Plz tell me: What is this 'Portable' button in Option dialogs good for?
It asks 'Are you sure?' and always I'm not ;-)

Thx&regards
LiTe

Upgrading today took TE to a simple white empty window.
No more treeview, listview, bars or anything else.

Ok, I have Christmas Holidays and I should not work at the Computer, but ... ;-)

Hello,

the option of addon 'Favorites bar' gives left/right as location selections only.
I know: Vertical screen space is valuable ;-) , but how about to add top/botton option, too?

I switched from no more further developed Clover Explorer to Tablacus Explorer and I'm still
searching my favorites bar on top.

Thx&Regards

I am trying a translation into (Brazilian) Portuguese.
There are some words that I would like you to clarify the meaning:
Init
EnumFlags
Expandos
Spring expand

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have created a German language file for Tablacus Explorer.
First tests were fine, some (just a very few) translations are hard
to do from English to German. So far I have left them in original version.

How can I send this de.xml file to you?

btw: many thx for Tablacus Explorer!
Great tool. I will go ob exploring it.

LiTe

This is probably already possible, but I can't find it in the documentation. How can I open only one folder location without seeing the previously opened folders (the history)? To do this I use PowerShell to open just one folder like this:

Start-Process 'S:\Tools\TablacusExplorer\TE64.exe' -ArgumentList 'S:\My folder'

After executing this line it does open the folder 'S:\My folder' but also some other folders from the history. How is it possible to have it only open this 1 folder and nothing else?

I'm also trying to find the switches that are possible by typing 'TE64.exe /?', but this doesn't work. It works for other applications like this 'Robocopy.exe /?'.

Thank you for your help.

Is it possible to open 2 windows? Instead of two panes side by side?

Moving many files or large dragged between panes block tablacus until finish.

Suggestion for default hotkey CTRL+E to focus filter like windows explorer. (I use it)

How can I get bigger line hight in the details view?

I'd like to code an addon for Tablacus Explorer. It seems easy, it just javascript/html/css. So, it would be nice if I could debug addons code with any kind of log or console. It's a great tool not only for debugging but for learning also.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have tried the newest addon Total File Size Sort. It's good, but I don't use a single toolbar at the top (I use 4 separate views with inner buttons) so having a single button to activate this size sort is ugly, and uses precious vertical space (especially on laptops with 16:9 screens).
I suggest you add an optional inner button for size sort, and also a menu item. Maybe you could add a new menu for addons, like "Utilies" or similar, and put there the option to size sort (and others).
Thanks!

The sort order of addon list (most recently used addon on very bottom) is great to fast change settings in addons you have changed already last times.
But to search for a special addon in a longer collection (actually I have about 50 addons installed ...) would be easier, if I could switch to sort by alphabet.

Maybe it 's helpfull to add a direkt "jump" (button [Update Addons] ) from TE 'About/Update' - dialog to the Add addons' - Dialog. This way ist clear there are two steps neccessary to update everything.

Hi Gaku
Using TE ver. 15.11.8 with Win7(Home Premium) on Toshiba P500

Sometimes when using the folder tree, I click on a folder to open it. The whole tree shifts and I am located in a completely different folder. It happens especially if I click on the triangle left of folder name that shows subfolders, but also if I hover over the triangle to open the sub-folder list.

Sometimes it works fine, other times it is really difficult.

Great software, though!

As the topic says.

I prefer a message commit like
"13.11.10 - Fix minor bugs" (http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~gakana/tablacus/history/)
better than just
"13.11.10"

NOTE: I could say the same for TablacusExplorerAddons repository.

Hi Gaku
Using TE ver. 15.11.8 with Win7(Home Premium) on Toshiba P500

Wonderful software! Congratulations on producing the first REAL alternative to Windows Explorer (and I've tried a few!)

I have a few issues (of course, with new software), which I will open separately. The most major is that three times now I have dragged and dropped files (same partition) using TE and the files have completely disappeared from my computer: They are not active on the disk, not in the recycle bin and no file recovery software that I have tried has been able to find them. I am not dreaming: I have been able to recover the files from backups - they really did exist. It is weird, I know, but they do sometimes just disappear. I have searched thoroughly using variations on the name and extension but no luck.

