Re: Close multiple instances loses settings

I would at least like a "save" menu item, which saves the current settings. That would stop me modifying settings that I know cause a save (eg creating a bookmark does not save). So if you have 1 instance running for a long time, you don't have to exit just to save the settings (and curren...

Re: Single instance doesn't restore automatically

How to reproduce (Windows XP): * Run Explorer++ in single instance mode. * Open notepad and fill the screen, with notepad the active task. * Run "explorer++.exe c:\tmp" - it opens the directory, but does not bring the window forward. This is not enough to make Explorer++ the foreground win...

Single instance doesn't restore automatically

Sometimes when you open a folder (eg "explorer++.exe c:\tmp") with multiple instances disabled the existing instance taskbar entry just flashes orange - it does not restore the window. But it does correctly open the directory. Its a bit annoying it does not restore the window. You have to ...

Re: Opens wrong file

It was with v1.2.
I'll start using a newer version and see if the problem reappears.

New Instance Argument

If you want to temporarily change the way explorer++ starts (new instance vs existing instance) you can change this via the command line. -new_instance = Open new explorer++ window. -last_instance = Open directories in the last focused explorer++ window. I generally like to have 2 or 3 instances, an...

Opens wrong file

If you create a new text file with the right click context menu, then rename the file, then open it, if you do it quick enough explorer++ opens the wrong file. It tries to open the file before it was renamed (usually says error can't find "New Text Document.txt"). The workaround is to just...

Re: Deleting files takes too long

On different XP pcs the delete operation is not as painfully long. I wouldn't be surprised if the virus checker on that PC has hooked into whatever mechanism is used for deleting files and decides to lock the file for ages or something to "scan" it. When you right click a file, the menu th...

Re: Move tab to new window

I couldn't reproduce the crash on my development pc. But the crash happens every time on another PC (which doesn't have VS2010). On a related note, I implemented a minidump feature. I noticed there was evidence of an unfinished minidump feature, so it looks like other people wanted it. Hopefully I c...

Deleting files takes too long [solved]

Explorer++ takes a very long time to delete files (v 1.2, XP). If everything it is doing is essential, could it do it in a separate thread or something, so you can still navigate while the delete operation is still going on? I may consider using an application toolbar shortcut just to delete files f...
