Well, since I just forked over my entire life saving (just kidding) to pay for this excellent program, I am going to create my wish list for this app:

1. Better Copy/Move/Transfer features. These images are from Copy Handler and their is Source Code available:
Main:


Context:


Small Status Window:


Other images:
Buffer Window
Custom Window
Filter Window

2. Compare folders

3. Index service or as an add on

4. Auto hide features, their are 4 tabs on the right of the image, The one visible is the QuickView tab. Of course you can pin it to:


Like to here more opinions on these ideas if any one things they are really viable?

Well, most of them are already posted here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=830

Allow me not to spend my time looking up other app's features.

So, what is this? And what's so great about it?

The Windows taskbar and Google desktop sidebar are other examples.

Basically just add a timer to the Show/Hide Navigation Panel action so that when the panel isn't in use for a certain amount of time it hides.

Then you also add a small hover zone (similar to dragging and dropping to other tabs) so that when the mouse is held at the edge that displays the panel for some time it automatically displays.

It frees up the space for the list. Or if you got crazy and implemented it for the tree/catalog within the panel as well then you could more easily (hover vs hotkey or taskbar button) switch between seeing the whole tree and seeing the tree and catalog. It would need to be optional in all cases.


Another option would be to improve the click events on the splitters. A double click on the Nav panel splitter would reduce it to a small bar (could just be the splitter) on the left. A double click on that small bar would return it to its previous size. Same with the catalog, which kind of does this but doesn't work like I'd expect (there's no way to restore the size, it's either maximize catalog or tree, and I find the shrinking to the minimum scrollbar size is just ugly). For consistency you could make them function just like right and left clicks on the status bar.

Thanks for the info and the ideas. These are valuable options. Later...