I haven't had time to investigate why myself. Could TE be using write/delete method and the write is failing, leaving only delete? Perhaps it is using write/rename? I wanted to flag this to see if others have found this problem too. Most times it works fine, but if it doesn't work EVERY time it is dangerous...- an app-killer. Please check and advise.

Hi,
cannot load windows share (like \servername\foldername) that requires authentication.
I have to authenticate using windows explorer, then accessing with Tablacus works correctly.
I think Tablacus should ask for password directly.
Thanks.

I 've installed X-Finder addon and I guess I need some help in using it :-)
Afaik X-Finder comes from Apple OS world.

I see X-Finder in Options / Reference to add a function to an entry, but which syntax this commands follow? (e.g: Foreach: or Rename: ) Some examples would be helpfull.

Thx for any advice!

I'd like to see the following addons.

• Inner Breadcrumbs Address Bar.
• Inner Filter Bar.

By the way, I think filter icon is not a magnifying glass or lens, it's a funnel.

Thank you.

I'd like to code a TablacusExplorer addon butI don't know how trigger a event in Tablacus Explorer.
For example, we have StatusBar addon listener

  AddEvent("StatusText", function (Ctrl, Text, iPart) ...

but I don't know how trigger that StatusText event (from another addon, for example).
If only I could have more TablacusExplorer developer documentation.

Thank you.

Hi Gaku
Using TE ver. 15.11.8 with Win7(Home Premium) on Toshiba P500

Sometimes I click on a folder in the folder tree and the contents of that folder are not shown in the contents pane. It is possible to produce a similar effect by navigating with the cursor keys - this is the same in Windows Explorer - annoying but acceptable. But clicking on a folder should show the contents in the linked window. Possibly a problem with interpreting the single-click event? My computer is set to open folders with a single-click, but sometimes (not all the time) a double-click is required in TA Tree view. Not critical, but annoying.

Hello,

This is a feature/bug report

In windows explorer when we double click a folder with CTRL pressed it opens a new tab, it's not working in tablacus 15.4.5

Best regards,

What about uploading addons code to Github? One repository for every addon but only one account (tablacus).

I 've just discovered: In regular Explorer you can instantly delete a folder or file by selecting 'Delete' in context menu with Shift key pressed.
In Tablacus Explorer this takes the folder to wastebox, too. Shift key doesn't change anything in behavior anymore.

Hi,
I found some bugs:

1. if I cut (ctrl-x) a file saved on the Desktop and then I paste in a Tablacus window it doesn't move the file (or copy if I use ctrl-c).
2. I have enabled total size for directories in the details view. Here is how to reproduce the bug: I have two dirs, one saved into another (nested), like innerDir contained into outerDir. In innerDir there are some files. I go to outerDir and cut (ctrl-x) the innerDir. Then I go in another dir and I paste the dir (ctrl-v). The bug is that the outerDir size is not updated. Even if I hit refresh the dir has the wrong size. To see the right size I have to change dir and then go back.
3. I see some strange behaviour regarding auto refresh: after file operations (like copy) sometime the detail view is auto refreshed, but often it isn't. (in Windows Explorer auto refresh always work). Can you fix it? (I like auto refresh, but maybe making it optional is better for other people).

thank you for this great program!

Hello,

When opening a path Network share or Local that we do not have permissions or the path does not exist, there is no error box or popup warning. We stay in same folder and it does nothing.

In some of your XML files Tablacus is misspelled Tablcus.

With option 'Take over the Explorer View' the addon 'Open instead' catches all Explorer Windows and takes them to a Tablacus Explorer tab. That 's a great feature!

Sometimes you want to have an "original" Explorer window. You can select this in context menu of tabs with 'Open in Explorer'. But this Window gets immediatly catched by addon, too :-)

Is it possible to prevent this?

Thx and regards
LiTe

Hi,
found a problem with tabs showing a path that is not existent anymore (like a pendrive that is removed). This can happen when I open a tab on a pendrive, then close tablacus (it saves the tab path) and then I remove the pendrive. Next time I open tablacus there is a tab with the "invalid" path.
In this situation I double clicked on the empty space in the list view of such a tab and got this error:

I saw this error several times, then all the tabs vanished, but the views were still working.
Then I tried closing tablacus window and I got this other error:
.
Maybe on startup you can automatically close these "invalid" tabs, or perhaps just redirect to the "default" view of tabs, like as an example to My Computer).
Thanks you.

