Additional Column details. Windows Explorer has XY beat.

[Jeeves]

Simply put, XY cannot display additional file details.

XY's list of options:


-vs-

Explorer (Windows 7)'s list of available column details:


That's my wish, the ability to view more details in the detail view. I was dealing with a list of files and had to resort to using Explorer because I couldn't get the details I needed out of XY.

I don't know exactly what it is that you had to do, but I have a feeling that you could have got details using XY's property scripting command and...

Code: Select all

v8.60.0106 - 2009-11-16 21:07
  +++ Find Files: Now you can directly search for the extended 
      properties of file items, as also known from the File Info Tips. 
      Their names and indices vary strongly between different Windows 
      versions. A list is available in Configuration | File Info Tips.
      The syntax is like above with "tag:" or "comment:", only with yet 
      another field for the actual property. To identify properties by 
      their index prefix "#" to the number.
      Examples:
      - prop:fileversion:8.60 //find all items with version *8.60*
      - prop:fileversion:"8.60" // with version 8.60
      - prop:#8:Donald          // with owner *Donald*
      - prop:#26:"1024 x 768"   // with dimensions "1024 x 768"
      NOTE: While this new feature adds enormous power to XY's file 
      search, it is not extremely fast because retrieving extended 
      properties via the shell is rather slow.

It was more a method of sorting and pruning that needed to be done. Figuring out which was what, and based on the information plucking out certain files. Possibly scripted but required a bit too much human interaction to make it pleasant. Putting certain fields at the top just made it downright easy and XY couldn't access the fields I needed.

Good to hear. You're usually a step ahead or at least have a foot in the door. Any chance that XY will be able to use existing Windows shell extensions such as AudioShell or Vorbis Extension since most shell extensions are x86 code? I realize XY's implementation will definitely be different, but it's a hope ;-).

Thanks again.

If they show columns in Explorer they will do so in XY as well.

Fantastic. Can't wait.

Well. I certainly liked the *sound* of the roadmap.
