Xyplorer edit filename 64 Bit#

Just so no one gets the wrong impression from NyaR: XYplorer is unfortunately NOT YET a 64 bit application, but that IS planned for near future so while it works just great on 64 bit systems (based on XY forum) and provide many features lacking in the basic Win Explorer, it also can't be said that it fully supports that OS yet. This is not really a review but rather follow-up and clarification to a comment made by NyaR in his Feb 12th posting and some remarks about prior reviews: It has already earned back its (extremely modest cost) many times over. Almost every time I use it, I discover new features that are useful, features I didn't even know it has. Having finally gotten fed up, I did a lot of research on line in search of an alternative XYplorer was one of a handful of packages I decided to try.It only took a day or two of testing to decide that XYplorer is so good that I had no need to even try any of the other options I downloaded. But for some reason, over the years, as the designers of this produce modified and issued new releases of, they’ve screwed it up in a variety of ways: removed some useful features, added some whose purpose seems inscrutable,introduced bugs and irritating reminders that pop up to not purpose, embedded in it mechanisms for upgrades and to ensure that it’s used on only one machine-mechanisms that malfunction more often than they should (that is, more often than never). Many years ago I switched to an alternative shareware file manager which was a vast improvement in every respect over Explorer. Worse, it lacks several obviously important features.

Windows Explorer has never been particularly well-designed it’s dorky and awkward to use. I could get it doing moderately complicated file-management tasks in a very short period of time. It does have an awful lot of features but because it's so well designed, users can just ignore features they don't need at the moment and/or don't want to bother learning about.

That documentation, by the way, is excellent: thorough without being overwhelming, designed to facilitate access to particular topics, and there is even an extensive manual one can download in PDF from the site. The menus are so well designed and intuitive that, although I've used XYplorer heavily for almost two weeks I've yet to have to consult the on-line documentation.

And if you click on the label 'Location:' (and not the actual location) then the full thing is copied, with the label.It has a plethora of valuable options. Not exactly as you described, but there's already something like this: double-click the info you want to be copied to the clipboard.įor example, dbl-clicking on the Location will actually copy it to the clipboard. Basically it makes the program more useful without using more space. That way if I quickly want to copy part of a filename for use somewhere else, I don't have to work too hard to do it. I'm aware I can hit F2, but I tend to leave my left hand in the alt-tab position at all times, so F2 isn't the most convenient option for me.Įnder-01 wrote:1) Being able to select this text out of the properties section at the bottom to copy it to the clipboard (a real call for properties let you do this if you want to see what I mean, right click on a file, goto properties, then you'll see how you can select this text to copy it to the clipboard). I don't care if they're implemented or not, but it would speed up my work a little.

It'd be pretty neat to change it's location just by deleting off part of the path, or typing in a new path, or change the filename, or even the date, etc. Which I think is a good thing.Ģ) While we're at it, if it was possible to rename from a single click, single click like in explorer, this may be possible I'm not sure, but the first request still would be practical either way.ģ) Being able to manipulate the file by editing the fields at the bottom.

Two things would be useful.ġ) Being able to select this text out of the properties section at the bottom to copy it to the clipboard (a real call for properties let you do this if you want to see what I mean, right click on a file, goto properties, then you'll see how you can select this text to copy it to the clipboard). In the default appearence of XYplorer, the bottom section of the screen presents a nice recap of information about the file.
