[ann] eploriX - Finder Clone

and maybe a Tiger Finder like Spotlight view

hmmm... anyway you could team up with TomLapp and his Spotlite for that? just throwing around ideas... other then that if you need a beta tester i'd be more then happy to help...

As I said earlier I don't know how long it'll take to let this become real. It's a freetime-based project and I also have to take care of school and job ;)

take all the time you need man... we (or at least me) will be waiting for as long as it takes... :)

The key to success is including what Looca needed: The ability to add folders to the sidebar by dragging them.

On topic: This looks awesome. I should try to get more into PS skills and I could help you. Don't give up and good luck, we are behind you 100%!!!!!!!!!11111one111

i can help with anything but coding. so if you want a dedicated site or graphics or anything let me know, and also i'd be happy to test the app... and the idea of trying to integrate tom's spotlight is a good one if that is possible.

p.s. i sent you a pm

#294326

First (not really usable build) released... please check the first post ;)

#294890

First alpha build? Probably, it wouldn't be long before you get your own dedicated thread under "community apps" then, :)

Just be strong enough to face the countless people who just wouldn't understand how to wait properly for the next build... "When would it be done" questions would come... Just dont cave in under the pressure... :)

Testing... Can't seem to be able to run it on my home comp (application failed to init. properly... probably no .Net framework or something?)... Gotta try on my Aqua-modded lappy then...

#294907

mmmh does it need .NET installed ? :( I'd like to keep that thing as far as I can from my computer :P

#294925

yeah... it uses .net framework - sorry :(

#294928

One thing to notice about the development of exploriX - EVERY single member who asks about the release date, asks to be a tester (if Larsen doesn`t request any) or starts requesting features, will be SUSPENDED FOR A MONTH! Next time he does that - he gets a complete ban.

Also Larsen, if you get PMs from people bugging you, feel that someone's posting crap in the thread or in ANY other way is doing something you don`t like, PM me and it will be taken care of.

We have lost more than enough developers and new ones are scarce so i won`t hessitate doing whatever i can to protect those who make this community from those who leech it.

#294934

If it isn't already (I haven't had the chance to test it), could you make it .net 1.1, instead of 2.0?

[Edit: Maybe I have no business suggesting this. In my mind, however, it's not really a feature, but more a core component. It's what drove me away from siwu's Sinapse. Sorry if I'm irritating you already ;) ).

Thanks :).

Thanks for the offer... let's hope that we don't have to practise it ;)

Trust me. After spending 2 years in this community, the ugly, n3wbish side of it surfaces every time when it can whine, bug & leech.

They will come like they came when Looca, Nexplorer and bunch of others were revealed.

The only difference is, i wasn`t able to do anything then. ;)

#294983

Unbeliever, i fear you message will go unoticed being in the middle of the thread, a part which those people most likely to ask such questions will not read.

#294985

All right guys... look at my first post - Upgrade to alpha 0.2 :D

#294986

In a way, that is the purpose CDi2 ;)

If they don`t want spend 5 mins to read a thread AND want to bug Larsen about something, they should be banned.

If Larsen can write an app for us, then whiners can at least read a thread before bugging him.

*laugh* Oooh Unbeliever... your direct words always make me fear ;)

#294994

For those of you, who haven't seen exploriX 0.2 yet, or those who couldn't install it because they have no .net framework 2, I made a screenshot, so that you can see it at least on this way ;)

Show me!

#295315

Looks more promising than ever ... and you're welcome !!

Feel free to message me in case you need any more help with the graphics :D

#295431

It looks verry promising. I have one question. PLEASE, don't abandon the project untill is finished (e.g. Nexplorer, Looka). I love a new good and funtional Finder clone.

#295458

Upgrade to Alpha 0.3 - check out the first post ;)

#295536

I use dot net 1.1 now and it still isn't capatible. if i use 2.0 can I still run 1.1 stuff?

#295545

Yes, no problem there ;)

#295546

a humble request... for those who do not have .net2 yet installed, is there any way you could post screenshots of new alpha's to keep us all involved? I for one, am very curious as to what get's added in what order as development progresses.

Thanks Larsen2k4

#295548

All right ;)

Hope you like it :)

#295551

ok, heres the big skinning question, will this app be brushed by defult, or do u need to have a brushed VS?

#295561

The beta release won't be skinable, but the final should support skins. I'm working on it ;)
