Hi,
option to turn on/off info is under consideration.
I think image quality depends on preview scaling size,
it is now smaller by info area.

I try scrolling by mouse wheel on next version.

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

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:)!!

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

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!!!

Re: Requests

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.

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!

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!!

Re: Requests

Quizo 1196790632|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

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!

Re: Requests

Anonymous (212.143.114.x) 1196931805|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Another thought about filters:
User defined predefined filters, which can be accessed by acclerator keys.

Re: Requests

Quizo 1197029010|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

"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

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!

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).

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 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?

One more thing. If you have time,maybe you could update the View Mode plugin for Vista. It does work but it doesn't show the proper display format for the specified setting. Maybe a set of customized display formats (specific icon sizes) or individual buttons for each setting would be even better. With a working plugin I could get rid of the ribbon and gain a little more window space.

Your QT programs are great, I can only think of one improvement: could you make the preview tooltip work on .flv files?

The Vista Codec Pack at http://shark007.testbox.dk/ has FLV support.
So does the K-Lite Codec Pack at http://www.codecguide.com/about_kl.htm
The Vista Codec Pack runs on Vista 32-bit and 64-bit K-Lite Codec Pack run on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista 32-bit, not sure about 64-bit, also not sure if it's FLV support works with previews as I've only tried the Vista Codec Pack.

The codec pack flv support is probably based on FFDSHOW, in which case you're better off downloading FFDSHOW directly. You won't need XVID or DIVX then either.

That's part of the Label feature, I believe. The only Windows util that does anything close is LabelsWin

http://www.proggle.com/labels/lite/index.shtml

The lite version colors/labels folders only but the shareware version does files too. Not the most graceful looking but if you need labels, it does the job.

Actually, Xentient Labels is what the poster is looking for (Make sure to grab the nice freeware Xentient Thumbnails while you're there). That LabelsWin program is terrible. It's also packed with esellerate components.

Another option for labeling files, which I personally use, is Shedko Badges.

Is a good thing the possibility of integrate the close button in the tabs.
I wonder what do you think about the possibility of adding more functionality at this like show only the close button in the active tab, always in the active tab and in the others when the mouse is hover the tab, etc. And will be wonderful if the hover event can be configure with a delay so the button appears smoothly.

And, what do you think if remove the close button when only one tab is in the tabcontrol?

Re: Hi :D

spitf1r3 1199273375|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

The flexible space is a separator, that automatically adjusts space between two toolbar objects.
Examples:
1.When a toolbar contains:
[Object1][FlexibleSpace][Object2]
then object1 is on the very left side of toolbar and object2 on the very right side, and in the middle you have space.

2.When a toolbar contains:
[Object1][FlexibleSpace][Object2][FlexibleSpace][Object3]
then object1 is on the very left side of toolbar and object2is in the middle, and object3 is on the very right side, and between objects you have space.

Hope it helps understanding…if not, try looking at FireFox ;)

The option to open folders in a new window and not an existing Explorer Window already exists…simply drag & drop folders onto the tab bar with the Control key down to open in a new window.

You can make it one click by using QTPopup.exe. Put a shortcut on your quick launch and one click will open the menu (I don't know about any toolbar on the taskbar)

Re: QT Tab Desktop Tool

jd2066 1199153692|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

That would work for single click but not the main problem on of clicking items in the menu and having them open in an existing window.
Also on the toolbar, if you right click on the taskbar, move over toolbars and select 'QT Tab Desktop Tool' a toolbar appears on the taskbar with one button you doulbe click that brings up the same menu as QTPopup.exe

Re: QT Tab Desktop Tool

Nighted 1199156990|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Yes, you can do that already too. Options > Window > "Do not capture windows as a new tab when opened from outside". One click. New Window.

Re: QT Tab Desktop Tool

It appears it doesn't apply to opening things from the taskbar toolbar or QTPopup.exe.

Hi,
it's a nice idea to show menus by one click on taskbar toolbar.
I'll add the option on next major release.

