[release] Nexplorer 1.9

Hi all,

Thanks for waiting . Here is version 1.9 with 3 Bzeitler skins. (Panther, milk, GuiPod)

( Supports only XP and 2003 server)

Screenshots

New search mode is a little faster. It supports drag-n-drop from the search results list but don't use it for a large file or many files at the same time because it uses a temporary directory.

If you click an item in the search list, the parent directory appears in the bottom pane and you can do normal file operations in the bottom pane.

I know it's not quite like the real finder but I think it's still quite useful

As I have shown in the preview thread, the new version supports color labels in details and multipane views.

There was a person who asked if it's faster than the previous version but unfortunately it can't be faster . I guess it would be a little slower with all the custom drawing rouintes. So please don't complain about speed and don't use it if you think it's too slow for you.

There are some bug fixes and added features that I don't remember now.

Most of you would know how to report bugs. Fill this in.

1. OS / Hardware spec:

2. Symptom (Make it clear and simple):

3. Type : Look, Speed, Crash, Function, etc.....

4. Frequency : Always, Once in a while or when a certain pre-condition exists

5. Screenshot if available:

I know it's still a long way to go to make a perfect clone and I doubt it will ever reach that stage. (If pearpc achieves some speed improvement, this project may die away)

I basically know how it is different from the real one (yeah I also use pearpc and it rocks ) so you don't have to teach me what should be added or what is not right

BZeitler and I planned to release this together with his skin pack but I can't reach him right now. I'm sure he will release it this evening though.

Ok, Now the download link

hey man thank for your attention for us

you're so kind :rock:

Talk about excellent timing, its 7:10am here, I just woke up! What great news to wake up to!

I think this version is faster! Dragging the window around the screen seems smoother too. The 'Trash Can' feature is great! I have nothing but praise for this release

#177752

I forgot to mention a few things . The folder icon included looks a little jagged when it gets small. Replace it with your own and be sure that the icon has 16x16

And the multipanel view might still have some bugs

The new scrollbars are experimental so they may act weird or flicker a lot

#177759

thanks vneumann, downloading right now ... thanks for your time, thanks for your kind words and dont worry, your project WILL NEVER die ... its AWESOME ... tanks a lot !

#177761

Awesome work thx vneumann! :woot:

One question: how do I change the folder icon? I get the default ugly yellow winxp folder icons

#177763

Just uninstall 1.8, that's what I did, and it works, sure you have to redo everything, but trust me........it's sooooooo worth it

#177777

i got the:

"Error 1316. A network error occured while attempting to read the file.

C:\DOCUME~1\Static\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is89\Nexplorer1.87.msi"

>.<

#177779

Please people, read the posts before you write

You have to uninstall the previous version first

Thanks for pointing that out, Kej0

Major Bug Report!! Sorry...

I installed NeXplorer, never having installed it on this computer before. It installed successfully.

1) Windows XP Home

2) NeXplorer doesn't visibly open

3) Crash/Doesn't visibly start

4) Always, as far as I can tell

Notes: NeXplorer shows as being loaded in the memory, but no window comes up. Other apps are somewhat slow when NeXplorer is running. Must end the process with Task Manager.

So, there you have it. A screenshot isn't really necessary as far as I can tell...

Try this. Unintall it.

And Make sure to clean up this entry in your registry

HKCU\ Software\Nexplorer

Any entry related to nexplorer under HKCU\Software

Then clean up the nexplorer folder

and try reinstalling it

If it doesn't work either, report to me again

#177789

This doesn't replace Explorer; you have to do that yourself.

Edit: I'll try that vneumann

Edit # 2: I tried that, but it still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Why a temp. directory?

#177792

Vneumman, you did it again, the new version kicks ass, however the flicker kinda ruins the app, it doesnt really bother me that much. It rules

I would like to make a suggestion thou: Make possible to add labels in Collum view

We cant do it that, we can only do it in Icon view

It's just that when I tried draggin files from several different directories , it only allows linking not real copying. I checked MSDN documentation but it is not well documented as usual.

I tried building CIDA arrays with CFSTR_SHELLIDLIST but it allows only linking

A good old CF_HDROP won't do?

I'm loving it! One problem, granted this is probably something with my machine.

But the the icon on the title bar, and iconon the taskbar are always invisible. The only icon that ever shows up is "My computer" the rest show up as white squares.

I tried changing the icons in the Nexplorer folder, but it doesn't change the problem.

I'm using this on my desktop modding rig

P3 933MHz

32MB Onboard graphics card (Nvidia)

384MB SDRAM

Is it because of my bit resolutuon? It can only go up to 24bit

I guess the problem is when the icons have no alpha ( old style icons)

People who have modded their system files or use iconpackager won't have much problem.

I am not completely sure though

#177804

The font on caption bar and status bar reverts back to unknown(Tahoma maybe) font after i restart Nexplorer, and its definately not Lucida Grande.
