Great Work Matonga, Its fantastic but another Finder Clone??? Coming Soon we will see more "Finders" than Agents Smith :

I belive that already we have a Finder For Windows....


Tom´s Findexer+Ksoft´s Toolbar+Mac*(Cursors+Icons)+a great Visual Style

We would only need to have a "Quick look" or "CoverFlow"

those are miltiple applications, using one thakes less memory and will be faster
also you only have to install one and not 4

Also, with Findexer you don't have drop down menus you can't get any of the views(including the new cover-flow view Matonga's working on). Even though there are a lot of Finder Clone's available, there is only one that can do what Matonga's can, and he's barely even started working on it.

Details^^
I also prefer the Explorer with Addons and i would love to see Coverflow in it. Because the Explorer is very deep in XP integrated and i don´t think it can replaced with a tool like "FingerXP". Only a complete Shell-Replacement will be do this... (Cairo?^^)
But nice and fast Preview, Mantoga

[matmat07]

Would it be possible to replace the win+e command with it?

It always amazes me seeing how people complain about things they receive for free!!

Keep the good work matonga! I only hope this will work on Vista too, and that's all...

Mmm... pretty strange. Can you go into regedit.exe and File/Export this one?:

My PCHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Icons

I have IconTweaker installed in my notebook and it works pretty well with Finger.

[matonga]

Added 1 pixel light shadow to sidebar section names, and 1 pixel dark shadow to highlighted sidebar item. That's how it looks in Apple's Finder.

Added small multilanguage support (just a kick-start). File can be unicode.

[username3d3]

Hey Matonga, did you ever check out what bundles where?

What program did you use to change the icons in the first place?

Launch Start menu, then select Run..., enter regedit and press Ok.

"Registry Editor" application will appear.

In the tree view at the left, expand My PC, then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then Explorer.

Still in the tree view, right click Shell Icons which is inside of Explorer, and select Export.

A typical Save-as dialog appears, in Type/Kind select Win9x/NT4/REGEDIT4 file type.

Then save the file somewhere handy (for e.g. in My documents). It will have .reg extension.

Rename it to .txt, or WinZip it, and post it here as an attachment.

Holla matonga!

I'm still having problems viewing 'Flying Cow' (lol) view with this latest version in Vista. I know this beauty is targeted at XP but it opens in Vista too and, as Flying Cow works fine in Vista, I was wondering what could be the problem... anyway, any news on Vista support? (please, at least tell us if it's supposed to support Vista at any point, down the road...)

[matonga]

@Panta:

Does anything else fails or it is just the Cover Flow view?

If you force Vista into non-Aero mode, then it works?

I did some tests for reporting to you; up to now I've just tried it at Cover Flow, as it's the most appealing mode!

First and third modes are fine, second mode either generates access violation (kernel32) or just freezes and fourth apparently always freezes...

As for Vista, I'll have to learn how to change things such as forcing non-Aero mode, as I'm still a total n00b at it (and I'm having mixed feelings about its own new idiosyncrasies.. :slant:)

Hope this helps somehow!

Edit: forgot to mention that quick view is working fine.

[matonga]

@Panta:

I dunno, but probably you just go to screen appearance, or themes, or something like that, and you see the Aero theme is currently selected. Then you select another theme and Aero stuff is then disabled (you notice this as you then see window borders are not transparent anymore, and probably Switcher and other Aero-dependant-apps stop working).

@Kittierocker:

Mmm... not only it is the same than I have here, but also you're using the same IconTweaker pack (LeopardXP Blue). It works fine here. I'll have to investigate this more...

[BOBAH13]

Hey all I also started coding Finder and I don't know if matonga agreed to make this application together. what did I make ? it's http://nemecsx.narod...ndowsFinder.zip and I think I'll be able to make all interface and matonga will make cover flow.... so I'm still waiting for answer of matonga.

[Panta]

@matonga:

I disabled Aero (setting windows classic) both via desktop settings and also via WindowBlinds - I forgot mentioning that I use it - and the behavior is the same... no luck.