>2. Have an option to open folders in a new window and not an existing Explorer Window.

generally, by clicking menu items with Ctrl key down, qttabbar tries to open in new window.
and with Shift key, open a new tab.

If you want to do so without keyboards, try click "Open" menu in item's contextmenu.

Desktop tool is not "outside", I think :-)

Ok, that should work for now. It's better then opening a new window and selecting a group.
It would still be helpful to have an option for the Desktop Tool to always open in a new Window.

If you want to do so without keyboards, try click "Open" menu in item's contextmenu.

That doesn't seem to exist for the groups.

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!

I would be nice to have the possibility to define that Shift+Tab switch to the last focused tab rather than the next right tab. It will be convenient to quickly switch between two tabs as we made it every day on windows when pressing on Alt+Tab.

An other thing to improve. When double clicking on the background, it is possible to define which folder to open but it's not possible to define "My Computer". Besides it is the often the starting point to browse through the folders…

Hello Quizo,

Please consider supporting user defined "aliases" for the QTAddressBar, where the user can simply type the name of a pre-defined alias to open a folder path, or a favorites group, or even execute a program.

For example, if I could pre-define "doc" to be "C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents" and typed "doc" in the AddressBar, then the My Documents folder would open in a new tab.

Hi Quizo,

I really like your program, I especially like that you can add standard buttons such as the delete button (a feature that microsoft omitted in vista).

One minor problem with the delete button though is that you can't delete folders that are selected from the left tree pane in explorer (with your delete button, I had to open the folder's parent folder on the left tree pane, select the folder on the right pane and click delete)

One cosmetic change for the image preview, can you make it look like vista's image preview (semi-transparent, rounded borders with a soft shadow) ?

Thanks for the great program :)

What makes QT so special is that it is a plugin for Windows Explorer so you can use it in conjunction with other Windows Explorer plugins/modifications. If QT was a standalone it would lose functionality as would Windows Explorer.

Hello

Thanks for coding this great explorer extension! Microsoft should hire you or buy this.
I have one request that would be awesome for this.

In Maxthon when you press F10 (Split Screen), you get 2 windows side by side. Each window has its own tabs. Tabs can be dragged and dropped between windows. New tabs will open on the window that has focus. This would be great for QTTabBar! You could syncronize folders so easily this way. And make browsing very fast.

Re: Requests

skywalka 1200536249|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Quizo, before I post some feature requests I have to thank you for these incredible addons. The real positive for me is the continuous development. The exact opposite of Microsoft's attitude. Imagine where we'd be today if Microsoft gave a hoot about it's users.

Anyway, some suggestions:
1. Allow single clicking instead of having to double click the QT system tray icon.
2. To change the selection when renaming files isn't Tab a more logical key to use than F2.
3. Control cursor loop with the Up & Down arrow keys.
4. Is it somehow possible to drag files to Explorer when it is minimized to the system tray? Otherwise using the system tray option removes functionality.
5. A button to replace the rightclick context menu item "Arrange Icons By" would be handy
6. Couldn't QT's functionality extend to the Desktop without having to enable the 'QT Tab Desktop Tool'. Taskbar space is a premium.
7. The original Maxthon 1.x is bundled with a fantastic plugin, FloatBar. FloatBar is able to maximise the size of a picture on a website without protruding beyond the visible screen. Perhaps QT can mimic this behaviour because currently picture tooltips are cropped by the screen edge.
8. Video thumbnails are usually useless because they display the first frame of the video which is usually plain black. ACDSee displays video thumbnails consisting of 4 seperate screenshots from different positions of the video. This would look great in QT's preview.

Missed this request thread at first, sorry for that, so pasting a request made in another thread to…have them more in the right place.

Would love to see some sort of "hide menu bar" incorrporated in QTTabBar as well. Currently I use "HMB2" (HideMenuBar2) that can be found here http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/freewarefiles/HMB2.zip
With that I can manage to toggle it to be shown or hidden but that leaves me with yet another program running in the tray and at start up.

