Xenon Portable Pre-Release 6 [File Manager] (Please Test)

John Bentley's picture
Submitted by John Bentley on August 11, 2007 - 4:34pm

Xenon is a file manager with locally stored file extensions. This is a complete rewrite of Xenon in AutoIt (the second rewrite actually). It should work on most computers now. The assoc.ini file has the icons and file associations. There are no default portable applications set to open files but there are lines commented out that enable most files to be launched.

Edit: Pre-Release 3 adds many features including copy+paste, a context menu, and plugin system.
Edit: Pre-Release 4 includes a zip extraction program based on 7-Zip for n00bs called 6-Zip and plugin examples and installers.
Edit: Pre-Release 5 fixes some bugs in the plugin system and some plugins. Settings are also added.
Edit: Pre-Release 6 adds muti-language features. If you can translate then please post translated lang_ll_LL.ini files. Also added was a new menu with a list of filetypes.

To install a plugin just run an executable in /App/xenon/plugins/.

Personally, I liked the icon

Personally, I liked the icon sizes better on the older version. Though, if I'm correct, you changed the menus a little, didn't you? Anyway, I'd work on the copy-and-pasting before working on the visual effects if it were me.

What icon sizes? Those new menus are really easy to add so it makes no difference except that you get icons.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm pretty sure the sizes were smaller in the other version.

A3LImageList is a part of Auto3Lib available at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33677

ModernMenu_A3L.au3 is a modifed version of ModernMenu.au3 that works with Auto3Lib for making the menu have icons. I am going to remove them both in the next release though. I uploaded ModernMenu_A3L.au3 for you.

Looking Great

Only things I would like to see is a "Refresh" option. Since when you use the Show Hidden Files option you have to switch dirs for it to kick in.

Another handy feature would be an "Open With" right-click.

Other than that great work. Smiling
