Please tell me what you think

thats pretty cool

a few ideas for it:

sprung folders, pretty please

Home goes to my documents, or can be configured to

in the middle view option, abbreviate the files with a .... so they don't overun the next icon

i think i could dump explorer in the near future`

Cool app

Problems:

CPU CPU CPU (I know you know this)

3 columned view, thats my favorite feature, please, please!

And spring loaded folders would be nice

startup time could be improved

Great potential. Please continue to develop this app. You seem to have stopped development of many of your other apps.

Peace.

Hi alilm

It is wonderful.

Future is expected.

#20766

OMG THATS THE MOST LOVELY LITLE TING I EVER SEEN

Thanks man!

Peace

I really really really like it. There's just one problem, It doesn't skin folder icons. I changed the normal folder icons using iphile and iconpackager yet the app shows the default folder not my new aqua folder that is seen in my real explorer. Yet it skins my computer which i skinned but didn't show on my desktop. How can i fix that?:

Thanks guys,

Falrex, that happens because the icon set you have isnt fully complete, ie it doesnt skin everything. If you make your icons slightly smaller it should work, or if your really desperate try one of these shell32.dll's that are supposed to completely re skin everything.

Hi alilm,

Nice work!

Regarding the CPU usage bug, I have it here as well. I suppose the program just goes into a loop polling the keyboard/mouse. Perhaps you may want to use On Event handling instead so the program will *wait* for input instead of continous polling.

#20803

Amazing alilm

Thank you :lol:

Only one thing: 3 columned view!!!!

#20858

LOVELY!! :wub:

@Flarex: why is the IE icon so squashed?

#20865

Thats a Snowe.2 style icon. They are all squished.

#20881

#20883

#20917

Looks amazing alilm. Haven't tried it yet, but I plan to soon. There are so many great apps that have been released that I haven't tried yet. Wow. Keep up the good work!

#20935

Very good work Alilm. I like it.

Only a question: there is a way to animate or highlight toolbar icons on mouseover/move ?

#20988

I downloaded this Finder, but didn't get a chance to try it out yet. I will ASAP. Thanks in advance for your work. I (and most others) appreciate it.

Looks great....nice app...couple of comments/questions

1. What directory is clicking on the computer supposed to show? It doesn't seem to do anything on my machine.

2. The text on the address bar for me is white (not the "Path" window in the upper right - the line that show what folder you're looking at), so it's not readable against the aqua stripes background.

3. I get the 100% CPU problem too.

If you read the readme on the new version your points 1 and 3 have been fixed. You can now have custom paths for the icons to shortcut to.

Expect your point 2 to be fixed in next version

Many thanks guys

Really cool.

Requests:

3 paned view, its sooo essential for the mac/finder experience

Some sort of ability to have like -C:\ or something after the shortcut, so I can start the program in a certain folder, that would be so cool.

#21057

excellent work alilm!

Keep up the great effort!
