[deleted issue]

Rename window is working well, but I think it is too risky to let it go
ahead with renaming with regex.

It would help if - after we enter the search expression, we can test it to
see only a list of files that are going to be selected with this expression.

and then, after we enter the rename expression, may be it can show the
existing-name and renamed-name in pair for each file before hand and then
asks us to confirm whether we want to go ahead with such a renaming.

This way, the risk of messing up the entire folderful of files by a
shabbily created regex would be minimized.

Thanks.

One of the features of stexbar is to copy paths of selected files. You can 
actually do this in Vista, but perhaps nobody knows about it (I don't know 
how users are supposed to discover these things... maybe buy a "Vista 
Secrets" book or something?).

How to do it: With one or more files selected, hold down the "shift" key 
and right click on your selection. One of the context menu entries is 
now "Copy as path". It will copy the full path of the file(s), with each 
path surrounded by quotes.

Maybe this works in XP too, but I don't have an XP machine to try it on.

If a folder is already highlighted when you click New Folder (or press 
Ctrl-Shift-N), that folder gets renamed to the name of the new folder you 
just created with (2) appended.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Highlight a subfolder (by clicking once on it)
2. Click the New Folder button
3. Type "MyFolder" in the input box for the new folder

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The "MyFolder" folder gets created allright, but the folder that was 
highlighted gets renamed "MyFolder(2)".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
StExBar 1.4.3 on Vista Home Premium SP1

Please provide any additional information below.
This bug does not happen if there are no folders highlighted.

/*
    This was from a while ago!  I made this script to cleanup folders after
unzipping many
    things at once.  I always hated how some would zip their folders while
others would zip
    their items.  I just ended up extracting to a folder every time and then
checking each
    folder to see if it was redundant or not.  Like 

    finding
    ...\mystuff\mystuff\<files>
    and fixing it to be
    ...\mystuff\<files>

    All this does is spills any selected folder that contains precisely one
folder and no files.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Highlight a single file in a directory with multiple files
2. Click rename icon

I would expect for the single file to show up in the selection table. 
Instead all the files in the directory do.

I am using version 1.6.0 on XP SP3, latest patches.

While a legitimate question is "why not just hit F2 in explorer if you are
renaming a single file", often times I have selected a bunch of files and
done a complex regex rename.  I then find that I missed a single file in my
initial selection and it would be convenient to just highlight it, hit
rename, and OK (now that the last regex filter/rename is saved).  Also this
would be intuitive behavior as well?

Thanks for such an awesome toolbar!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run uninstaller from Programs and Features panel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: English text.
Actual: Text in German.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
StEx: 1.6.0
Windows Vista Professional 32Bit. English UI. Regional format set to 
English(United Kingdom)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Install StExBar, follow instructions on
http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/StExBarMore (close explorer windows, even
re-run explorer.exe).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see toolbar (or menu item under View->Toolbars) in windows
explorer.
Toolbar and menu are absent.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
StExBar64-1.5.1. Windows XP x64 SP2.

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems dll cannot be loaded. See attached screenshot.

Hello, 

thanks for providing this great helper! For me it removes the need for
bloatet mega-explorers like ultraexplorer. 

Its greatness would be even bigger if it would generate unc paths folders,
too, not only for files.  it's very handy to send folder urls to shared
drives in internal emails. 

Enabling the Stexbar by default when installing would easy deployment in an
organization al lot, too (or al least asking that in the installer).

Regards, 
Nikolaus

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get a second monitor.
2. Move an explorer window to the secondary monitor.
3. Hide/Collapse most of StExBar behind the address bar so all you have are
the >> arrows.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The popup is on right most side of the Primary monitor instead of the below
the arrows I just clicked.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5, Windows XP Pro SP2.

Please provide any additional information below.
Nothing to add. :D

Rename window shows the files in the order in which window returns the
list. These are not in sorted order.

It would help if the files can be shown in sorted order. Clicking on the
column title might be made to sort the list in ascending descending order.

Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click the Touch button
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that the touch time is the same as is shown in my task bar,
4:59pm, but instead a later time, 9:59pm, is shown. The difference is 5
hours, which is what I believe is the difference of my taskbar clock from
GMT. I am in the central US time zone, and it is currently Daylight
Savings, so my offset is -5:00.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest version (1.5.1)
2. Restart

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to be able to right click toolbar/menu areas of explorer and
enable "StExBar".  Accessing the same functionality via the menubar,
View->Toolbar->StExBar shows the same result.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5.1 on Windows XP SP3, latest patched/updates as of today

Please provide any additional information below.
I see some people use Process Explorer, DLL watchers, etc. to help debug,
let me know how I can help.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install and activate the bar. 
2. The bar forces the classic menus to appear.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The classic menus are ugly and take up a lot of space in Vista. I would 
suggest implementing the bar in Vista as a dropdown button/several buttons 
on the green stripe of the window instead. Alternatively, as a right-click 
submenu.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.0
Vista Professional 32bit

Please provide any additional information below.
The bar is incredibly useful, but it breaks flow and makes me 
uncomfortable, which is a deal breaker.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I Like to see one more feature:

Include functionality to change time stamps of files with an offset.

