Re: Font size

First, especially in regard to Registry settings, my version is drastically different! This is mainly the GUI, a few bug fixes and a few enhancements. David's original Explorer++ relies heavily on storing settings in the Registry; my version follows that lead (at least for now). However, I have chan...

Re: 10 foot explorer

8K monitors are now a reality. I also use large 4K TVs for my monitors and need to change the fonts and icons to be usable. I use a utility (Change Windows 10 Fonts) which gives me the ability to change a lot of the operating system's GUI (similar to what we could do with Windows 7). I have modified...

Re: Button to copy the path into the clipboard

Could you please explain how to do that? Screenshots appreciated First off, you would need to be able to compile everything and know how to program (or be willing to download/install/use a modified version of Explorer++ from someone you don't know - me)… Explorer++.png I have drastically modified E...

Re: Explorer++ is very slow on Windows 10

I'm experiencing the same thing and am blaming it on a collision with virus protection (although I have done no actual testing). It seemed to have started after updating Norton 360 and/or Windows 10.

Re: Button to copy the path into the clipboard

I too have this need so I added the functionality to my personal version. I chose to use a "Tools" menu entry and I gave it a keyboard shortcut. If anyone wants the code, let me know.

Re: Drag-and-drop - treat shortcut/link to folder as folder itself

It's been so long now I don't remember the exact details but it required considerable changes to the code. I started out with the 1.3.5 32-bit code base and have made MANY major changes for my personal version/use. As I went along I tried to keep track of the changes by commenting out the original c...

Re: Show "Extension" Column Setting - Set to Exclude Folders

I very rarely use this feature choosing instead to "Group By" Type but I agree with OP and would support either A or B (with very slight leaning towards B).

Re: Unable to set as default file manager

I've added Explorer++ to the right click context menu for Folder and Links-to-Folder icons. This allows me to double click on an icon to open it in Windows Explorer and use the context menu to open it in Explorer++.

Re: Font size

Sorry for hijacking, but does it mean that you can't change the icons too? I'd like to make it more win10ish. Generally, the same answer applies… Most (if not all) of the icons come from image files which are part of the source download. Getting the source and all dependent libraries installed and ...