Styler also has the same menu hiding ability and as far as I know they are both built around .reg keys which should be pretty easy to find. The up-side with using HMB2 instead of directly clicking the .reg files is that it updates instantly while with the .reg you have to close/open the folder.

Hope you can/want to add this function into your application one way or another (by option or a button toggle).

Hi,

First of all, thank you so much for developing QTTabBar. I really love using tabs just like in Firefox.
I don't know if this is possible already, if it is I haven't found it yet : a button or a shortcut enabling us to open a new tab, on "'My Computer" for instance. If it's not there already, I would love having that in a future version. Having to open My Computer manually is a bit annoying when I want to open another folder. I'm aware of the "Browse folder" option but I don't find it very useful, having to right-click on the toolbar, select the menu item and then the drive in a tiny window.

Sorry, one last request.

The ability to put the tabs in a prefered order and locking them in their place would be nice.

For example, a menu could be added to the Options that would list all current tabs and allow me to select the order in which they are displayed (maybe using up/down buttons to move them to the prefered order), with a checkbox next to each one that would lock that particular tab in its place, thus opening those locked tabs, in that order, every time Explorer is opened. All new tabs would then be added to the right of the locked tabs.

You could let QTTabBar automatically put any "ordered" tabs to the left, sorting the others according to the user's preference as stated in the Tab Order.

Hi and congratulations for your fine work.

This is my request for Windows XP:

For almost all my folders I use custom Column Details: Attributes, Name, Size, File Version, Type, Company, Date Modified :

but, on My Music" folder I use this: Attributes, Name, Duration, Bit Rate, Date Modified :

and the same thing for other folders, like "My Pictures" and "My Video".

Would be excellent if QTTabBar could manage profiles for handle this kind of Explorer settings.

The reason for this are: it's easy the setting for all my folders at once, or only one folder at time, but this turn hard if, for example, inside "My Music" exist many levels of sub-folders. Other issue with Windows is when every time I go to Safe-Mode and come back to normal mode, the Explorer's Column Details seems screw up!

QTTbabBar could save, remember and automatically apply ( or repair ) a Column Detail profile to one folder or all their sub-folders recursively.

I know Windows standby (or is it hibernate..bah memory lapse) does this with powering down the system, but that doesn't really help if youre in the middle of something with all your stuff open and you get burnt out and want to revisit the very same context at another time, and give yourself a clean slate to do other things in the mean time. Basically, the very same reason I use Firefox session manager Vs. intentionally crashing the browser so it's "crash recovery" feature works instead.

I have a couple of requests for QTAddressBar. Could you make it a bit thinner, like the default address bar? Also, fonts like Tahoma 8pt and Arial 8pt don't look centered in QTAddressBar, they look closer to the top, it would look better if they were centered.

Thanks for such a nice app :)

Great app! 3 requests:

1) only show tab-bar if more than one tab exists (like in firefox)
2) allow user to hide menu bar, but show it with alt-key (vista standard); you could make the qttabbar separate so that normal vista setup isn't altered.
3) close window settings (prevent close with tabs, restore tabs, send to tray on close, etc) only work correctly if pressing the red "x". they don't work for alt-f4 (which is how I always close windows). is it possible to prevent close on alt-f4 if there are multiple tabs (or to set alt-f4 to close a tab instead of the window)?

It would also be great to get fonts and text sizes from the OS (use menu settings, for example) so user doesn't have to configure them.
Thanks again!

Any chance for any of these? #1-2 are pretty important in vista, and should be relatively easy to fix. It's very annoying showing the menu-bar all the time, and also showing the tabbar when unnecessary.
The WORST though is how alt-f4 closes a window full of tabs and you can't get them back, even with "prevent close with tabs," "restore tabs" and "send to tray on close" enabled (rather than closing one tab; you can't set alt-f4 as a keystroke in options).
Very counter-intuitive UI actions, and they're what are keeping me from reinstalling QTTabBar on Vista now that I've upgraded from XP (along with minor bugs, which are less noticeable either on vista or because they've been fixed). Not that it really matters to you if I install or not, but QTTabBar is a great app (that I wouldn't mind paying for if it worked "properly"), and it seems silly not to fix these minor issues, that I can't imagine would be difficult to code.