E.g.: Add check box "Modify time stamp by offset" or similar.

Regards,
Ulf

BTW: What does "Touch" do?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I don't know, but sometimes after use filter box we have duplicated name files

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6.0.187

Screenshot attached

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Adding additional access to options (via control panel maybe?) or...
2. ...by made removing shortcut to option forbidden
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I blocked myself an access to options (by this I mean configuration window)
by disabling the Options button - removing this button from StEx toolbar.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
StExBar-1.5.0.msi; Windows XP MCE SP3 English

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Ensure TortoiseSVN is installed and the folder containing
TortoiseProc.exe is added to the Path environment variable.
2. Create a new Custom Command to add a file to a SVN repository with the
following command line:
TortoiseProc.exe /command:add /path:"%selpaths"
3. Select a single file and press the new 'Add' Custom Command button 


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should pop up the TortoiseSVN Add dialog box. Instead it pops up a
MessageBox with an error saying 'Can't check path' and an extremely long
string of non-standard characters which it thinks is the file path.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'd like to know how I can create StExBar Custom Commands for TortoiseSVN.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type a filter in the Filter textbox. One or more files must be hidden
2. Change the Windows theme, for instance from Silver to Blue
3. Note that /all/ files are show again, even though the filter should
still be active
4. Clear the filter by double-clicking on it. Files that were hidden
earlier are now shown twice.
5. Press F5 to restore

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

If you press <Esc> when creating a new folder, you still end up with a
folder called "New Folder".
I know this is the default Window's behavior, but still it'd be nice 
if, after clicking on New Folder, I could press <Esc> to cancel.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Collapse toolbar so there is only the chevron.
2. Click on the chevron.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to the menus to be complete and the edit box to be displayed.
The resulting menu truncates all items and no edit box is displayed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.4.4.125 on Windows XP Media Center with SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently, we have to specify both upper/ lower case option for each letter
in our search regex.

As windows effectively consider small and capital letter same, even though
it shows them small or capital, but we can't have another file in the same
folder, one with small letter and another with capital letter at the same
place. In such a case, if we are specifying a small or a capital letter at
a place, it would match with all files having that letter at that place.

It would help if rename window gives some check box asking us whether we
can ignore case in the search regex. Then, it can match both small/ capital
case options for each letter.
--

But for rename name, the case difference can continue because someone might
want to use specific small/ capital letter to separate words in the same
long string.

Thanks.

Removing "Options" from the toolbar:
1. does not actually remove the Options Button/Text as it should
2. seems to prevent ever again being able to open the Options window, as
clicking on Options (after it has been "removed") doesn't seem to do anything.

Uninstalling, re-installing, repairing, etc. does not seem to fix this.

Just installed it and it is working great.

Faced a sort of deficiency in Rename feature. I laboriously enter a search
expression to locate some files, and then laboriously enter the "rename"
file name.

It does that well, but when I go to rename window again, it has forgotten
what I had entered the previous time, so I have to enter the same thing
again, in case my expressions are only slightly different from previous
Search/rename expressions.

Please make rename window remember previous a few search and rename
expressions, in pair.

Thanks.

When pressing the New Folder button or hotkey, use the text in the editbox 
as name.

Add double-click event ot editbox to clear content.

Add default commands/buttons for cut/copy/paste/delete

Would it be possible to implement Regular Expressions in the Filter Box?

I often find my self wanting to Invert the selection or to use RegEx to
filter my files/folders.

Thanks
Dave

Steps to reproduce:
- Want to add a new command, that takes the selected file as argument
- What's the syntax? No help for this... (or I missed it)

Version 1.4.3

*Update*

I've seen the tooltip! But it is not intuitive, IMHO; maybe a link "help"
that displays the tooltip would be better, as others may have missed the
help as I just did...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. None needed, just install


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Windows Classis looks fine, but when I select "XP style, Silver" there are
some small issues
- The background color of the toolbar buttons is slightly more pale than a
default toolbar 
- The Filter textbox's border is solid black, whereas the Address textbox
has some sort of grey-blueish border color
- If docked next to the "Standard" toolbar, buttons should have the same
height, but they are smaller.

And with XP Standard (blue)
- The toolbar buttons have some sort of 3D look over them, standard buttons
are flat.

Of course this is not a big deal, but if a product looks good it will be
accepted more easily by users, I think.

An improvement to the feature of Rename not only remember that the last term

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install it
2. Log out
3. Log in as a non-admin user

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I don't see the bar.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Winxp SP3 English fully patched and StExBar 1.5.0


Please provide any additional information below.
My default user is not an Admin User, so I can't access this bar.

