2. an easy way to select non consecutive files using the keyboard
for e.g. in win explorer you hold down the ctl key, then move down with arrow key and select individual files with space key
3. an option in picture tools to resize or compress
either in terms of percentage (10 - 30 - 50 %) or in a few predefined resolutions (small - medium - large)
4. change of the arrow behavior during rename function
I explain. after you press "rename" or f2, the selected ......
2. Im note sure what you mean with this.
3. You mean like a quick zoom feature. pressing shortcut x and it wlil got to 10% and pressing y it will got to 20 % ?
Or do you mean that it should resize and save the image to disk ?
4. This is fixed in v2.5.1

I reply here because the other thread is locked
2. it is clear if you try it in win explorer
you scroll down in a list with the arrow key, stop on a file so this file is selected (highlighted), press CTRL key (and keep it pressed), scroll further down, stop on another file and press spacebar. then this file is also selected. (You can also deselect a selected file with the spacebar)
It is all similar to CTRL + left mouse click
3. I mean it should resize and save the image to disk (with a different filename or an option to replace the old one). It could be very well combined with the "picture format conversion" in "picture tools"

2. Didn't even know you could do that with Windows Explorer. I will see it is possible to add it.
3. Ahh Like a "Save As.." option that also allows for resizing.. Had "save as" on my list. but also doing resize while you add it might be useful, Will update my list with that.

My votes...
- Thumbnail view in Explorer Panel, Show all files with a larger image that is a Thumbnail of the file if the file is a picture file.
(Thumbnails in both list and detail mode have been requested,
in detail mode there would be possible to show more picture info in multiple lines next to the image)
- Show a Preview pane in the opposite panel
- Show System/Hidden files with a special or lighter color.
- Able to Custom colors for file and folder based on name, date, attributes and state (selected, focus, normal)
- Customize the color the progress bar that are shown in the status bar. And have different color for different action
eg. Green for copy, Blue for move, Red for delete.
- Customize the colors for the Column header, and Toolbar background, status bar.
- Customize the background color for the dropdown list
- Customize the colors for the command line field.
- Tool for splitting and joining files
And the point on filesize numbers ex: the programs show "0 K/3 911 883 K in 2/1238 Files... " may be "0 K/3.911.883 in 2/1.238 Files...."
Thanks Mathias.
PD: Remember my old post...

Any chance to customize the color of progress bar operation. Example:
Copy progress bar (Green color)
Deleting progress bar (Red color)
Moving progress bar (Yellow color)
Compressing archive (Blue color)
Uncompressing archive (Orange color)
Will be more highlighting and easy to view the current transferring work.
Thanks. ;)

--- Quote from: Mathias (Author) ---Flatview Showing all files and folders and subfolders together
Not sure if it is possible. But do you not get that behavior if you open search, and search for everything in one folder.
Then all files and folders and subfiles and subfolder are shown in the search result.
Maybe the search need to support for more file system functions so the thing you want to do with files/folder when presented like this can be done here?
--- End quote ---
SubDir Branch View | FlatView | Flatten Files
---> No Directories appear in the list
---> A Single Click on the Command or Button does the Search
---> Path Tabstop is optional
All Searches below are performed with *.* [ x ] Wildcard.
--- Quote ---#1) With File Search, Directories will appear if they have a 'dot' in their name.
#2) With File Search, No files, or only a single Folder's contents will be displayed if you activate Attributes (and don't click on any of the subsequent attributes).
#3) With File Search, No files, or only a single Folder's contents are displayed if you activate Attributes and deselect [] Directory.
#4) With File Search, you cannot select specific folders, then search and have the search only look in those folders.
#5) With File Search, you have a different context menu (right click)
#6) With File Search, you cannot quick filter the panel.
#7) With File Search, the Search Appears in the other panel.

So if there was a Flatten All (or Selected) Folders, a few changes would be required:
--- Quote ---A) Hide Filters should work on the list (e.g. Hide Folders, etc).
B) Quick Filter should work on the list.
C) When you Flatten Folders, if there is at least one folder selected, then
-----> ALL of the other folders should be automatically added to the Exclusion List.
D) When you exclude a Folder from within the Panel's context menu:
-----> The excluded folders should be added to the Find Files Exclusion List.
E) The normal context menu should be available, perhaps via Ctrl or Shift + RButton.
F) An option to have the Flattened View displayed in the current tab, instead of the other pane.
------> The type of tab would change, from a Normal Tab to a "File Search" type tab.
------> It's name should stay the same.
------> The icon of the tab should become a Magnifying glass.
------> The tab colour would match that of File Search.
G) [..] UpDir should appear in the Flattened View.
------> Clicking on it, should revert the "File Search|Flattened" Tab to a normal tab - in the same folder you were when you performed the Flatten Files.
--- End quote ---
Aside from "F" most of the other changes shouldn't require much in the way of code changes.
Although depending on how Filtering is done in the File Panels that code may need to change.
File Searches can be saved as LST files.
File Searches can be restored.
When you take all that into consideration, there is a significant overlap in the features of Flattened Folders, Virtual Folders, and File Search.
If you consider that:
1) A File Search is basically a Virtual Folder (since you don't have a standard context menu)
2) A File Search contains the results of SOME (or all) Files of SOME (or all) Folders that have a similiar root.
Given that, a Virtual Folder could easily be ANY files from ANY path.
There could be one or more ways to view these virtual folders:
Virtual Folder sorted by Name (no code change required):
--- Quote ---Folder#1
Folder#2
Folder#3
Example File1 in Folder#1.txt
Example File1 in Folder#2.txt
Example File1 in Folder#3.txt
Example File2 in Folder#1.txt
Example File2 in Folder#2.txt
Example File2 in Folder#3.txt
--- End quote ---
Virtual Folder sorted by Path (no code change required):
--- Quote ---Folder#1
Example File1 in Folder#1.txt
Example File2 in Folder#1.txt
Folder#2
Example File1 in Folder#2.txt
Example File2 in Folder#2.txt
Folder#3
Example File1 in Folder#3.txt
Example File2 in Folder#3.txt
--- End quote ---
In both of these cases, one could then [Hide Folders].
Additional Code would be required:
1) Dragging a file to a Virtual Folder, adds that file to the LST.
2) Deleting a file from a Virtual Folder, removes that file from the LST.
3) Dragging a file OUT of a Virtual Folder to a Normal Tab -> Makes a copy of the file.
4) An additional, optional, Ctrl+Delete that would allow you to delete the REAL file.
Thus,
A File Search is a Virtual Folder with a Search for some or all files from a similiar Root.
A Flattened Folder is a Virtual Folder with a Search for ALL files from a similiar Root.
A Virtual Folder is a ... Virtual Folder that contains files from any Root.

First, thanks for the excellence program.
My requests:
1. Open a cmd window from here. Right click on a folder and have an option to "Open cmd window from here", with the folder path set as current directory in cmd. Also, an option to "Open cmd as administrator from here"
2. Predefined target directories for Copy and Move operations. Let users pre-define target directories. Once copy or move was invoked, prompt user for target selections.
