Altap Salamander Support Forums

Some guests seem to have limited experience with professional software development. ... non-essential issues such as the docs which hardly anyone uses. Obviously for some users it is hard to distinguish between what they use and what others may use (especially new users). Trying to sell a software p...

I vote for this change. To go even further I would suggest to have a visual hint remaining if changing to the other panel. Now I have to decipher the information line to find out what file has been selected last (and will be selected when jumping back to that panel). This could also be helpful in co...

Sounds like an interesting feature, though I do not think that it will make it into the core... This seems to be a perfect scenario for a custom-made plugin (special interest feature but very helpful for a some (special) users). Once Altap shoves out the promised plugin SDK, somebody may pick up thi...

I would also say that Altap Salamander is an improvement. For me Servant has a negative touch. The term Salamander is still a bit long for a product name, but that's the heart of your brand. In addition the logo would become useless without the Salamander portion. Some other ideas that you may want ...

Oh, I forgot that obvious test :oops: . In fact WinEx shows a similar behaviour, so Windows XP is the bad guy here. The only difference is, that it does not show an error message when refusing to rename from NewFile.txt to Newfile.txt . BTW: Rebooting causes Windows to 'forget' the old name, thus al...

I use the Windows XP feature "Offline Files" that allows to make network files available when disconnected. When I create a new file say NewFile.txt in an offline folder and try to rename to Newfile.txt (with lowercase f) SS refuses to do so with an error 183: Cannot create a file when tha...

The behaviour of Windows Explorer quick search is based on completely different basis. It distinguishes between fast and slow strokes: fast strokes belongs to one item, whilst slow strokes means "go to the next item". Ohh, should have tested more :oops:. I withdraw that argument. Under th...

Me too.

jh092, please post here when you have a release version.

Would you mind to not only make it Freeware but also Open Source? I am interested how you are doing this (seems that cincura.net is also).

One final attempt to make sure that we talk about the same thing (then I will leave this topic alone) I think of a situation like this (file list): AAA ABC ARA ARE BBB DEE EEE Current behavior is as follows: Pressing A will select AAA , pressing R will select ARA , pressing D will do nothing (as no ...

I think about an new button in the copy/move dialog like [Rename] Confirm File Overwrite ----------------------------------------------------------------- Overwrite With [Yes] _ [All] _ [Skip] _ [Skip All] _ [Cancel] _ [Rename] ----------------------------------------------------------------- I sup...

Yeehah, great news. :D This will certainly push this wildcard feature on German keyboards. Jan , one point. In your last post you say that ">" (greater than) will be available as a wildcard but this requires to press SHIFT. Your earlier posts mention "<" (less than) as the wildca...

> For A,B,D in you example i prefer A and 2xdown (up) key. Me too. Me not. I rarely look at the keyboard w In arping. As I said, my fingers know where the letters are. To press DOWN I have to lift my right hand, look at the DOWN key, move my hand over and press it, move the hand back and look back ...

Quick Search certainly is a powerful mechanism. But sometimes I miss the WinEx style for cycling thru files/directories as there is nothing faster but pressing the same key repeatedly. In addition the \-wildcard is not really intuitive and also hard to press on some keyboards (on a German keyboard y...

I would also vote for a different location than the user's temp dir. I have no issues with using the windows directory (especially as it is such a small file). My %sysytemroot%\ShellExt is also empty. Somehow surprising that nobody uses it but it sounds like the right place for files like that. Unin...

I agree with SvA and johnd126 . It is more intuitive for people that use (for whatever reason) the context menu (btw, I do not). This would be another tiny step to help people convert from WinEx. I cannot imagine a downside of it so I vote for it in the name of all the nameless future Sala users. :w...