Thanks again for all your work,
LR

Hello Quizo. I love both QT TabBar and QT Addressbar. There are 3 features I would like to see added.

1) Option to align the tabs to the right side of the tabbar instead of the left.
2) Option to associate certain tab groups with specific directories so that those tabs would open automatically when opening the associated directory.
3) Ability to initiate a search from the Addressbar itself.

Thank you for your time and wonderful apps.

You mightwant to try BxNewFolder. It's a "New Folder" button that is added to Explorer. You simply click the button and give your new folder a name. I find it very useful.

You can find it at http://www.baxbex.com/products.html

If the site won't load (it didn't for me today) Google for "BxNewFolder" and you'll find it on other download sites. It's free !!! :)

Hey Quizo are you okay??? ._. Do you ran away?? U_U

I have to something, may be is usefull for you ^^

OUNCE

OUNCE is a free grafical toolkit library based on the Krypton Toolkit from ComponentFactory.
It enables you to support a visual theme similiar to Apples OS X 10.5 Leopard for your Windows Forms applications.

Furthermore the OUNCE toolkit contains a new rendering engine for Divelements Sanddock and Sandbar Toolkits to apply the OS X style also to their docking and toolbar components, allowing a consistent look and feel for all parts of your .NET applications.

Integration of OUNCE in your existing applications is quite easy and requires only a few lines of code. Check out the Tutorials section for more information.

The OUNCE toolkit is totally free for commercial use, to get it work with its basic functionality you will also have to install the Krypton Tookit from ComponentFactory, which is also free for commercial use. To benefit from the docking and toolbar visual OS X style, you will have to use OUNCE with the Sanddock and Sandbar Toolkit from Divelements Limited. These libraries are commercial, but can be obtained as a 30 days trial version. Indeed the OUNCE extension for those libraries is still totally free.

Just click the links below to check out the features of the OUNCE library or take a look at some sample applications that demonstrate the visual style your programs will get when using the OUNCE library

I really like your software, its really easy to use and highly customisable. I did notice a small bug that appears when you open more tabs than fit on one line. It causes part of the text on the tab on the new line to be obscured. But it sorts its self out when you resize the window. (Vista 64)
I also have one small suggestion for you. Once I click on the folder icon on the tab and the drop down menu appears. It would be good if when I click the middle mouse button over a folder it opens it in a new tab in the background.
Thinking about it I have another suggestion for you again it involves the drop down menu. It would be useful if I was able to select a group of files on it. Mainly so I can quickly add songs to the playlist. Also after adding a song to the play list it would be better if the drop down menu didn’t claps until you clicked somewhere off the menu.

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!!!

CTRL + TAB allows to change the focused folder. We can select the next tab to the left or the next tab to the right but there is no way to have a cycle in recently used order (as Windows feature for example). This feature will be very useful to quickly switch between two folders. Is it possible to add an option for this?

Is there a way to make the search "sticky".

Say I'm looking for a certain file or files. I know it's in folder A, B, or C. I go to folder A, type a partial string into the search box. Nothing there, so I click on folder B. But as soon as I do that, the search text is cleared, so I have to type it in again. Would be nice to have an option to make the search sticky til I clear it.

Also, would be real nice to have an option to remember the last X number of search strings.

So I just read through this entire thread, to summarize in no particular order some of my favorite ideas and a couple of my own…

