 Re: Dir Me Up 1.12 available on AmigaOS 4.1
Just tried the demo and looks good to me

However i have some ideas/reports for the future release

- During the browing of the directories still a sort of flickering effects, a bit annoying for the eyes can say, it seems to happen mostly when you switch from a partition to another rathen then only browsing internally a single directory

- In contextmenu you may add also a back/forward options

- Right now i'm using AISS and i noted that certain buttons are smaller than others, i fell you should use the same dimentions for all the buttons of the toolbar (more elegant imho)

- An option to disable the splash screen at startup ?

- Keyboard support could be improved, for example would be cool to be able to navigate the directory using the up/down arrows, right now the arrows can be used only to scroll the entire "page", rathen then to scroll single directories/files listed

- Double click to select a directory seems a bit buggy here, expecially for "internal sub-directories, sometimes it force me to double click on them twice before the dir will be opened

- Thumbnails (small icons) support for directories/files like Filer !

- More to follow eventually, i'm still testing the demo

- I like to translate it in Italian, from what file can i start ?

Pretty good software

Hi,

Well, lots of ideas :)
Some are already in my TO DO list like, for example, the keyboard thing.

There isn't splash screen in the full edition.

I'll send to you the files to translate.

Thank you for your feedback.

so how do you open up another lister ? I'm too addicted to the DOpus double lister format.

@ 328gts,

The idea is to manage with one window. But you can also open more windows and copy/paste from one to another.

No double lister.

@ glames

But what do you click to open another window ? I think there should be a button to allow you to open up another window instead of actually starting the program again to get another window .

 Re: Dir Me Up 1.12 available on AmigaOS 4.1
just got it..thanks!

first impressions:
1- I'm having to double click more than once on many occasions to get folders to open

2- how do you reduce (or enlarge) the width of columns?

@328gts,

You're welcome :)

1/ Double clic works well here. But sometimes, there is a preview (images, text, ...) that can explain why you need to click again. But concerning directories, I'll check again but I don't have any problem here.

2/ It is automatically calculated by Reaction. You can't reduce or enlarge the width of colums.

double click unfortunately works poorly for me on my X1000. I have to slowly click twice for it to be effective.

as for the column spacing, it would be nice if you could adjust column widths ala SimpleMail etc.

also, noticed that video's clicked on with DvPlayer work fine but nothing works with mplayer-altivec at all?

Same for me on peg2. In 1.12 version it start to be better, but still, in 50% of times i should press a lot of times to just to go inside directory.

also I'd like to see the AISS icons slightly bigger.

getting used to slowly double clicking but it owuld be nice if the double click timing can be increased similar to other programs
