I do wish there were some more context menus, a few more tabs.
XYPLORER TWO INSTANCES STORED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS PLUS
At least there's that great jump list for settings!Īnd for terminology - Don's been at this so long, his language and syntax choices pre-date most other non-native tools, plus its a very international group. Something this deep, some of the menus are simply not going to be what or where you expect no way around it. And don't feel dumb about not finding Search Templates when you were looking for Save Templates or whatever - I looked several other places before resorting to the Help file. So that you don't feel alone, sometimes I feel so daft about the ultra-basic level of a question I have, I can't even stand the thought of it being public. So yes, it's deep, and those of us who've reached an age where we're somewhat memory-impaired will struggle, and certainly get punished for not thoroughly reading the manual/help system + website.Īnd yet, here's the forum, where some very smart people, including Don, generally give out help, regardless of how seemingly obvious it may be to them, very graciously.
I'm sure someone else could've found it in a couple of minutes. Until I got obsessed with tracking it down, I simply used that feature in Everything and bumped it into a paper folder. I think I finally found it in the What's New section on the website. In XY, you use "readme.txt /p //find all folders that contain a file readme.txt" <- that reference was hard for me to find, for some reason. Example: In "Everything" you use child: to find folders that contain something. Sometimes it can be frustrating to try to find something you know XY can do, but can't find the right term - or see right in front of you. They want to do something more complicated, they can ask me. I bought my wife and son licenses for Christmas - two panes, tabs, previews when you press the mouse, and some of the other most obvious features are enough to make them both very happy. I'm an old guy with old habits.Įnjoy what XY can do with your current level of expertise. And then there are things like Hard LInk Shell Extension that - well lookie here: XY does it all (almost ). It's a feature that's hugely helped my transition. bat, or Bulk Rename Utility, or another deduper, or whatever. Some features like paper folders (Thank you!) has allowed me to use tools and techniques I already know, but XY can do natively, that I haven't discovered yet - so I've done it with PowerShell, or Everything, or a. I personally find XY to have a very good balance of hiding its complexity until I want it. I'm constantly juggling the huge amount of usability I currently find, with the increased power I COULD be using if I learned a new feature. I sympathize with learning versus productive right now.