1. side by side / double pane windows (similar to maxthon where both windows have the tabs)
2. create new folder & text doc. icons on toolbar (i know theres a plug-in for it, but it be nice to click and the new folder is there, or double click empty area creates new folder or brings up menu and you select what type to create???)
3. hide menu bar until mouseover or right click in a specific area
4. round edges and shading on picture / movie preview (maybe like a google-maps-type pop-up), also PDF preview
5. opacity when dragging
6. session manager (maybe, maybe not, if it would be more functional than just having the groups???)
7. Control panel icons on toolbar
8. mouse gestures
9. network support (//computer)
10. search subfolders, also be able to click 'back' to back out of the search (like explorer does it itself, would keep "sticky" searches then too)
11. option to color-code by file type (selective file types anyway)
12. details icons are real images instead of generics (if it wouldn't slow the system down too bad)
13. drop stack similar to UltraExplorer, where you drag and drop a file on a temporary clipboard and pull it out into a new location later
14. be able to change the text on icons on toolbar ('Send to Parent' is a bit too long for my toolbar!)

of course there are tons of other good ideas too, but this is too many as it is!

Keep up the great work! single best program I have on my system!

First of all, congratulations on your really good app!
And sorry that I create a new thread first and than realize that this issue would fit well here.
It's a request as I don't think It's possible. If It's, the better.
My problem is that I use a disk defrag that places files on the faster areas of the hard drive based on last access time stamps.
So I want to know if I can disable the update of last access time stamps by QTTabBar, even if I lose functionalities.
I care most just for the tab browsing feature anyway.
Is it possible?
If not, that's something you should consider for next releases.

Hi Quizo,

Came across your product QTTabbar and am intrigued at what it can and it possibilities.

Have a suggestion / request /bug? that maybe you would like to have a look at:

1. Under QTTabBar Options | Window Tab | No window resizing, If selected it does work and one can fix the size once the Window size is selected. BUT this is applicable only to the selected window. All other windows revert to a default size…..
Suggest that once selected it be a global setting for the user AND if possible a filed be added where one can actually enter dimensions (max being the screen)

2. On the Status bar is there anything that can be added, best example I found is from an application called IE7Pro.

Regards,

H

Quizo!! you are simply great. Thanks for giving this excellent plugin.
Asking more from what you have already given doesn't sound good. But for further imporvements i would like to add
few requests
1. Add a context menu option "Open in new tab" when a folder is selected
2. Position the Lock icon on the right of the text, because if you enable the option "Show drive letter" and "Show lock icon" then both overlap and only the lock icon is visible.
3. It would be great if it is possible to split the tabs horizontally or vertically in the right side of the explorer.
Something similar to Visual Studio.

thanks again and keep the excellent work going on on on on…..

Hey there,

first of all, i love both little tools, and using them together results in a little graphic disturbance when aligned on top of each other:

would be good if the extra space could be removed from the addressbar, or added to the tabbar :)

Another suggestion (maybe alternative):

If placed on the same height, is it possible to set the tabbar to automatically increase width relative to the number of open tabs, to a certain width limit which can be customized.

I would really like this because i want to have as few toolbars as possible.

Keep up the good work!

Started using this extension for its preview tooltips.
And I have some requests/suggestioms:

Speed of preview tooltip
I notice that the preview tooltip seem to take a longer time to appear on larger images.
Maybe there can be an option to adjust the thumbnail quality like TweakUI XP has for the Explorer thumbnail view?

Search Box
This search box is a really useful tool.
Is it possible to have an option to adjust the height as its a bit "tall" and it disturbs my slim toolbar layout.
Maybe an auto size function would be nice for those putting it at the end of the toolbar so it can resize when the window is being resized.

So far I feel quite ok for the other functions.

I'd like to point out something though.
When you have several tabs open, the folders tree panel is the same for all tabs, which makes sometimes difficult to navigate or to know where we are.
Is it possible to have a new tree for each tab? Like you would have a new tree for each explorer window.

Re: Requests

dutchMasta 1226590530|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I'd like to suggest the following (might be repeating some, in which case, I second their request(s):

• Merge QTAddressBar and QTTabBar into one app, so we can customise the order easier, such as [Back][Forward][AddressBar][Search] (photoshopped image below), like say adding "Address Bar" to the customise in Standard Buttons, or could also have as well as QT Tab Bar and QT Tab Standard Buttons, another one called QT Tab Search Bar, or something.

