Vneunman, you are the best !!!

keep up this amazing Work  dude !!!!!!!!!!

and btw. the only problem i have is when you launch the app. it just start blinking and so on, and then it just rezise itself in the ugliest way possible.

              { wish }

i hope this baby, someday maybe , can have a skin engine so i will never change my beloved Panther visual style, and i`ll have this app with a brushed skin everywhere. :)

and Can you add DRAG and DROP to the tool bar ?????????

PLEASE this will be the most amazing app ever done in this site Forever if you do it  !!!

That's implemented in Firefox and I guess that's very similar to how Mac finder works. I am planning to read through the source code of fire fox to find out how to do it. Hopefully it is written in C++.

Just a sugestion:

Implement a way to scale the icons in the sidepane and browser views if possible, then we can have them whatever size we want :)

And glad to hear you're going to add spacing options :)

For a sidepane it is not difficult, but for the browser it will cause a significant

drop off in speed because then it cannot use system image list and has to build its

own image list. The system image list is stored in a cache so it's faster to deal with.

The easy way is for you to change your shell Icon size .

In regedit, change the value of this key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Icons

Oops ! this is not icon size .

Right here.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\CONTROL PANEL\\DESKTOP\\WindowMestrics\\Shell Icon Size

Change this value and restart windows probably. Or just rebuilding icon cache might work.

If you use iconpackager, you can see that the program just plays with these two registry keys. (Maybe I can build a hybrid of iconpackager and Nexplorer when I have time)

:blink: I have never seen that problem before.

Has it happen to anybody else?

Looks like it's a gdi+ problem. I have absolutely no idea why it happens

and I think it may be a bug in gdi+.

I'm afraid I can't help you there cause I'm clueless.

#158291

OB causing Nexplorer minimize and restore whenever it executed.

without OB, Nexplorer just work fine.

anyone encounter this?

Sidepane alone is fine :) I only use a max of 48x48 in the browser view anyways :)

0.91 doesn't use gdi+ at all.

gdi+ is needed for all the icandy stuff ( png support, color label ...)

I could have done it with gdi alone but then I have to use graphics library

made by others and simply gdi+ is so convenient to use on programmer's end.

Sorry that I can't help you.

It seems to be a problem with WindowBlinds i think.

If i exclude NeXplorer from WB skinnig all works fine.

But the strange thing about it...why isn´t the first Beta affected by WB skinning problems !?

***heeeeeeeeeeeelp***

;)

#158316

Works fine for me with WB skinning

Also could somebody tell me how do I create a link in the Side panel that links to Desktop?? I cant really "drag" the desktop in :)

Why it works for U and not for me :cry: :cry: :cry:

Just create a new link from the right click menu right through your Desk - Drag into Nexplorer - Done :)

EDIT:

Problem solved :) It was the "Hyperpaint" Option in WB - What the Hell is Hyperpaint ?!

Anyway...unchecking or just decrease the amount of this Option and NeXplorer looks beautifull all the time :)

:D

#158324

yes you can. C:\documents and settings\username\desktop

#158328

This is an amazing program and I'm stunned at how well it works with everything.

Is there any way to use the ENTER key to open the folders? I'm used to scrolling through folders using the direction keys and opening with ENTER in the Windows Explorer.

If this can't be done, no worries, I'm still loving this application.
