Explorer++

I ask because I am both confused, and frustrated. Recent changes are using "Windows Implementation Library", which as far as I can tell, require VS2019, though apparently some have been able to get it to work with VS2017. I use VS2015, and have not been able to install VS2017 because it br...

I use VS2015 for my compiles. I am unable to use VS2017/9 because I can not afford them, and they do not work with my setup. Both of them break my desktop and many other things. This is because I have my W7 modded to be as close to 2K/XP as I can make it, the entire W7 desktop is a steaming pile of ...

I would start with how many directories/files are in it. Next would be the directory level. Grab the free version of treesize and take a good look at it. Walking the dir tree takes time, lots and lots, of time. It also takes memory, lots and lots, of memory. Both things that your os wants to keep to...

So that is what happens with directory tabs disappearing at random, taking the window with it of course. It never occurred to me to check for something like that, that is nuts. Located the setting in options and disabled it. {YAY!, it is dead!} I am already fighting an issue, but I will trim this ou...

I have been debating this for a while now.
For my own use, I am going to add a column to details view that contains file counts.
This will be for directories and archives.

If I can figure out how to make my own column that is.
Anyone else interested if I can figure this out?

Not sure if this will help or not, but your question/need is not new. https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1157338 One or more of those might do what you need. Though I use the address bar which I keep in text mode to get the current path. One of several tweaks I made for my own use. Janus.

To do this, implementing the detection, reading and parsing of desktop.ini files is needed.
Those are where explorer stores those options, so using the existing one is the easiest solution.
Adding the ability to write them would be nice as well.

I get around this by launching a fresh copy of explorer++ after my usb device is enumerated. I use that copy/instance to interact with the device. When I am done, I close that copy of explorer++ before ejecting it. So far, this has worked for me. It appears that no link is established with a running...

@ tallguy297 & @GHL1 The seconds selection is in /explorer++/helper/helper.cpp:60 int iReturn2 = GetTimeFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_USE_CP_ACP | TIME_NOSECONDS, localSystemTime, NULL, TimeBuffer, SIZEOF_ARRAY(TimeBuffer)); Removing time_noseconds restores the seconds to view. There is als...

It would likely start with detecting, then loading and parsing the existing desktop.ini files windows spreads like litter everywhere. After that would be saving them. This could give a per directory override for the default view. I myself use details everywhere except a few select places. The abilit...
