    Can't copy files/folders with Q-Dir


    I have been using Q-Dir for years. This is a dual-pane file manager.For the last 2 months I have been having problems dragging files and or folders from one pane to another. When I do so, Q-Dir suddenly closes. But I can copy files and folders to Windows File Explorer. Is anyone else having the same problems with Q-Dir?Is there another dual-pane file manager that is simple like Q-Dir?Also, is there a way I can bring up 2 instances of Windows File Explorer?

    :)

    How to specify folders' viewing preferences in Q-Dir ?

    Hi,

    I'm using Q-Dir 7.35 as an alternative to File Explorer.

    I would like to know how to save viewing preferences for each folder I open with Q-Dir (or with File explorer, for that matter).

    For example, the <Fish> folder would open in Q-Dir (or File Explorer) with Small Icons all listed alphabetically, while the <Olifant> folder would be displayed with Large Icons while organized by file types (jpg, pdf, text files, etc.)

    I hope I'm making sense *Huh.

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
