I got this very strange behavour in the new beta (which is also in 1.7.0.5). When I switched mirror browing ON with Ctrl-M to compare some directories on my hard disk and DVD (backup), and I do a Return to go into a directory which is on both drives, Mirrow browsing is switched off.
If I type first letters, it follows.

If I try this on my hard disk, no problem. If I do in from my harddisk to the network no problem.

Why is Mirror browsing to my dvd switched off if I do an Enter?

mirror browsing turns itself off when it can't find a matching folder to get into. Does it get into the 2 folders and then turn itself off?

[WimdeLange]

The following folders are existing:
c:\d\eBooks
d:\eBooks (on the dvd)

I start in c:\d and in D:\

Ctrl-M to switch on

type "eb" and give enter and it switches off.

Even when I start on c:\d\eBooks and gives Enter it doesn't go into d:\eBooks.

Is there a list of all the bug fixes in this beta version ?. I'm particularly interested in anything that you have done regarding "robust transfers".

[nikos]

there weren't many bugs in that area, what's on your mind?

[dunno]

[nikos]

that was fixed in the previous version!

[dunno]

[nikos]

you'll get the message once but now you have the option to skip all remaining errors of this kind

There is this slightly annoying niggle. If I click the delete button while pressing Shift, I don't get the Delete function. Of course Shift+Del on the keyboard works properly, and it's no big deal as such. Perhaps it is supposed to work this way. Anyway, thought I'd put in my two bits worth.

[nikos]

for that purpose there's a toolbar button called Trash, which acts like shift+del

Thanks for the tip. To think that I have been using xplorer2 for more than a year and never noticed that !!
