I checked out the command line options and being able to specify a few directories is nice, but it could use just a little more kick:
With windows explorer you can throw a shortcut with "explorer.exe /e /root,C:\Downloads" to open a new window in C:\downloads and treat it like the root folder. E++ could use the ability to set folders in its configuration and treat them the same way (see how windows explorer in XP implements the /root command for what would be the best implementation). When launched as root the tree view only shows the selected folder and its subfolders, none of the higher folders or drives are shown. Useful if you use a particular folder and its subfolders a lot, but want to keep the tree view as uncluttered as possible.
Middle clicking/control+click opens in a new tab.
Shift+click opens a new window.
Right click folder ---> open in new window.
(including from bookmarks) just like most internet browsers behave would all make nice additions.
An option to set the default size and location of new windows would be a plus, like say 800x600 on monitor x or at x&y location. Right now you can get it to behave that way by storing its settings in an XML, placing the window where you want, set to the size you want, with the folders you want, then closing E++ and making the settings.xml read only. So no matter what you do with the window, change its size, close/open tabs and navigate around once you close and re-open it; everything goes back to the state you saved when you set the config.xml to read only.
Actually the way it behaves when using with a read only config.xml is awesome, relaunch the program and it forgets all the changes you made and shows up exactly where you expect it with the folders and tabs open where you want in the order you want. Of course the only annoyance is if you actually want to change something permanently you have to unlock config.xml first.
It could be better if you could store the different groups of folders and window size/location/tab defaults in some sort of profile you can trigger from the command line (like a command line option to load/create an xml file other than the default settings.xml). Right now I get several different E++ windows to load with different folders and tabs open that I drag and drop files to and from a lot by using multiple shortcuts to E++ in individual folders with separate config files all locked to start the way I want so you are 99% there already.
Lanudry list of things from Windows 7 / Vista Explorer that I think are actually worth keeping as options but aren't a priority:
Hide the menu bar.
Tree view expands and centers the current folder.
Bar graphs in system showing the amount of free space on each drive.
Suppress empty drives.
While renaming files, tab advances the cursor to the next file.
When creating a new folder, you can type the name immediately without having to hit rename first.
That's about it, if I think of anything else as I use the program I'll update the thread, thanks for this great program.