Dear gaku,

I translate Tablacus Exporler to french.language.
But I don't know how to upload xml or zip file then I put the xml file in a docx container.
tablacus_fr.docx

Send me an email in case of problem.

"systray" markup in english language is erroneous -> "sysray"

Some markers are not explicit for me :
"Hot track"
"Single selection"
"No client edge"
"Run Dialog"
"Shell Browser"
"Explorer Browser"

Hi,
I'm using "folder settings" addon to set a default column layout for all folders, using the * character as filter.
It's working as intended for fixed disks, but it doesnt work for mtp device (my android phone).
I have tried configuring the filter, but when I try to "get the current folder view" I get this:

::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\?\usb#vid_05c6&pid_6765&mi_00#6&16cc529&0&0000#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\SID-{10001,,58918895616}{0000005C-0001-0001-0000-000000000000}{00003745-0001-0001-0000-000000000000}

I have also problems copying files to mtp device when "multi process" addon is enabled.

Hello,

I succeded adding a context menu entry 'open in new tab' to tree.
But type 'Selected Items' with reference 'open in new tab' doesn't gives me
expected action.
I know: 'Selected itemS' is wrong. It 's just ONE seleced item, but I cannot
find anything else fitting better.

Is it possible to do? How?

Thx and regards
LiTe

It's a nice app and i like it.

but i often meet this issue, then i must reconfigure it to make it normal again.

i think it is related about i used network disk, but for avoid this issue, i keep to make the link active before open TE, but it's still there.

many thanks for you app

Hi,
I want to use Tablacus because of its add-ons architecture (in the past I used Q-Dir, but it has not add-ons.)
But Q-Dir has a feature that I use: the ability to show the size of directories in the detail view.
It's very important to me, can you add this feature to Tablacus? (as an option, disabled by default).
Thanks!

Hi Gaku
Using TE ver. 15.11.8 with Win7(Home Premium) on Toshiba P500

I think this may happen after the machine returns from hibernation, not sure. Suddenly I find there is a "Tablacus" task in the task bar but I am not able to switch to it. The process is still running, but no windows are associated with it and it is not responding to the "Switch to window" event. It does respond to the "Close Window" event, after which it disappears.

I am worried about how to implement new functions.

How to change the color of the font on the list view.

What kind of method do you want to change the color of the font on the list view?

• Attribute (Directory/System/Hidden etc.)
• Extension
• Wildcard and/or regular expression

Will you need character decoration? (bold/italic/etc.)

Format of size.

What kind of format do you want other than "KB"?

• Byte only 1,404 / 1,778,176
• Auto 1.37 KB / 1.69 MB
• MB fixation 0.00 MB / 1.70 MB
• Other

Best regards,

I really love this little app and have been using it for quite some time now. However, there's a small annoyance that is still there in the newest version I just downloaded from the website.

The first time you open a path it opens correctly. The second time, when you change the path name it opens the previous path. When running the command again for a second time on the new path it does open it correctly.

It seems like something is wrong with the switches, as it doesn't work correctly from the first time. In the PowerShell ISE you can try the following the see what I mean:

# Path 1 opens correctly
$linklabelHomeFolder = '\\domain.net\path1'
Start-Process 'S:\Test\Brecht\te150804\TE64.exe' -ArgumentList """Tabs,Close other tabs"" ""Open,$($linklabelHomeFolder)"""

Then close Tablacus and run this:

# Path 1 still opens instead of Path 2
$linklabelHomeFolder = '\\domain.net\path2'
Start-Process 'S:\Test\Brecht\te150804\TE64.exe' -ArgumentList """Tabs,Close other tabs"" ""Open,$($linklabelHomeFolder)"""

Then close Tablacus and run this again:

# Path 2 now opens correctly
$linklabelHomeFolder = '\\domain.net\path2'
Start-Process 'S:\Test\Brecht\te150804\TE64.exe' -ArgumentList """Tabs,Close other tabs"" ""Open,$($linklabelHomeFolder)"""

Hi,
I have find a bug: in detail view it does not remember what column I have chosen, and the sizes of the culumns. As an example it always uses a column name of size 580 (but I want a smaller default size).
I also tried addon FolderSettings but it doesn't work: I add a filter i the option, but then it doesn't use Date Modified, but uses always Date, and doesn't remember other columns.
Can you fix it? Thanks!

