In last week, I did a short presentation of Altap Salamander in my company. We are using Total Commander and nobody even heard of AS. We bought several dozen licences of Total Commander, but now I'm occupying oneself with making orders, and I think Altap Salamander is worth buying.
Employees found lack of two features which they use in AS. In Total Commander is possible to perform full text search in PDF files. We have near all documentation in PDF files, so this is very important feature for us. There is plugin for Total Commander with souce code (C++) at: http://lefteous.totalcmd.net/tc/xpdfsearch_eng.htm
Is it possible to have the same feature in AS ??
Second thing is method of local network handling in AS. When I press "shift+F7" I can change directory to \\server\share. Why I can't change directory to \\server to see shares on that server ? It is much more comfortable and faster than from drive menu. How to browse in Altap Salamander content of hidden share ?
Sorry for poor English
Two important features
Yeah the handling in this case is a bit rusty, but as a workaround you can still use the CTRL+B (in the shift+F7 dialog) and open the directory browser with network access.
Here a hint/feature for Altap:
if share name not specified then open browser with specified computer name opened/selected with listed shares.
This should not be hard to implement.

xPDFSearch source (GPL licence) is packed with SQX. I attached repacked sources with ZIP. Maybe it will help a little. To AS team: is it possible to search in PDF files in Altap Salamander ??
