That's what happened to me when my old feline companion of 19 years passed away, within 2 months, a stray came in & settled down; that was 4 years ago. Those chaps know how to get under the blankets & into your heart and you never forget them. Re Mr Cat

Keyboard shortcuts / keypress actions don't seem to work in a lot of places. Examples (Tested in both XP and Vista on separate systems): 1. Right-click, create a new category or bookmark and then try to rename it. The item goes into edit mode and the text is selected by default... but then the control doesn't accept keystrokes - so you can't change the name in any way. 2. In the right-pane, when you want to open a file, pressing ENTER key on it doesn't work. Only double-click does the job. 3. In Vista, the mouse-wheel based vertical scroll (through the file lists) in the right-pane wasn't working. Functional in XP though. Apart from that - great work, as always. Keep it going :) Cheers, m^e Another little glitch(?) or maybe a side-effect of the new settings engine. Keyboard shortcuts / keypress actions don’t seem to work in a lot of places.

If you remember from a while back, my computer is setup with a default icon size of 32x32 but the row-hight in the details view is limited to 16x16 meaning the icons are cropped. Can you have a look to see if you can refix the problem ;-) It's great to see this application is still evolving with lots of exciting features still to come.... Nice one! Martin Hi Marko,

It’s true: CE is very slow to explore lan UNC path!

For example if you insert \\pcname\shared. If you do it with windows explorer is faster. Thank you. Hello,
