      Looking better :)
      The sorting is good, but the icons are still scrambled in Win2000, in the lower window.

      I also use the latest version and I don't have any problems with WIN XP Prof.

      The icon problem appears only on W2k.

      Why does the tree have to be updated when switching applications? I'm working on a pc with slow hd's so it takes forever to update the tree. It would be nice to update only the currently opened folders or only update the tree at the start of notepadd++ (and on a update button).

      I agree with Rafa.  Every time I bring NotePad++ back into focus, the Explorer plugin locks up...seemingly to "refresh" itself or something.  This occurs even if no changes have been made to any file on any drive.

      There are several problems regarding the automatic update:

      1: It was often requested and therefore I add this nice functionality.
      2: Update on W9x platforms. There is no way to get an interrupt or a notification from the system when something was changed. Therefore I have only one routine for all systems.
      3: Network devices slows down the explorer update when the network device is not available but mounted.

      What plan I to do to make it faster:
      1: My first step, and this one is finished, is to update only correct mounted devices.
      2: To add the suggestion of Rafa. Good idea. I don't know why the idea didn't just occurred to me.

      Both steps will be published in a patched version. 1.2.1

      Best Regards
      Jens