(I would provide the skin for the buttons, but I basically just copied those 3 from the Eminence WindowBlinds and scrapped the rest since I only use those, so it's an incomplete skin)

• Customisable search bar, skinnable, maybe a little search icon and clear icon, like , and clicking the search icon brings up a little menu with checkable options such as "search subfolders" "search hidden files" etc. or whatever. Or can just have all these options in the main QT Tab Bar options along with everything else. Important one for me is to search subfolders though.
• Skinnable QTAddressbar (and optional refresh button)
• Maybe a details bar, but for all views, like if I'm viewing as tiles, it'll look like , think Vista has that
• Add more to the Standard Buttons, such as Viewing Options and Sorting Options (view as thumbnail/tiles/icons/etc.), (sort by name/type/size/date/etc.). Maybe can add more to viewing options, like changing size of icons, space between items, dunno, not that important really (I know there's a plugin for viewing options, but you can't set the icon for it).
• Tab background wheel-click & folder background wheel-click additions, and change "up one level when double-click folder margin" to the customisable ones like the others (show menu/properties/close window/close tab/etc.)
• Optional text for image previews, and customisable too, like what info to show (size/dimensions/date/etc.)
• New tab opens to My Computer (seems it can point to most folders, just not my computer), not that important, workaround possible as stated below (EDIT: just saw that you can use "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" without quotes, thanks Quizo)
• New tab opens to a blank customisable space, a bit like Opera's speed dial, but different locations on the computer instead of links. Of course, the obvious workaround is that you can just create a random folder with shortcuts do the different locations and point the new tab to that folder, which I've done, so not really that important

It's a lot but none are really that important for me except the 1st and 2nd requests, really would like to have that order of [Back][Forward][AddressBar][Search] in my toolbar, and really would like to search subfolders.
Not trying to give you a hard time by giving you loads to do, just want to suggest as much as possible to help you improve your program further.
Still, it's a VERY complete program and a GREAT addition, and I'm so glad I've found this, thanks for making it. Real shame I didn't find it sooner though.

What an outstanding add-on!. The functionality and capabilities that you give to the Explorer File Manager put Microsoft to shame. It is truly excellent. I would ask a simple request, an option to single click the task bar icon to restore Explorer as opposed to double clicking (for simplicity, ease on the mouse work and greater efficiency. Many other iconized apps have this option and I imagine it would not be too difficult a feature to include. Thank you for such a wonderful application, it has made my day and has now turned Explorer into usable tabbed file browser.

Hi Quizo…good to see you back..I wish you well! You have made wonderful programs in QTTabBar QTAddressBar for Windows Explorer, thank you!

A request…or two for QTTabBar if possible…
1) Would it be possible to make the Memo Plugin window 'sticky' to the Windows Explorer window so that when the Windows Explorer window is moved the Memo window moves with it? Maybe having it 'snap' to the sides of the Windows Explorer window to 'stick' in place? Also have the Memo window 'sticky' to the Windows Explorer window when minimized to the Task Bar(as it is, the Memo window gets left behind). And also have the Windows Explorer window open with the Memo window 'sticky' in place to the Explorer window would be great. As it is, if the Windows Explorer windows get moved they are out of place with Memo window.

2) Another request with the Memo Plugin function…would it be possible to have the Right-Click tab menu function: 'Show/Hide Folder Memo', toggle between Hide and Show?

Edit(12/31/08) to add addendum to item #2
I found that it is possible to toggle the Memo window 'Show/Hide' via a 'Shortcut Key' creature feature within the 'Options' section…as posted in this thread:
http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/forum/t-49561/is-there-a-button-or-shortcut-key-to-make-folder-memo-appear

My request is the ability to change the shortcut keys to my own as I'm already familiar with e.g. FireFox tabs and would like not to remember another set of shortcuts :)

Thanks again for the tool.

Vince.

Replace group with current tabs

Amadawn (guest) 1231931648|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi,

I'd like it if there was a way to replace all the tabs in a Tab Group with the current tabs.
Currently it is possible to create a New Group with all the current tabs, but as fas as I know you cannot easily replace all the tabs in a group.

