XYplorer Beta Club

the more i use those features the more i'd like to have the same previously entered expression in selection filter suggested as a new name of subfolder where i'd like those files to be moved to. smartness: do not do this if time from entered filter to new folder creation is greater than 2 minutes.

latest beta has a very tiny box to enter name for 'move here to new subfolder', please, please, please enlarge it...

1. hm

2. huh? you mean it got smaller? I don't think so. and I think it's big enough.

1. it would save a lot of typing and makes total sense on the work flow, which is the coolest thing on xyplorer. better: add it as a primary item on a small list of suggestions for the 'move to subfolder' dialog.

2. certainly not when it comes to large file names whose first part will be used as the name of the folder to be created.

Can you give examples for both?

sure.

1. i invoke the selection filter and type 'striped' so i get files like 'food-beverage-yellow-black-striped-grunge-construction-icon-full-set.zip'
and 'food-beverage-green-black-striped-grunge-construction-icon-full-set.zip', selected. now when i press 'move to subfolder' cks i'd like to have
'Striped' (taken from seletion filter mru; recase: title would be great, here!) as my first suggestion, then default others listed too ('new folder', current date style 1, current date style 2,
name of the last selected item).

2. for 'food-beverage-yellow-black-striped-grunge-construction-icon-full-set.zip'
the suggestion is 'ge-construction-icon-full-set' so i have to press home and see 'food-beverage' which is what i want.
if i had a greater portion visible i could decide that the file should fall in a 'icon\food-beverage' structure.
as it is i am regularly having to check sub folders just to realize i moved them mistakenly only because i am not seeing
a greater, perhaps the whole original file name so i could make a proper decision.

1. hmm, seems to be a very special usage. Anybody else would need this?
2. "food-beverage-yellow-black-striped-grunge-construction-icon-full-set.zip" fits easily in that box here. What are your display settings? Screen DPI more than 96?

The friend who told me about this program told me about this discussion as I told her one day how bad I miss a feature like this. Every day. Working with lloads of pictures I always wished for something like this so count me in please. And thanks for such an awesome program, I don't know how could I live wihtout the "move here with path" now...........

Ok.

hey, thanks a bunch for the change made re the integration suggestion. it's beyond words how useful this is. what about the capitalization fix?

'move to subfolder' suggestion could be made upper capital.

any chance the box being fixed to what it was prior to 11.70.0003?

got it.

v11.00.0001 - 2012-04-27 20:00 -- + Various input dialogs, e.g. "Batch Rename" or "Set Visual Filter":
The "Tips" button (F1) now has a right-click menu with one toggle
"Show Tips by Default". Tick it to always auto-show the Tips when
the dialog is opened. The setting is stored between sessions and
applies globally to all such dialogs.

this may be related to 'InputShowTipsByDefault=', which set '1' after 11.70.003 causes the problem to happen.
