List pane columns...

[djb]

Sorry, noob questions here... (related to Windows/NTFS)

Q: Can the LIST pane somehow be configured to include an OWNER column (similar to
the OWNER: row of what you see when you have the FILE | Metadata box up [Shift-Enter]?
Or can this be scripted somehow? (I haven't explored any scripting as of yet, so I dont have
any concept of what's feasible).

Q: Can the LIST pane include some kind of boolean indicator denoting that the NTFS file
has ALTERNATE DATA STREAMS attached to it? (I dont think I need XY to enumerate them,
although that would be a tremendous help. Merely to note that the file Does/Doesn't have
any ADS data, so I can see what's squirreled away in them)

(Im loving everything I see in XY during my 30-day eval, btw. Sorry if some might
categorize these as WISH list requests. For those that are overwhelmed by the
rich features of XY, its easy to drown in the help. I didnt find anything in help under
OWNER, or ADS (or permutations). But I can hardly believe that I'm the first to
desire these features. They might be in there somewhere, but I just don't know the
lingo to search for)

[EDIT] Oh, and a TREE pane question...
Q: can the disk LETTER be moved to the LEFT of the descriptions of the drives, so
I can 'skinny' the tree pane, so I see JUST the drive letters. I can widen it if I want
to see the mappings again. I more or less just use the skinny left pane to make
list panes nav to new disk letters. (more like a button bar than a CTreeCtrl)
I have 20 network drives to maintain, and putting them in the toolbar consumes
50% of the toolbar.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

Ok ,so this idea may not be ideal solution -but- have you tried using the Drives TB button as alternate? It would require an extra click to open the dropdown -but- would only take up one slot on TB row.

Welcome dave,

alas, two times no: It's all planned but not yet real.

Concerning the drives: There is a registry setting ShowDriveLettersFirst where you can set this system wide.

thanks, j_c_hallgren
That looks promising. I monkeyed around with the customizable toolbar buttons, and
got what you suggested to work (somewhat -- but then I lost it, I expect because Im still
using the trial version)

(TIL that Lego is the latin word for "I read..." - and here I thought lego was invented by the danes)

-Thanks Don. Good for the back pocket.. but for now, Im a scriptin fool...

Btw: the full key is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ ShowDriveLettersFirst ", and it must be a (DWORD) 4.