Cheers (and thanks for this amazing piece of software!)

Re: Replace group with current tabs

I second this request. Since the concept is that a group contains multiple tabs (and tabbar allows you to open the whole group with one click), it seems inefficient to have to add each tab location to the group one-at-a-time, instead of in batch. It would save many clicks if we could open all the tabs we wanted to have in a group, then use the right-click option to add them to a group all at once. Idea for the right-click option:

1) Remove (rt click on tab)->"Create New Group" and add the following:
(rt click on tab)->Add current tab to group->[list of current groups]+(separator)+"Create New Group"
(rt click on tab)->Add window tabs to group->[list of current groups]+(separator)+"Create New Group"
(rt click on tab)->Replace Group with window's tabs->[list of current groups]

Add a way to quickly delete a group. Idea:
2) (right-click tab backgnd)->Groups->(delete hotkey & beside group name add a clickable delete icon [X]). Maybe the delete hotkey should be configurable, but I think most would agree it's OK to hardcode the keyboard's delete key.

If not doing (1) above, my suggestion would then be to change the "Create New Group" function to add all of the current window's tabs to the newly created group by default (possibly configurable in menus to preserve backwards compatibility).

Jason (guest) 1233268360|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Thoughts on how to cut down on the wordiness of the menu options I presented above:

Alternatives to "Add current tab to group" & "Add window tabs to group"
a) "Add tab to group" & "Add window to group"
b) "Add to group" & "Add group to"

I like a) best…
b) implies "tab" in the former & "group" in the latter, making the description of functionality a bit subtle. Users would have to learn what was meant by the options.

filter tabs

ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!

Thank you very much for the add-on.

The current "restore tabs" feature only works when you close Explorer normally, not when it crashes.

Apparently QTTabbar saves your tab only when you close Explorer, not every time you add/remove a tab, so if Explorer crashes (happens quite often), QTTabbar restores old tabs instead of the tabs you had just before it crashed.

Such a "crash safeguard" feature would be very useful. And a session manager, as many have commented above.

Thanks again. Otsukaresamadeshita.

Add mouse button "rocker gestures" commonly found in most web browsers nowadays:

To navigate backwards in history: 1) right-button-hold, 2) left-click, 3) right-button-release
To navigate forward in history: 1) left-button-hold, 2) right-click, 3) left-button-release

Another neat idea for add'l rocker functionality: count how many clicks are made between the hold & release steps to determine how deep to go in history/future. For interim-visual feedback, display a pop-up window of browsed folder history and allow clicks to increment/decrement the folder selected in the popup window to show which folder will be displayed upon mouse button release.

Mouse Rocker Gestures

Jason (guest) 1233270649|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Oops… I was mistaken. The "neat idea" is actually standard for mouse rocker gestures (I had been using that functionality all the time & just didn't realize it b/c it's so natural).

The pop-up window, however, might be unique (my browser doesn't have this); it could eliminate delays needed to redraw the entire folder's contents. However, some might find a popup to be a distraction, though, so if added, its time to initial display probably would need to be configurable (starting a timer from the moment the first button is held & reset by each click, displaying the popup after the configured time has been surpassed).

Re: Requests - Opengroup.exe

Taylor (guest) 1237235176|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I really like the addition of the opengroup.exe tool. I am wondering if there are plans to add some switches - ie I would really appreciate it if I could specify whether to open the group in an existing window or whether to open a new window. (Unless I have missed how this can be currently accomplished).

Right now, If I open Group A (Opengroup.exe "Group A") while no explorer processes running, all the folders from group A pop up in a new window. If I subsequently open Group B (Opengroup.exe "Group B"), the folders contained in Group B are appended to the same window as Group A.

Thanks again for an amazing product.

Re: Requests

Nathan (guest) 1239404201|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

One request I have is that when I select a Group that the title of the window change to the name of the group instead of the name of the folder.

Also would it be possible to some how make a shortcut on the desktop to a Group? I have shortcuts on the desktop now that goto a folder then I have to open up the Group from there, but can I have one that goes to a Group and opens all the folders in the group? I know there is the Start Up option, but I don't want the Group to open up every time I open a folder.

