Nice work, thanks for sharing your app.

One thing I would love to see added is a folder refresh option that is tickable in the General tab, and also specify the number of seconds until each refresh. Currently the explorer window only refreshes when PureFileMaster is the app on top (highlighted/selected), it would be great to have the explorer window refresh even when it is in the background or when other apps are the focus.

I will see what I can do for the next release. Thanks for the tips.

Maybe it's also a good idea to add a Windows default color scheme...

2) Also the spelling of 'entrys' should be corrected to 'entries'.

Added in todo list.

* Left margin width in pixels
* Top margin width in pixels
* Sequentially number the printed lines? (To enable me to quickly produce playlists for audio/video media burnt to CD/DVD)
* Include filename extension?
* Double-space vertically

I want try to improve it, but PB's print functions are very limited and the API is mostly not to easy to use. :roll:

The contains will refresh always if the main window is activated. (same effect in real TC) Why refresh if the main window has
not the main focus ? In this time the user don't work with PFM.

PFM has already a custom color scheme. You can it enable or disable with a checkbox in the main options. or what do you mean ?

I use xplorer2 over a lot of other file explorer type apps because of its realtime update of folder content, for me at least this is really useful. I often have one or two small xplorer2 folder open in the corner of my 2nd screen monitoring the downloads folders or logs or a network mapped folder etc, there's always something worth keeping an eye on for new files or size changes whilst doing something else.

Ok now I understand you. I want try to find a solution for this problem. but an permanent control is not recommend because
the cpu power can be very high.
