submenu "Move/Copy/Backup 
      To", under which "Move To", "Copy To" and "Backup To" are now 
      subsumed.

Why didn't you add the same submenu to the file menu as well to keep it consistent?
Wouldn't hurt in MHO.

Yes, of course I thought about it. But I figured: there's enough space in the file menu, so why not have them one level nearer here? But maybe the inconsistency is disturbing some innocent users...? Hmm...

BTW, just found out that Explorer's tree is buggy with the icons sometimes: shows green when it should be red and so on. So, XY has beaten Explorer also with overlay icons

Cool. There's not much left to beat Explorer on now. Is there anything left?

Great, /me likes that Thanks

But for me the menuitems in the File menu are always disabled, no matter what. (I don't use them, but...)
BTW I see you've hide thoose when right-clicking on a root. Nice, but why not just disabling "Move To"; as one might wanna use the other two...
Oh and they show up on the Desktop, not sure if they should be.
Oh and last, but not least, I really like it

woohoo! The icon overlays work splendidly! This app gets better every day (and not just from overlays)
Thanks!

Download the latest XYplorer BETA version (v4.40.0016, 06-dec-2005).

    * Tree and List Item Context menu: added submenu "Move/Copy/Backup 
      To", under which "Move To", "Copy To" and "Backup To" are now 
      subsumed.
      The three menus are as well to be found under menu File. If using 
      these menus, the objects of the respective file operations are 
      determined by the current focus: If the folder tree is focused, 
      the current tree folder will be moved/copied/backupped. Else the 
      currently selected file list items will be moved/copied/backupped.
    ! Icon overlays: fixed several glitches.
    * Preview of Office files: Office does not always like its currently 
      used files to be opened by other apps. From now on XY will display a 
      message instead: "Office file is currently opened by another 
      application."
