Meta Data for detail columns

My program adds meta data to MS Word docs for the following items: Authors, Subject, Title, Comments, Company, Categories
In explorer I only have to rt click the detail column to add them and the meta data for the file is displayed
X-YPlorer doesn't have these items. Is there a way to add them?

I added a property sheet viewer to widows explorer. When I look at the file's properties the sheet viewer adds a tab to allow me to examine and change the file times (Created, Modified, Accessed). X-YPlorer doesn't have this tab. Is there a way to add it?
Does X-YPlorer support property sheet viewers?

Main menu -> View -> Columns -> Add Column. A new (Undefined) column will be added. Right-click on it, choose "Select Property" and pick one you need. Repeat for other meta.

Nice typo :titter:
As for your second question, if you have the info panel and the properties tab displayed which shows all the file's dates, just click on one to change it.
The scripting command timestamp allows to meet even special wishes in this regard.

If you mean shell extensions that add custom content to the "Properties" dialog, then yes.
I don't have any 64-bit ones, but if you do and don't see them where they should be, maybe you need to open the 64-bit Properties window: context menu -> show 64-bit context menu -> Properties. [if you have this option]
