32 Buttons!

[aurumdigitus]

Another one that's got by me. When was the number of user buttons bumped up to 32?

Don't remember reading about the increase anywhere.

Was reading ready to Wish for more and when clearing a newly defrocked button there they were.

Oh, okay. Almost three years ago to the day.

Sorry for my tactless reply. Actually I was surprised myself. It felt like only 2 years.

Along with it's fabulous scripting capabilities, the user buttons are XYplorer's best feature IMO!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them It's great to have so many available, and I know the subject has been raised in the past, but is that number likely to be increased in the future? Or could you even make the standard buttons customisable? 32 user buttons is a lot but, for myself anyway, at least half of my user buttons are actually customised versions of standard buttons (eg: new folder, delete, move up, move to, copy to, add tags, remove tags). I have only 5 user buttons left now and a heap of the standard buttons not being used. Either way, please please please more buttons!!!!

Just out of curiosity, why did you pick maximum of 32 buttons? Why can't you just allow us to make 9999 buttons? OVER 9000!

I like fat-reduced file managers.

Excuse me for saying, but ???????????????????????????????? That doesn't really seem like much of an answer - to either mine or Enternal's questions.

It's the economy, baby. Speed, memory... you know.

For memory you could make a 64bit version

sorry, really kidding

Ah yes, I understand. But would speed and memory still be an issue if the standard buttons were customisable? As I said, at least half of my user buttons are actually customised versions of standard buttons. If I could customise those I would then have more user buttons available. Or is there any way that extra buttons could be available for those who aren't so concerned with speed and memory?
