thanks for your software
i want the qttabbar can move to bottom of the windows explorer,but above of status-bar.

Dear Quizo.
Thank you for this excellent shell extension. I have been using it since its first betas when I had to translate your japanese page to english using google.
It feels awkward to request more when you have got so much going already. This is the first thing I install whenever I inslall XP!
I truly desire your extension to become more of a poweruser essential than a nice interface addon.
Can you make another toolbar which can be used like a vertical launcher as in vista, like FindeXer (a Mac OS-X Finder clone for explorer) which is integrated with QTTabBar i.e.
a QTFinderBar :D wherein shortcuts could be dragged and dropped.
Also, if the QTTabDesktopTool could accept custom images/skins.
Thank you.
When you right click a tab, and set "Lock", can this be saved in groups, so when you open explorer a tab would be locked if saved in groups that way.
Thanks

I have a request. Thank you for making this wonderful program, I use it along strokeit all the time.
Is it possible to make an exited folder collector for this program? I sometimes exit out accidentally and I have to go to the path again. Something like…
First…let me say I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!! BEAUTIFUL WORK!!
I just have two minor requests, if possible.
Can you create an option to disable the shadows around the image previews? It's just because I have a shadow program - YzShadow - for my windows and it looks weird when combined with QTTabBar's shadows…
And last: can you get rid of size limit of video previews? I have a lot of videos from traveling - mpeg files that are more than 250MB but QTTabBar won't show me previews, I guess because they're so big. If you can enable QTTabBar to give image preview for very large mpeg file, that would be great!
Thanks again:)!!
Never mind about video size limit - I found out another program I had before (mPowerTools) was causing their 250MB limit to affect QTTabBar's mouseover preview function. Uninstalled mPowerTools completely and now QTTabBar's preview works on ALL video files - sorry:)
Image preview for .pdf and .doc files…?
Thank you for such a great program:)
You can use mystic thumbs, but is a propertary software.