First this is the most complete and functional explorer alternative :)

Normally Tablacus is very responsive, my problem is when I open 'My Computer' from the start menu it freezes for 20 seconds.

In writing this post I found 'the thing'. Having 'Stripes' activated and in 'My Computer' view is tiles it freezes.

I have also did this to make it the default explorer

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\open\command]
"DelegateExecute"=""
@=""C:\OSFP\app\Tablacus\TE32.exe" %1"

(this can be a suggestion of feature for 'Open instead' so we can chose how we will prefer the integration with the environment)

Hi,
what about creating a new addon: inner create new folder ?
I use a 4 view layout, and for each view I use all the inner buttons, like forward, backward, up, refresh.
I really like to have an inner "new folder" button too!
Thanks!!!!!!

Hi, I'm using the two addons:

1. "folder settings" addon, to set "default" layouts for details columns for various folders/devices (ie c:, MTP devices, etc). The default columns I chose is: name, date modified, total file size, order by name.
2. "remember folder view settings" addon, to occasionally set exceptions to the default layout from "folder settings" addon (es sort by desc date for Downloads folder only)
   It almost works, but sometimes I get the default column layout of windows, not the "default" I chose in addon 1. When this happens I have to manually adjust columns, and it's really annoying.
   Can you fix this?
   Thank you.

Web browsers and tools like Notepad++ do very well in changing the font size: You just hold Ctrl-key pressed and use mouse scroll wheel. A feature I really appreciate after my eye operation...

It is possible to change font size of Windows listview control in details mode, but MS doesn't give us freedom to do this in regular Explorer.

Is it (maybe) possible to get this in Tablacus Explorer?
(Ok, Ctrl + mouse wheel is already used for changing view mode, but maybe Ctrl+Shift+mousewheel or a simple value number at config dialog ...)

Just one suggestion. What about redisign configuration window layout? I mean something like VLC or Conemu settings. For example, look at this screenshot http://i.stack.imgur.com/GLrXD.png . It's the usual way: a tree sidebar. I think it's better, cleaner than the actual tabs + accordion (buttons).

Thank you for Tablacus!

I 've tried to translate menu entries added by addon (e.g. 'Undo close tab') by adding a translation line into language file. As far as I can see addon strings will not be substitued there actually.

How community can help in translations of addons and in more detailed descriptions of the function an addon gives?

Thx and regards
LiTe

btw: The flexibilty and power of Tablacus Explorer is awesome!

Today, I fixed Main Menu add-on.
[Alt key] + [Alphabet] Run menu shortcut keys

Shortcut "Archivo" and "Ayuda" the same.
I think you had better change &Ayuda to A&yuda or Ay&uda.

Not important to functionality, but to make people 'Like it!' on first sight is a cool, modern look of a software.
Actually you can change TE 's tab color when Tab Plus is installed, checkbox 'background' there is activated and 'Change Tab Color' is installed, too.

Maybe it is possible to add a simple kind of 'skin' system to allow the tabs been drawn in different styles. Just a selectable .XML-file, responsible for drawing the tabs.

E.g. abandoned filemanager 'Clover' has this style for its tabs: http://ejie.me/images/clover.jpg

When iam renaming a folder and use 'CTRL - Left Arrow' instead of jumping a word in the name changes to another tab.

In tree part of TE deleting a folder by pressing key DEL (to recyclebin) or Shift-DEL (instant delete) isn't possible anymore. Just the context menu opens when this key is pressed.

Hi,
I'm using split plugin 4x4. sometimes while dragging a file between two windows I get this error:

The problem goes away if I restart the application.

It doesn't work as expected. Every time I restart the application, I have to "group by" the files again. It does work well with folder size and "sort by", but it cannot remember the "group by" instructions.