Great program.
Thanks,
Nathan

Re: Requests & re:Opengroup.exe

Taylor (guest) 1243483150|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

This kind of solves both my problem (with opengroup) and the problem described in this post:

What I ended up doing was creating a batch file. I don't know much about batch files but I cobbled this together (see http://www.aumha.org/a/batches.php):

(The file is called GroupShortcut.bat)
Start C:\Work\%1
C:\OpenGroup.exe %1

"%1" represents a startup parameter that is used in two ways:
1) It is the name of the directory I want to open (ie "C:\Work\Project1\")
2) It is also the name I have assigned for the group (ie "C:\OpenGroup.exe Project1" opens C:\Work\Project1\, C:\Work\Project1\Libraries\, C:\Work\Project1\Backups\, C:\Work\Project1\Data\)

Number 1) solves my problem, namely, starting a brand new folder before running the opengroup util.

Nathan, get the Opengroup.exe utility from the downloads if you don't have it. Create the batch file above (use notebook and save as C:\GroupShortcut.bat). Create a shortcut on your desktop. Make the shortcut target = C:\Shortcut.bat "Project1"
(or whatever group you seek to open)

Hmm, actually Nathan doesn't need the batch file at all if he doesn't mind (or prefers) the group to open up in existing instance of explorer
If that's the case, just make the shortcut target = C:\OpenGroup.exe YourGroupNameHere

Cheers

I am unsure of the "document" of which you speak. However, if you mean the (left or right) viewing panes in Windows Explorer, then you can always use the "Home" key to move to the first item in the list of whichever pane has focus (where the cursor is positioned). Alternatively, the "End" key moves to the last item.

my suggestions

Busty (guest) 1240065598|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I think QTTabBar is so much greater than anything else from M$ since years!

There are just a few things I like to mention:
- option to disable tab switching with mouse wheel, because it happens often accidentally
- I like small tool bar icons with text underneath - this is not possible with the QTTabBar buttons
- A Firefox like panel to add and remove tool bar buttons would be nice! (including all plugin buttons would be even cooler)

And another request: option to shorten long folder names on tabs (e.g.: folder name = "My very long folder name" -> tab label = "My very long…")

Folder properties button or plugin

Irwin Cespedes B (guest) 1242537234|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

First, BIG THANKS, QTTabBar is great, and i can't bear Vista without it.

Can you create a plug in for batch files rename (rename multiple files),
or if possible provide me with code stub\sample for your plug in and I will do the writing?
Thanks.

I'd love to have an option to make the folder tree auto-expand and auto-hide the folder list to show only the selected folder when I switch tabs. The current behavior makes it harder to get to the right place in the folder tree when I switch tabs.

checkbox options?

phong (guest) 1249111447|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

it's better if we have a checkbox like Vista Explorer. I've used TrayProdder but it bugs with QTTabbar…

Re: Requests

Dwight Delleva (guest) 1250772753|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi, I think this is really a great suggestion!

Instead of the contents shown when you hover on the arrow down button of a folder, can you please add another feature like copy, paste, and send, etc like when you right-click on a file so we don't have to right-click to see the tips.

Hovering should replace right-clicking. This is faster and more efficient.

it'll be nice to use that arrow down on other files and not only the folders. it'll be a good new feature.

So the hover arrow button on folders should include open (instead of double-clicking), cut, copy, paste, send to, delete, rename and the contents of the folder can still be shown in a click-able button like an arrow to show folder contents.

And for files: run, cut, copy, play (for media files), view (for pictures), delete, rename, send to, and if possible the file's properties is also shown when you click on it on something like "properties" and it drops down.

Hope this suggestion included on the next release and I can't wait!

This could help many people!

I would really appreciate this and I am going to donate to you.

Hi,

could you support the following keyboard shortcuts.
CTRL + Insert for copy to clibboard
Shift + Insert for copy from clibboard

The native windows bar allows them.
