Question... in the right click menu there's an option that says "Label"... it's inactive but is that mean that is goona be implemented in the future?  :blink: cause that'll be awesome

That will be a long, long, long way...

Actually it's just there for.. um... for nothing :lol:

#149375

hmm still no 'sort by Type' on the context menu ? - think you should really add this one if anyone is like me I hate having my file types all dissarranged ! :P :naughty:

#149379

agree...

plus, I've noticed that when you move the links the icons doesn't, so you can have the pictures links, displaying the music icon, for example.

should I deleted the old looca version? or put this in the old folder?

#149398

it's great... :D :woot:

but there's a thing change...

in version 1.55 -->right click on the file will display the windows normal menu...

(so i can extract my zip or rar files by right click menu)

in version 1.7 -->the right click menu is diffenent...have to open the rar first, then extract it...feel a little unconvenient...

great work anyway.. :naughty:

thank you ve~~~~ry much

you read my mind, I was gonna say the same thing :rolleyes:

well it would be great if the zip files will have their own options (like "extract to here...", etc) and the same for rar files.

#149422

can you put in a "set as wallpaper" option for the right click menu for images... that is really important to me. I hate using the desktop properties menu

#149429

Simply

WOW!!!!!! :woot:

#149431

good

awesome

WOOOOW :woot:

#149436

very nice. love the new shortcut options. I am with everyone else about the zip extraction. Definitely miss the old menu. I think with as many zip files as we dowload and extract here at A-S it would be really nice not to have to open win rar every time. Not that big of a deal though! Still really great!

Oh and that column browsing demo is unreal. Finder is almost here.

Now, if only I could find some skins ;)

#149438

simply great thing. many thx for ur hard work on this project. plz keep it up.

I like this finder clone.but i have a small problem. I use icon packager to change my icons and they look great in win explorer but they look default xp icons in looca

how can i fix this please?

#149481

Looca uses the icons in the shell32.dll. Install a modded .dll, hack the .dll and change the icons or just settle with the default folders

#149489

It's great as usual, thanks for your hard work ^_^

#149497

The newest version is great! Love it... (is it considered polygamy to love more than one finder)? :D

#149501

good work! ^_^

this is the first version of Looca i`m using without major bugs.

here`s what i`ve found so far:

Search is is weird and apparently not working. When i type the window blinks but nothing happens. and i`ve set to search other than go to location.

Having first 8 icons defined by Looca is crap. I have 3 HDs and i wanted to put one above the separator but it messes the icon (i know you can set it later manually) but it`s crap and looks very wierd. Try making an shortcut in the left panel and pushing it up past the separator and u`ll know what i mean ;)

Start speed is very good, and so is browsing. Good job!

I hate the menus (sorry but i do). The reason i`m still using NexPlorer is it`s "normal" win menus.

I`d like the third button in the view list to be thumbnails. It`s annoying to go to the options each time i want to view pic in some of my Pictures folders. NexPlorer has this solved better.

That`s is for now :)

Keep up the good work, in the meantime, i`m keeping my eye on Looca ;)

#149511

i have to agree with Unbeliever and the others on the menu ...

we want the win menu back >.<

great wok man :rock:

when you search you have to put *search whatever* otherwise it wont search

I beleive that he left the icons that way because of previous skins maybe? I dunno. It would work better to be able to select all on your own. The skinner could just include the icons to be dropped into the "icons" folder and be done with it. As far as the menus, the original right click on an item was perfect.. what needed to be fixed was the right click on a blank space. It would be nice to have paste and sort in that menu. Other than that the previous looca menu system was great. I am really digging the new version though. Adding new shortcuts is simple. A few tweaks and when he ads column browsing and we have our perfect finder!

Keep up the great work!

Skin switching is much nicer now! Don't have to restart! nice

#149519

Does anyone have experience with the mac finder? I love this app..It does all I want!

#149534

I also noticed that in this version there is no more flickering (at least for me) when the skin uses a background image. Good news for skinning!

#149795

@ pantoni

just a little question for eye-candy:

would a gradient-fill for both windows be possible? in a horizental way, gradient-fill from color#1 to color #2.

or even better: gradient-fill option for the hole background, too. ???

#149796

I am relatively new. I am currious to give Looca a try. Could someone please tell me where the finder folder goes?

Thank You

it doesnt matter. Just unzip it anywhere then open it and click on looca.exe inside the folder. You will have to setp up the shortcuts once you open it. Let me know if you need help ;)