Works exelent!!
Where can I download preview handler for .pdf and .doc files? I'm running Windows XP Pro.
I have Adobe Acrobat Professional (and of course Microsoft Word 2003) and I added the extensions to QTTabBar options, but I still don't get a preview for .pdf or .doc files…? Can anyone help?
Beautiful program, btw, Quizo — thanks:)
I have a request to have a way to have an exclusion list of folders that are opened externally will not automatically go into existing explorer window that already has it open. I know this sounds strange that I want this, but I use Altdesk and opening "Computer" from desktop while on a different desktop that is already open on another will cause it to switch desktops. Leaving the desktop that I wanted the folder opened in. Or the best would be if The way Altdesk has windows viewed could be accessed so it would work in the same manner as if there was only one desktop. If further explanation is required, I will explain in detail. Thanks
AltDesk has a setting that can used so that it doesn't automatically switches to active application.
Change the falg (… something like "Automatically swith to active application … or something - I am noy using AltDesk anymore)
Good daytime. Thank you for you excellent shell extensions. My question is about QTAddressBar.
It works fine with local folders and files and "windows shares". And is there any support for FTP?
Now I can open ftp path with the help of standard address bar and then it appears in QTAddressBar as "Internet Explorer > path", but I can't open FTP paths directly from QTAddressBar. I am single to have this problem, or it is known issue?
So, my request: if possible please add support for FTP and support for opening HTTP url's in default browser. Then I'll forget about default address bar =)
Thank you in advance. And sorry for my english =)
Hallo!
I would love if it would be possible to configure how QTTabBar opens a tab. For example: I am used to Firefox and in Firefox a new tab is opened by clicking a link with STRG and not SHIFT held down. Also I have the problem that when I use SHIFT to open a new tab, I am always opening a lot of new tabs because I automatically highlight a lot of folders.
By giving QTTabBar to the world you did an awesome job. I really appreciate this software! Thanks!!!
I would also appreciate if CTRL and SHIFT could be switched, so that CTRL+Left click opens a new tab instead of a new window.
Hi there,
I'm playing around with QTAddressbar, and I like it. I like having the history of folder views, but it gets filled up very quickly navigating through my hard drive. The method of using <CTRL>+<DEL> to delete seems only works for individual entries, one-at-a-time. It would be nice to 'reset' the history occasionally. Would it be possible, (under options maybe) for a single button to clear the history?
Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Now is in the correct place
Hello, this is the best add for windows xp that I have seen. Congratulations.
My request:
1) In the contextual menu over a folder a simple text "open in a new tab" just like firefox.
2)
Another one, is it possible in any way to open a text file or image in a new tab like that the explorer tab has the notepad or paint or image viewer "plugin" or a pdf.
I mean something like kde in linux where you open a txt or other files in the same tab.
Thanks in advance. keep it going!
You can get the chromium tabs at the google code repository, if you could work this into the program, or even release the code so i could piece it together, it would be much appreciated.
maybe it is already possible. then can you tell me how but.. about the file preview to choose self 2 or more extensions to preview.. like.. .txt, .cmd, .lst .. now i can only choose one
greets
Hello,
First of all, QTTabBar is an excellent enhancement.
I think that some enhancements might take it to the next level:
1) Add shorcut to undo current filter
2) Add shortcut to sort by modification time/size/file name/type
3) Add support for multiple filters
4) Open zip and other archives inside the window's explorer
Many thanks for your response, Great job!!
Hello, you made the first post :-)
>1) Add shorcut to undo current filter
Do you mean "clear filter" by "undo filter"?
if so, pressing F5 key clears filter.
>2) Add shortcut to sort by modification time/size/file name/type
that may be realized by a plugin and worth a try.
thank you for givin me a hint of new plugin :-)
>3) Add support for multiple filters
by tags or timestamp etc.?
I once implemented it for a try and am wondering about UI.
>4) Open zip and other archives inside the window's explorer
I think zip files are supported by explorer.
Didn't you ever uninstall zipfldr.dll of Windows?
Other than zip/cab, need install shell extension dlls (if exist).
if you say create those, it's difficult for me.
sorry for my poor english.
Wow, that was fast :)
The F5 and zip shell workaround are great, I wasn't aware of it, thanks.
In the "support multiple filters", I thought of something simple: if I type something like "txt moduler" or "qttab 45", only files containing BOTH substrings in their file name will be displayed. Nothing more complex than that.
Thanks for the quick response.
Good stuff!
Another thought about filters:
User defined predefined filters, which can be accessed by acclerator keys.
"AND" filter is not currently implemented.
It's not impossible by using Regular Expression.
To search items that contain both "abc" and "xyz",
/abc.*xyz|xyz.*abc/
but it's too complex so I consider "AND" on next update.
FYI, "OR" is simple.
/abc|xyz/
Hello,
Thank you for programmin QTTab Bar…
In Response to "Anonymous (212.143.114.158) 4 Dec 2007, 16:29 +0100"
i would like to say it would be great if there would be a possibiltity to add a multiple sorting like
modification time, size…
i would need it since i use tortoise-svn…
this programm adds some new "column names". I mean in the area of the explorer when you have details-view on you have there some collumns with collumnheaders like name, size, type and so on…
there the tortoise programm adds a new collumn named "CVN Lock Owner". What i need is to sort my explorer first for these entries an within these entries to sort them for name or modification time…
Is there any possibility to add this functionality?
thanks in advance

Hello,
This stuff u made is awesome, but I'd like to integrate the search function in the tab bar, or just disable som other functions because I use the normal forward/back function, and I don't want so many bars in my Explorer … is it possible just to see the search function? if not I would make a request to do so :-)
Hi,
you can remove all buttons but a search box by right-clicking on ButtonBar -> "Customize…".
I will not add the search box to tab bar.
It works .. thx again … I didn't want it in the tab bar .. just in the space of the tab bar what is now possible for me .. thx
keep it going like that ur great!
How about adding some type of search in QTAddressbar - because now, it does nothing if you just type something and hit Enter. I mean, it is a text-input field already, why add another input-bar just for search, when QTAddress could do both? I like to have as few as possible..
QTAddressBar could search:
a) Current folder (like search in TabBar does)
b) entire computer for given term
c) Google (with default browser)
I would like b or c very much.
Thanks so much for your awesome addons!

