Re: Some productivity tips


#12 - Copy paste paths quickly

I also often use the inverse: CTRL+G and paste the directory or file path / name, press ENTER. A directory is opened, a file it selected.

viewer for newer image formats like JXL (JPEG XL), HEIC, AVIF

Re: Open Salamander on GitHub

Salamander has a feature to send bug reports, e.g. after a crash like it happens when viewing a CSV file. Are (or will be in the future) these reports also be availabe for Open Salamander developers?

Re: Open Salamander on GitHub


Idea: we can move to GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/OpenSalamander/salamander/discussions


As forum.altap.cz contains a wealth of details about requested enhancements, solved issues, etc. do you, @all, think it make sense to start threads for the same topics in GitHub?

Re: HiDPI support and v4.0

Yes, I read the trick in http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2758&hilit=file+list+export , and it may make the job, but this trick is available only to the few people that find that post and even if they find it, it is not easy to build the right query.
