Refresh folders when ⌘-tabbing back to ZenOS

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:42:18 +0000

When you open a folder in ZenOS, then go to another application and create or delete a file in the same folder, then switch back to ZenOS, it doesn't detect this change. It would be useful if ZenOS refreshed its displayed folder(s) whenever the user switches back to it.

A color scheme using system colors

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:39:22 +0000

Would it be possible to create a color scheme which uses the standard system colors? So that ZenOS wouldn't look like an alien intruder among the other applications?

Middle-click should close tabs

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:35:12 +0000

Other applications with tabs usually allow you to close a tab by clicking it with the middle mouse button. It would be nice if ZenOS did the same.

Compute folder size

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:22:46 +0000

It should be possible to compute a folder size. For example the way it's implemented in Total Commander: <Ins> selects a folder, <Space> selects the folder and computes its size.

Sort folders and files separately

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:20:53 +0000

When sorting by name or size, folders are displayed first, then files. When sorting by time or attributes, files and folders are mixed. This is somewhat inconsistent. It would be nice to at least be able to choose whether you want the files and folders separated or not.

File search in selected files/folders only

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:16:40 +0000

It would be nice to be able to restrict file search only to the selected files an/or folders.

File search dialog improvements

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:15:49 +0000

File search dialog should display two separate fields - one for searching file names, one for searching file contents. File name/content search would then be performed based on which fields are filled. (Ideally the file name field should be focused by default, as that's most compatible with other file commanders.)

Esc should cancel changes in the folder path field

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:12:47 +0000

When you enter the folder path field (at the top of the screen) and make some changes, it should be possible to exit the box without applying those changes, for example by pressing escape. In fact it might be better to only apply the changes on enter and discard them in every other case (like leaving the box by pressing tab or clicking inside the file panel).

"Show Sidebar" status should be persistent

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 14:04:12 +0000

When I hide the sidebar, ZenOS should remember my preference and hide the sidebar automatically the next time I start the application.

Copy task queue

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 11:37:26 +0000

It would be nice to have ability to send copy (and/or) other time consuming jobs to the background queue.

One click to the path - jump to the directory

Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:35:05 +0000

It could be very fast way how to change the directory level

Batch rename function

Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:28:09 +0000

Batch rename function - Total Commander style will be perfect :)

Built-in file viewer

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 12:51:33 +0000

Zenos should have a simple file viewer capable of displaying all files as text.
Improvement 1: display files as hexadecimal.

Insert key should select files

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 12:50:46 +0000

It would be nice if the Ins key could be used to select files.

PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys should move the cursor

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 12:46:05 +0000

PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys should move the cursor, not just the view. This is more compatible with how other file commanders work.

Search using macOS X Spotlight

Wed, 21 Nov 2018 09:15:43 +0000

System supported macOS X Spotlight search is much faster. This option should be available directly from ZenOS Commander toolbar or using keyboard shortcuts ALT-F7 or CTRL-F or CMD-F.

Internal text editor

Wed, 21 Nov 2018 09:09:58 +0000

Besides opening file in external editor offer also an option to edit it directly in ZenOS Commander.

Internal Quick View

Wed, 21 Nov 2018 09:08:48 +0000

Besides showing system quick look (F3) offer also an option to quick look the file directly in the other panel.

Thumbnail / Icons view

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 20:32:42 +0000

Ability to switch file listing to Thumbnail list.

Option to set thumbnail size.
