"Reset To Default Settings"

[John Hagen]

There are times when I have just plain messed up my settings within xYplorer. Usually what I have to do is uninstall, make sure everything has been deleted from the disk drive, and then reinstall. I then prove my issue has been resolved and start editing options on the config pages. Sometimes this is a lengthy and somewhat painful (to me) process.

How about adding an option to each configuration page (or section) to "Reset To Original Defaults", but just for that page/section?
-or-
Maybe just a way to highlight the settings on that page/section that have changed from their defaults?

Anything to give us a way to identify what has been changed since a clean install of xYplorer?

I have tired saving my config files, doing comparisons, etc. Sometimes I get lazy and forget to save changes, so now I can't compare. Ultimately it costs me time because of my lazieness.

Anyway, just a thought from a long time user (Date of Purchase: 2011-08-30_18-02-01_PayPal). This is the best file manager out there!

I'll say there used to be one that was the best, and that's Norton's File Navigator. I was devistated when they sold out and the new owner discontinued it. It made tape backups (Win95 days) very easy!

Thanks for a great program!!

To make a "reset" you don't actually need to make full uninstall, just find and delete the .ini file, and on next run XY will create new one with all defaults(but you'll have to insert you serial again).

Though i actually would like to have an ability to sorta "make a check in Settings screen and mark all those different to default ones" = would be very handy in make cases. But for pity i doubt this may come.
