Well, still you may trade this against another secret from yours hehe

Maybe you could kindly ask the author of Xplorer2 ? Or am I optimistic ?

Hi,

let me ask you one thing: what exactly are you doing after which you expect the new files on the bottom of the list? I mean: which command do you use on which item(s)?

Sorry I missed your answer !

Mainly those are new files created by 3rd party app.. there are many scenarios for this, and I'd like to be able to see them all at once in a block, at the bottom of the monitored folder (like XP explorer). As an example: new downloads, lost in a +50 files folder, which I need to sort before they get reordered and I can't remember what I downloaded.

I see. Well, currently not planned.

BTW, I know now how this could be done. Question: Do you ever have the case that items are added AND other items are removed from the list at the same time by a 3rd party app. I wonder how this is/would/should be handled?

Now that's good news
Hope it will reach your roadmap list soon !

Well, I guess removed items are (and should be) removed, and added items (should not) act the same ?

Guess... I'd like to know the facts. Just curious how the others do it...

hehe sure, just tried, was monitoring a dir, few files removed and few added, it acted the way I guessed, removed/refresh, and ordered the new ones

You mean the new ones were NOT appended but ordered (like in XY now)?

huh, you meant via standard explorer.. ok tried again and via WE it acts as it should:
files are removed, and new ones goes at the bottom.

Okay, and now: If old files get renamed and new files are added at the same time? (last question, promise)

both renamed and added went to the bottom !

lastnikita wrote:both renamed and added went to the bottom !

Aha! I wonder of you could fool that system by a swap rename (can be done with XYplorer in menu File). Does it recognize the rename (although all filenames in the list are identical!) and move the 2 renamed files to the bottom, or not? (sorry, another question...)

swap names ?

under XY, files don't move (but names do).
under WE, files take each other place (so names 'don't move').

about rename
executed in WE, stays its old place in WE, immediatly sorted in XY
excuted in XY, file stay its place in XY, goes to the bottom in WE

Thanks. Whenever I decide to do this, I'll come back to this thread.

Hello,

I know this is a very old topic, but i wonder if you could reconsider to implement
this feature. I come from xplorer2 background and i find this shortage very annoying.
