Colour coding of files by extension is one of the plethora of FC features that I find really great. However, in practice the use of a lot of different text colours for different filetypes gets confusing because then some of the colours look pretty similar to each other. For this reason some of my mu...

Seconded! - A jolly good idea!

I see here that the bug has supposedly been fixed (Sigh!). On my Vista Home Premium system it's still alive and kicking! I can drag items from FC and drop them onto the desktop, but when I try to drop something from the desktop into a folder open in FC, I consistently get the 'no entry' symbol in pl...

Just out of curiosity I just checked this myself. Yes it is. Right click on the 'splitter' - that is, the division between the two panes, and you get a menu including the option you want.

It does give a thumbnail in the right-click context menu for image files, but that's very different from just being able to run your mouse pointer over files in the file manager list and having the file tips with...

I came to FC just a few days ago, having got p****d off with two problems I was having with Powerdesk, which was otherwise the best file manager I'd found up to that time. I now find that FC not only lacks those two problems but for my purposes is a whole lot better in all sorts of ways, so I'm real...