1. Remove separator after Options, or after New Folder
2. Note that a new separator marked as a hidden system command and greyed
out now appears near the bottom of the list.
3. Remove the new separator. Fails.
4. Uncheck the 'separator' checkbox.
5. Note that a blank line appears in the list, and greyed out icon on toolbar.
6. Remove the blank line.
7. New separator is finally gone.

If I can't remove that separator the remove box should be greyed out.

1. Add a new separator.
2. Move it up one place so it comes between Rename and Notepad.
3. Edit the separator and uncheck the 'separator' checkbox.
4. OK --> Explorer crash
5. Each time explorer starts it crashes again. Only recovery is to locate
the commands.ini file and remove the rogue entry.

Should not be able to edit a separator. But in any case the ini file reader
needs to be more robust in case the content is invalid.

Using 1.44 on XP-SP3

A feature that would complete stexbar. Use the edit box, and as you type,
it will perform a regex search on the files in the current view, and only
show those that have a match.

E.g.

Files in view:

mytextfile.txt
animage.jpg
another.jpg
stexbar.zip

In the edit box, when you type: 'jpg' the following files will be the only
ones in the fiew:

animage.jpg
another.jpg

similarly, if you type: 'e':

mytextfile.txt
another.jpg
stexbar.zip

Some help about valid regex codes would be really helpful.

I think several sites are having list of unix/Linux regex explanation, but
which ones you have incorporated is not known. Even if you could give some
link where such a tutorial is available, that would help.

Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. click rename
2. type in match field the following two characters: [\
3. immediately an error occurs and explorer crashes

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
it shouldn't crash. it does crash

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.4

Please provide any additional information below.
Should be easy to fix

When I add/edit a command entry there are a load of checkboxes for when it is
enabled, but it is not at all clear whether they are ANDed or ORed.

In general they are OR'ed but in that context 'when anything is selected'
would seem to override all the others. And the number of items selected box
must be a restriction, not an OR.

Add ability to add/subtract some specified amount of time from each field,
possibly applying change to multiple files.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed 32bit version on vista sp1 from user account
2. Completed UAC challenge for admin auth
3. Install finished with no errors
4. No toolbar indication of stexbar in user account
5. switched users to admin account. stexbar in View toolbars list, can
activate and operate it.
6. Switch user back to user account. stexbar not shown, reboot and regedit
deletions of keys related to caching offer not help

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No indication in view toolbars of the stexbar

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vista sp1 

Please provide any additional information below.

When adding a custom command in the 'Command Line'& 'Icon' field, a browse
button would be highly useful as we don't have to first find the app/file
we need, then copy the path and paste it there.
With a browse button, we could simply browse to the application/folder we
want to include.
Also the same is for the icon value.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install StExBar 1.5.1 on top of v.1.4.4
2. Notice that the bar is not appearing and causing Explorer to crash 
when "invoked"
3. Uninstall StExBar and notice that, after reboot, there is still 
a "right click" entry for StExBar on Explorer. A quick search on regedit 
shows pleny of entries refering to StExBar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
 I expected to see no "entry" for StExBar on the right click list of 
toolbars for Explorer, and being able to reinstall the toolbar and getting 
it to work

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 v1.5.1 on Windows XP. Version 1.4.4 was working fine


Please provide any additional information below.

I made something similar to StExBar a while ago (no where near as clean
though!), so I'll probably be submitting a few scripts that went with it.

One of the problems I had to deal with was the character limit for command
line arguments.  Quite simply, too long a list of arguments causes a script
to fail.  One of the solutions I implemented was passing a single text file
containing the list of selected files.  Might you consider adding something
like that to your program (%selPathTxt rather than %selpath)?



Also, is there a procedure for modifying scripts after I submit them?

Thanks!

Recursive searching could be used... but why bother when you can use
scripts like this on search results!

By the way, selecting files doesn't matter (they're just ignored).
*/
Loop %0%
{
    folder := %A_Index%
    FileRemoveDir %folder%              ;this shouldn't be a problem for files, given
that Vista at least doesn't allow for a file and folder in the same
directory to have the same name.
}

Mostly, we copy some part from a file name that we intend to rename.

But then, we forget to unselect that file and when we go to rename, enter
our regex and rename strings, it has just changed that file whereas we had
wanted to change that regex allover.

I think it would be safe to assume that anyone could rename a single file
by explorer commands, no need to go through renamewindow/regex/rename
phrase entry.

So, please consider giving some option in rename window to rename only the
selected file(s) or rename all files in the folder that match.

Thanks.

My folder had 2306 files.

As soon as I enter characters in rename window search/ rename strings, it
goes ahead finding the files that match the criteria. It almost brings the
program to a halt. Later on when I entered last few chars, it was almost
taking 2-3 seconds between entering each successive char for me.

Please consider giving option to turn off live selection. The selection can
be find and 3 column info can be shown at the click of some button after
one has entered all information.

Thanks.

StExBar 1.4.3.109 on Windows XP Pro SP2:  I turned off the edit box, and
the StExBar now has two separators on the right end.  I can remove them in
the Options interface, but they are not actually removed.
