Interface queries

I'm evaluating XYplorer and am close to forking out for a licence. Before I do so, I have a couple of interface queries:

1. Is there any way to increase line spacing in details view? I like to use Segoe UI at 9 point but this results in items being too tightly spaced.

2. Windows Explorer on Vista shows the root of the user's folder and the Public folder in the folder tree, but XYplorer shows only the Documents folder. Is there any way to duplicate the behaviour of Windows Explorer?

Thanks and regards

MM

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

About question #1: Check out this wiki page --- http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/Row_Height
Does that help?

I'm not a Vista user and thus don't want to give wrong answer to #2.

Yup, that answers my question about row heights. Many thanks!

Incidentally I get a similar effect to Explorer if I increase list row height by 2 pixels, but the XYwiki states that both XYplorer and Explorer default to 17 pixels. Perhaps that's XP Explorer, not Vista Explorer.

No, currently not. But in a future version I pan to allow you to show any folder you like directly under the tree root.

For the time being you can use for example the Catalog for quick access to that folder.