Hi,
just want to say thanks for a great piece of software. It shows just how limited explorer is by default. Its enhanced my work flow tremendously however, i now have a 64bit OS (XP x64) and your software will not work! please say you will be releasing a 64bit version!
thank you,
but i don't have 64bit environments so currently i cannot test.
I heard that some errors occur in 64bit windows.
Shell behaviors may be different from 32bit or I may have done stupid mistakes,
but I don't know how or why.
some day I want to buy Core2Duo machine!
QTTabBar and QTAddressBar are amazing! Great job. I've installed them on all my computers ;)
I understand if it's not possible, but can you make it possible to disable the "Office XP" style look on the toolbars/menus? Especially on the "QT Tab Standard Buttons", it's very out of place compared to the rest of Explorer.
Great job, though! You've made a very useful tool, especially with all the extra things you can change in it (not just tabs).
I second this request. It'd be nice if I could have standard explorer toolbars/menus which then could be skinned by WindowBlinds :)
Hello,
I'm french, i have tested your soft, where is the méthod to uninstall your product
thanks
Just launch the installer again and choose uninstall ;-)
Hello,
Many, many thanks for the excellence of QTTabBar for Visita. I can no longer imagine using Vista without it! (I have donated.)
Here's a suggestion for the CreateNewItem Plugin: In its main dialog, add the option 'None' for the enumeration of Base Names. This way it will be possible to create, for example, a new folder with its name without a '0' following it that requires the Rename operation in Explorer.
Indeed, this option should be included in the "Save as default" process. I suspect many users would be overjoyed to finally have the functional equivalent of a New Folder button in Vista's Explorer (as it now exists in Vista's 'Save As' dialog).
Additionally, I would like to recommend that you use Vista's shell32 206, 16 x 16 XP icon for the toolbar button, since it is already Vista's default for this operation and provides higher contrast and so better visual recognition than the present one.
The very best of wishes for you in the New Year!
I second this. i've been looking all over for something like that. Total Commander has the function, but i like QTTABbar better. thanks for the great program.
I also second this message. A New Folder button would be excellent! I know BxNewFolder has that feature, but I have completely disabled the standard buttons and would like to use QTTabBar buttons only.
I don't know, if this is only a request area for QTTabbar not for the others or such, but i have a few suggestions for QTTabbar & QTAddressbar.
For QTTabbar:
Is it possible to seperate the search into a new little bar, to place it right from QTAddressbar?
For QTAddressbar:
Is it possible to add the two navigation buttons for Back & forward left from it and make them customizable? That would be excellent for the case a user want to combine functionality from QTAddressbar with Styler Toolbar (in Styler Toolbar it's possible to remove the addressbar).
In any case, both programs are excellent :)
QTTabbar is excellent tool, I always loved explorer simplicity, user interface and the native feel
working with the task than doing something with a special tool!, after
trying so many explorer replacements, I always revert back to explorer, QTTabbar addressed the
limitations of explorer wonderfully and gave the functionality of replacement explorers. Cheers.
Now, Greedy wish ;) I loved the folders/files as context menu (Subfolder tip menu),
I created shortcut key Alt+M, it works like a charm, it works even for shortcut links on desktop like
My Computer (thats great!)…Now I would like to invoke the subfolder tip menu, while I work on any
application, that way it will be fastest navigation!
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot,
Santhosh R
Hi Quizo. Would it be much trouble to add a "spring loaded folder" feature as in OSX ? It would be nice if folders would open automatically when you drag and hover above a folder icon. Thanks.
I retract that request :) . I see now that the contents list pops up when you drag a file and hover over a folder. An option to set the hover time might be useful however.
