However, I have tested XFolder with several system utilities that I could reach at this time (on both Warp 3 and 4), and a number of users reported other utilities to me. The following programs seemed to be cooperative:
Moreover, since XFolder offers a number of features which are also contained in other WPS packages, you should make sure that these features are not enabled in several packages at the same time. For example, you should not enable folder status bars in both XFolder and Object Desktop, which can only lead to problems.
Warnings. The following list of incompatibilities is based on reports by users of XFolder. I have not verified these yet and include them only to save you from trouble.
Note: I do not have Object Desktop. The following is all I know. If you find out something, you're welcome to tell me, and I'll add that to this section. But please do not write me that OD does not cooperate well with XFolder. I know, and there's little I can do about it.
For all versions, the following rule applies: If you have trouble, XFolder probably conflicts with OD's folder replacement class, TSEnhFolder. If nothing else works, you can always deregister that class (using the "WPS Class list" in the "Workplace Shell" object), and you'll probably get XFolder to work.
But before that, mind the following notes:
The install program now offers you to alter the order of XFolder and the "TSEnhFolder" class in the WPS class list which is the WPS class responsible for most of the Object Desktop folder functions. I believe this should help, because then XFolder gets the chance to subclass the folder windows before Object Desktop.
Object Desktop 1.x.
I was reported that XFolder does not cooperate with the "Browse mode" feature of Object Desktop. You will have to switch this feature off, sorry.
Also, you should make sure to have the "Folder status bars" disabled in Object Desktop before enabling the respective XFolder function, or the funniest things might happen.
Finally, I was reported that XFolder keeps adding status bars to Object Desktop's "Launchpads" even where they don't belong. Apparently, these things are derived from the WPFolder class also; they have an "XFolder" page in their settings notebooks though, so you can turn off XFolder's status bars for them.
Object Desktop 2.0. Stefan Zechmeister got OD 2.0 to work with XFolder doing this:
XFolder does not work with the automatic menu selection of NPS WPS, at least
not if you are using the "Folder content" functions. Sorry, you'll have to turn that
feature off.
