QD6

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WINDOWS VISTA

Yes, another new version in the QDx series!

and it's even better than the previous version!

I hadn't even finished QD5 when I discovered some new programming tricks and started on QD6. I could have upgraded QD5 but I find more bugs creep in when you do that so I just started again from scratch. I kept some of the forms from QD5 but the main bulk of the code is all new.

QD6 is MUCH faster, using some clever coding I have managed to speed up the directory reading and display quite significantly. The main interface is now drawn directly onto the form instead of using controls which were slow and resource hungry. This gives me much more control over the look and feel of QD6 which means I can make it more like the original QD3 than ever before.

Most of the standard QDx features are working...

  • Keyboard and/or mouse control (QD3/Xtree Gold keys)

  • Sort file lists by name, size or date

  • DOS mode view option

  • Speed search for files in long lists

  • Numerous file tagging options including wildcard tag

  • File operations, ie Copy, Move, Delete, Rename

  • Goto any folder (slightly different to previous versions)

  • and many more

New features

  • User defined display font

  • Recycle, Delete or Wipe files

  • Copy files to/from Windows clipboard

  • Drag & Drop file copy

  • Use & modify Windows file associations

  • Multimedia player (using MCI API)

  • Uses no custom controls (ocx's), all VB code and API calls

  • and many more

Coming soon

  • ZIP file support (similar to QD3/QD5)

  • FTP file transfers (similar to QD5)

  • QD3 style associations

  • and many more
