XYplorer Beta Club
I'm so excited by finally taking advantage of XY flexibility in its full extent that I decided to build a whole mod out of mainly my scripts covering this topic.
It's a brand new XYperience towards simplicity and user customization.
Included scripts and methods aimed to enhance interface and simplify access to all XY features and power delivering ways for the user to easily customize menus and appearance to its liking, thus providing a streamlined XYperience - especially for new users!
Together, those tools have the potential to save precious real estate on XY interface. Or even allow you to free some (tons, in fact! ^^) keyboard shortcuts. Mastering no more than 7 keyboard shortcuts, optionally displayed on title bar, you can go anywhere at anytime - settings, features, files or folders!
Some of the facilities include:
dynaBushes: a smart tree which guesses back and forth places the user may need to go from current path, plus special folders and drives. What about live-filtering the tree? All of this, right from the list!
QuickCustomMenuBuilder: ever wanted to combine your most used menu items into a single menu? Perhaps having custom menus for a per-task usage or even multi-menus with custom captions and distinctive icons? QuickCustomMenuBuilder is the way to go!
toolbooster: so you are a click-addict and miss a second, third or tenth toolbar. Well... toolbooster will be certainly your must pressed hotkey! Granted!
XarchitectY: arrangements, most used layouts, GUI element toggles, XY main window estate and position control. All is here.
flashFavs and smartFavs: what if your Favorites could auto-detect non-existent items? Or favorites files and folders being marked right into the list? Maybe you could find useful to live-filter your favorites? Hm?
Forum regulars may be familiar to my recent posts, but I'll expand this post a bit more for future reference anyway.
Several, if not *all*, of the included scripts are updated with bug fixes and extra features.
*How to Install*:
1. rename the attached file from XYplorer_MOD_by_SF.rar.xys to XYplorer_MOD_by_SF.rar, then unpack it (an "XYplorer_MOD" folder will be unpacked);
2. inside of that "XYplorer_MOD" folder, unpack the content of a no-install version (direct link: http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplor ... nstall.zip);
3. open the "XYplorer.ini" under "...\XYplorer_MOD\Data\" and add your license data - or insert it using "Help > Unlock Trial Version" dialog - then, it's advised to update the "tools > configuration > colors and styles > TEMPLATES > TITLEBAR" with
CTRL+G,AB|SHIFT=Favs,E|flash,F|toolb,V|bushes,T|XarchY,L|qcMENUb,Q || <tab><path> - <app> <ver>
so you can have those hints displayed on title bar all of the time. They are everything you may need in order to fully control XY from now on. (SHIFT+Z is the hotkey to access all themes-related scripts);
4. good to go!
This pack also includes some personal configs I find useful but may be missed by some users.
Enjoy!
