FindeXer

[dreadnaut]

can you snip the iPod entry of your items.xml file and post it here ? - or a screenshot of the "Edit [iPod]" dialog ?

edit:

@alianyn - I'm having some ideas for a different removable media awareness - should I write them here ?

[mps69]

I'm not sure if this is the place or even the time to request this, but I'll try anyway.

The app allows you to add/amend the seperators, which is really cool.

Is there plans to have the same functions added to the vertical seperator between FindeXer and the Explorer window?

Or is this something that can be done another way?

[MickyS]

@mps69_1999 What would you like to do with the vertical separator? You can increase or decrease its size by a simple mouse drag.

Exelent!

Thanks a lot Alianyn.

Hello, I couldnt get it to work in winSP1, my shame

The install for the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package doesnt finish up and asks me for a dll (doesnt give any any name for it)

Buuuaaa! :'(

[shockme17]

why do people still have sp1? support for sp1 is going to be dropped in the next few months

That doesnt help at all...I guess everybody tells you similar stuff and you just repeat it.

[alianyn]

@MacDream - i'm happy you are enjoying it.

@Julieta - I'm not sure this is because of SP1. I have had reports of users successfully running it on SP1. As I have already noted in previous posts - You need to have Windows Installer 3.0 or 3.1 (press the link to download) in order to install the VS2005 CRT's.

hope it helps

[mps69]

Sorry didn't really make it clear what I was asking for. The phyical line/separator, I'd like it wider, or have the ability to widen it.

I can't get it to work I'm using XP SP2. I registered it and killed explorer and restarted it but I dont see findexer in the explorerbar menu? Help please

[Guest Julieta]

@alianyn, thank you, I had just read the readme file and got the other file from microsoft.

I will try it soon, I am attacking some physics problems at now, lol

Heh, I have never downloaded any of those Service Packs and FindeXer and XP in general is running fine.

Here's a future request from this lazy bum:

When one hits "Ctrl + F" to find something rapidly and then exits out of the Search Companion, I wish for FindeXer to restore itself.

[piniata]

Yeah Austin that's a good idea.

Quoting for emphasis. I use Explorer alot and I hate this annoyance.

@Elijio - no need to both PM me and post here - I answer as soon as I see any posts and am able to post myself

as for your porblem, applematic had a similar problem for which i suggested he check some stuff out

in this post. If you could check those out and report back, maybe we can move head at locating what the porblem is. Also, are you using an Installation of windows that is based on a language other than English?

Please also specify the any Adware or AntiVirus Apps that are installed.

@Austin123, piniata, enjoilax - To accomplish that would require Hooking which usually brings some loads of other problems with it - so I'm pretty uninclined to do that at the moment. As with the default load - I might always figure out another way to do it and implement it, but definitely not in the next 2 builds, so please drop it for now.

btw - what i do when i want to search using ctrl+f is open another window using winkey+e or choosing "explore" from the default menu

[Austin123]

Yes that is a alternative that i sometimes use, thanks for the news. Looking forward to it

OK thanks for the quick reply. My Xp is english and my antivirus is Antivir. I have all those registry keys. Hope you can still help me .BTW does it get installed for all XP accounts?

I'm not sure if someone reported this before ... bug or by design ?

1)- Once i launched explorer via yzDock (ie: my computer, control panel or recycle bin), then clicked any shortcuts in left folder pane (FindeXer) its will open another window instead opening in the same window. This doesn't happen when launch explorer from the startmenu.

Produce : Always

Step to produce : [yzDock] Click ---> ie: my computer ---> explorer window ---> click any shortcuts from the left pane ---> new windows will open (i see 2 windows explorer open and see 2 processes explorer.exe running once check the task manager)

Expected behavior: Open in the same window and only one process explorer.exe running

( Solved ... not a bug my mistake....thx to riot )

2)- Recycle bin (image) not empty, though i delete/empty the recycle bin. Need to close/reopen the window to see the recyle bin (image) empty.

Produce : Always

Step to produce : Delete something (ie: unwanted file/doc.text etc) ---> Open explorer ---> you see in FindeXer (left panel), recycle bin fulled ---> try empty the bin ---> the image in left panel still showing its fulled ---> [need to close/reopen the explorer window,to see the bin empty]

Expected behavior: Once empty the bin, the left panel image should updated too (empty)

Sys Specs : WinXP Pro Sp.2, FindeXer V1.1 build #3, yzDock 0.8.3.....

ps: The best Finder clone ever (atm) ... KUDOS!!!

try Tools > Folder Options > View > Uncheck "Launch folder windows in a seperate process"

and that should fix that

alianyn can you help me?

[MickyS]

@Elijio

I would download the latest bulid again. Run unregister.bat. Delete the old findeXer.dll, replace it with the FindeXer.dll that you downloaded and run register.bat once again.

This may not do anything but it is worth a try. It certainly can't hurt anything.

Well, after hearing so many great things from this app. I've decided to install it on my PC. Everything went well during installation, and I could select FindeXer from the menu. Everything's working perfectly except the fact it wasn't showing up by default.

I checked registry entries, and Internet Explorer's "Enable Support for Third-Party Browse Extensions" option and everything seemed to be in order. I had pratically given up making it show up as default, and was about to move on with life, but I inserted a CD in my drive for some reason, and it auto-opened in Explorer and.. surprise surprise with FindeXer on by default. After doing some testing, I discovered that FindeXer only opens by default if Explorer's not in Tree View mode. So by adding a path to explorer when running it (e.g. "explorer.exe c:"), I made a shortcut that opens explorer with FindeXer by default. Hope that is of any help to those having problems with that. I, however use Winkey+E a lot, which opens explorer in tree view mode, and I would like to change that as well. Anyone knows how to change that?

PS : Sorry if this problem has been discussed previously, I did read the thread, but I may have overlooked something. I also saw some registry files floating around in Kabal's Finderbar thread, which appear to have something to do with Explorer's Tree View, but I don't know whether they can be used with FindeXer as well. (Don't wanna mess up explorer and end up killing tree view, since I still use that)

PS 2 : Awesome program, keep up the good work.

Cheers

Some of the shortcut key sequences (e.g., Winkey+e) may be hard coded and not open to manipulation. However, I haven't played with these to be certain.

I discussed creating Explorer shortcuts at the top of page 10...
