No use having items only on the toolbar - I never use it. I assume that will change later.
I can't see which is the active pane - how is it distinguished? You say "also providing a better way to mark the active pane" but I can't see any marking of the active pane at the moment. I assume the fact that the focused item is greyed out is how you are doing it - not much use if the focused item is not visible.
How do I switch between panes - don't tell me the rat or I'll scream!!! I understood that there would be a keystroke even if it was not the standard Tab key.
No pane header, don't you intend to have one?? If not, without flexible tabs then it's impossible to see the path of the inactive pane with more than a few tabs open (even on my 1920 x 1200 display).
What's the first / second / both panes flexible? I can't see any difference. I don't have the tree active so is it something to do with that?
There is, obviously, no means of copying to the inactive pane. Remember, I'm a keyboard user so "drag-and-drop" is of no use.
Can't drag splitter completely to right / left so can't maximise the pane other than switching to single pane.
Switching to single pane always defaults to the left pane, not the active pane.
Select an item in the left pane - status bar shows it as a document and gives the name. Switch to an item in the right pane, it's a jpeg file and is shown as such in the status bar. Switch back to the already focused item in the left pane, only on icon is shown and no file name. Back to the right pane (focused item) and now only the icon is shown - no name.
I don't like the active drag of the splitter, visually distracting with many tabs open which keep changing. I much prefer only the splitter bar to move then, when the mouse button is released, the split happens.
Major problem - the inactive pane does not update on file changes. I'm watching some files that are being sent to me, in x² as the file arrives the list is updated even though neither the pane or x² are active. In XY the inactive pane is "frozen".
Sorry, Don, but first reaction it that it's a "non-starter" for me. I can't even begin to try to use it.
