So, I took little break which happens every fall. I’ve had some other stuff I needed to take care of and also I needed some time to rest. This week I started to work with CE again. I rewrote the search feature from scratch. It now has a new more powerful engine and lot’s of advanced search options including content search. I haven’t done much testing yet so there might be some bugs left.
Next I will finish the DualView implementation. I haven’t yet checked the forum but I’ll go through all posts next week.
*UPDATED 18.11.2009*
CubicExplorer 0.91.0.1209 (SVN Snapshot)
Installer (2.2MB)
Zip (2.5MB)
Hello,
Great search engine improvement !
I have perhaps not seen but :
Is is possible to open the containing folder of a found file? Most of the search engines have this on the Right click menu.
CubicExplorer is a very good program, thank you!
HELL YEAH – good news.
gonna check it out monday
@TiX
This new snapshot doesn’t have that option. I’ll add it in next snapshot.
new search engine rocks
however you must have messed up something in the file manager engine…
when i browse a folder with “list” view style, file icons “disappear” when i move left, right, up and down trough colums… (either with arrow keys or with mouse) . sometimes an entire column of file vanishes…
this makes CE unusable in list view mode
Welcome back, Marko
Welcome back Marko!!! It is great to have to back
Brightens my day 
Welcome back! I love CE
We missed ya!! welcome back!
anybody else can confirm my bug report?
i reproduced it on 2 different PCs (XP and Vista
Thanks guys
@Tommy
I see the bug. It looks like it has something to do with Threaded Images. If you turn that off from the advanced settings then it should work. However, it seems that the scroll range is too big so if you scroll too far, all icons go off screen.
Jim has done lot’s of work in some components. I’ll need to make sure those changes work properly in CE.
Ahhhh, it is just so nice to test a new snapshot. Thank you very much Marko!!
@Marko
Threaded Images was already set on false…
I still get the bug either on false or true mode…
@Marko
here’s my settings.xml file.

please take a look at it.
any idea Marko?
that bug is preventing me to upgrade
@Tommy
It’s working for me in XP. If I remember correctly, you are using Vista so it might be different in there.
My engine is starting a bit slowly so it will take some time until I’m on full speed with snapshots and notes.
very strange… I have the same bug on a Vista PC and on an XP PC as well….
just adding more infos:
i reproduce the bug on Vista and XP Home Edition either with custom settings from my previous CE snapshot or with defualt settings from dowloaded CE
@Tommy
I noticed on mine that if the info bubble pops up when mousing over a file, it also blanks out all of the files underneath it. Perhaps some kind of a refresh issue. By the way, do you want to create a topic in the forum, to track this issue?
@firefox_97
another user opened a bug report here:
http://www.cubicreality.com/forum/index.php/topic,1099.0.html
let’s continue there
Hey Marko,
Good to see the upgraded search. Using Windows 7 here and facing the same bugs as Tommy and firefox_97.
Cheers,
m^e
the strange thing is that the “vanishing files” bug is affecting many users and many OS except Marko’s PC…
quite strange…
Where can I find the previuos versions of CE?
Thanks
Hello,
Great Light box. Would please post your wonderful lightbox code? Is it all css or javascript?
Thanks!

And one more factor… the file browsing speed has become terrible. I don’t know if anyone else has faced this issue – but I use CE on 3 different comps and on each, when I open folders with a sizable number of files (40+), it takes quite a while (10 secs+) for the file list to turn up… till then CE goes into wait mode.
Never faced such a lag in any earlier versions of CE. I’m actually thinking of downgrading at this point till everythign’s back to normal
Hey Cubic Reality dude/s
I really love Cubic Explorer… like lots.
Is there a way/can you implement a thing where it replaces Windows Explorer? because CE is awesome.
I have been using CE for a while now, thanks for the great product!
There are wiki notes on how to generally replace windows explorer.

Hi everyone, I updated the snapshot. The “disappearing items” bug is fixed.
Sorry about the delay, I’m still having trouble starting work. I’ll try to release new snapshot later this week.
Hallelujah!!! Welcome back! We missed you so.
welcome back Marko.
u r right: “disappearing items” bug is fixed
however the seach engine has some troubles…
CE crashes at the end of anu search query.
i sent you bug reports from XP and Vista 64 bit
@Tommy
Ok. I’ve done work with the search, I’ll take a look at that report.
thanks.
the new redesigned search engine looks very interesting…
i’m looking forward to use it extensively onece it is bug free
Marko!! How good to hear from you
CE is such a wonderful software you cannot leave it unfinished!!!
Thanks for the update. Everything works smooth now. Even the slow browsing speed I had reported earlier on has improved dramatically with the solving of the vanishing files bug. Good to see CE back in shape.
Still awaiting an Undo Closed Tab feature. That’ll be really useful.
All the best!
m^e
any news from u, marko?
does anyone know what happened. why is there no blogposts. did I miss anythng?
@soegel
I have had a burnout some years ago and it’s still effecting my ability to work. It’s at worst in fall and winter due to “Seasonal Affective Disorder”.
Anyway, CE is not dead, I’m not dead. I’m trying to write a new post to reflect some thoughts about CE’s future and plans.
@Marko
Glad to have you around as this product is awesome, thank you for taking the time out of you day/life to update an already wonderful product.
Have a great Christmas Holiday or other celebration.
winter in Finland must be f***ing cold…
Yeah, it’s -20°C now. I froze my ears earlier this week, still hurting. Better lay of bicycling for now since the windchill is a killer (literally) at these temperatures
.
last night we had 30 cm of snow in my city in Italy… it was the worst snowstorm of the last 30 years at my latitude…
