I could be missing something...but is there a way to quickly add a comment (Keyboard Shortcut, Edit Inline or Button)? At the moment I am Clicking;
Favourite > Comment
to comment on the file.
Thanks.

I do have the comments visible. I cannot click inside to add one, unless I am doing something wrong.

If you are using pro version of XY, you could also add comment from addressbar.
Eg: Type ::comment toprint; in addressbar to comment your files with toprint.

Yes that works quite nice. Thanks.
I was trying a button using;
tag "test", , 2;
but found no way to bring the comment dialog up, so was only suitable for a static word. So that was not satisfactory. Out of interest is there any way of bring the dialog box up with a script command?

A lot of XYplorer's functionality is only accessible by its command ID, a list of which can be generated through Help > Make List Of Commands. This will copy said list to the clipboard; by pasting in Notepad and searching for the command you're looking for, you'll find the corresponding command ID.

::comment still works but is officially

1. You can right-click the comment column in the file list and get a context menu for adding/editing comments.
2. In one of the next version you'll get an additional tab on the Info Panel to add labels, tags, and comments.
