Explorer++

There is a considerable delay when I run Explorer++ or open a "My Computer" new tab. It queries state of the floppy drive and it makes a loud sound and takes a few seconds. I've now stopped it querying the A:\ and its as fast as windows explorer now. * Src: Explorer++_floppy_fix_changed_fi...

I found the drive toolbar not that useful, because when I plug in removable media the volume label is the most important thing to know, whereas only the drive letters are displayed. This displays the volume label in brackets, and it correctly updates when you remove or plug in removable media. I als...

Here is a quick tutorial on how to create a .patch file for sharing contributions. Install subversion. Create a directory to store code. Open cmd and change to the directory. Type: svn co https://explorerplus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/explorerplus explorerplus Make the changes. Type: svn diff > my...

Here is the patch (attached) which can be applied to the head of the svn repository (R156).
I also fixed it to support paths not containing \*, eg: explorer++_1.2_src\Explorer++\Explorer++\Address*.cpp
(previous links also updated).

I've become used to these two features in browsers, and find it useful to group a collection of tabs in each window.
* Drag tab to new window
* Drag tab to another existing window
Test in chrome and firefox to see how they do it.

I'd like the application toolbar buttons to have a parameters section in the dialog. The configurable parameters could support %dir% and %files% (for current directory / selected files). %files% is less important, since the context menu works ok for now. This would make it easier to integrate extern...

Thanks for the "hooking search into a different tool" idea. I tried to use the application toolbar to launch an external tool (grepWin). Unfortunately the application toolbar does not support parameters with special tags (eg %dir% and %files% for current directory / selected files). So I d...

I modified Explorer++ so that I can just type eg "\*.cpp" on the end of the address bar to change the filter. This is similar behaviour to the way 2xExplorer works. Here is the exe so people can see what it is like: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bertdb/ryan/Explorer/Explorer++_filter_mod.7z...

Whenever I want to do content search I use 2xExplorer. I find it works better than the default explorer search. You can download it here to see how it works: http://www.netez.com/2xExplorer/ I was always disappointed it wasn't open source, and the project is now dead although you can still download ...
