I published a new version of Explorer. Now all known issues are fixed.
This version is tested on W2k and XP. Let me know if there are troubles on other OS.
Here the change log:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
07/09/19 v1.5.2 :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix: Opening of files with 0 bytes now working correctly
Fix: Deadlock on W2k machines while startup of Explorer dialog removed
Fix: Filtering the list is now case insensitive
Fix: Filtering the list causes folder lock (delete were not possible)
Change: Now automatic update on activate of Notepad is optional
Have fun

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you switch betweeen Notepad and other dialogs, an automatic update of explorer would be forced. It's usefull to keep explorer view correct after adding folders or files in Windows Explorer or any other file manager.

Ability to turn off size checking - I remember in the code it checks the size of the files, but this is not really necessary, if size header is not enabled. This would speed up the program.
Keyboard shortcuts - Del to delete, F2 to rename

Can put the "Folder of current file" icon & "Refresh" icon in front of "New File" icon?
To me, they are mostly used. And seems "User Folder" is never used.
Because I want the space of the text editor to be larger, so I will make the width of the docked Explorer smaller, and so some icons are invisible("Folder of current file" icon & "Refresh" icon).

I was wondering if it's possible to have a setting which would turn off extracting icons? I did a similar hack on an earlier version and it sped up navigation greatly.
Also, couple of ideas for future versions
Snippet Folders - ability to add a folder to be used as a snippet. So double clicking a child item of such a folder would insert it into the currently opened document.
Alt-F1 would initiate a drive/Favorites dropdown
F4 would hide/expand the sidebar similar to Opera

Why after I have unchecked the "Separate Extensions" in Explorer Options Dialog, the "Ext." still appear(with nothing in each row)?
This is a feature! Now you can sort by extensions with the ability of attached extensions. If you have long file names, you will see what I mean...
What is the use of "Automatic Update on focus"?
If you switch betweeen Notepad and other dialogs, an automatic update of explorer would be forced. It's usefull to keep explorer view correct after adding folders or files in Windows Explorer or any other file manager.
OK here (Win2K SP4)
Great work, thanks

Couple of other ideas for whenever you have time:
Ability to turn off size checking - I remember in the code it checks the size of the files, but this is not really necessary, if size header is not enabled. This would speed up the program.
Keyboard shortcuts - Del to delete, F2 to rename
I didn't get you. What for a size check. Can you tell me the function name or position in code you guess it slows down the explorer.
Best Regards

Thanks for this great plugin,

"Keyboard shortcuts - Del to delete, F2 to rename"
And also F5 to reload.
