XY 6.60.0030, XP SP2

When you select multiple items and press Alt-Enter, the properties window shows only properties of focused file instead of multi-file statistics.

Same, actually, goes with Properties tab, although I think showing properties of multiple items there would be a new feature

Since it's my first message, I'd like to dearly thank you for this sleek, powerful and extremely well designed tool. Being a developer myself I know how hard it is to make something look simple and clean but having do what you want with minimal effort.

Thank you, and welcome to the club!

You get multiple items properties when you use the properties command in the items' context menu.

Alt-Enter indeed only shows the properties of the focused file. I never worked out how to call this thing for many files...

Is it possible to make propeties of many folders appear in properties tab of info panel?
Or a CKS for mimicking the context menu?

If you have some time to invest into this issue, here is a piece of code that I found on the Net that shows multi-file properties dialog. It's in Delphi, which is pretty close to VB (you write XY in VB, right?)

Not "pretty close" enough at first sight, but thanks, I'll find a way.

I meant, closer than C++, which I use, anyway.

Here are some explanations that might help:

The '^' character means a pointer if it's before type name and "value pointed to" if it's after the variable name (I think...), TStrings is just a class with list of strings, OleCheck() is a simple way to trow exception if COM call fails, var Malloc:IMalloc; means Dim Malloc As IMalloc, Pointer(Result) means typecast of function return value into a pointer. Result is a reserved word for function result.

That's what comes to mind, tell if you need some more...

Thanks. I tried it but failed. Just wanted to let you know. I have to give it a low priority and spend my time on other things now.
