Line 7
Public CRLF As String = Chr$(10) & Chr$(13)
You can use
gb.CrLf for this.
Thanks, I discovered that later, after releasing it. Anyway, it's good to know!

I saw no images as line similar to this point to a non existent folder
Version 0.7.4 has the absolutes removed. I disliked that too, but at the time that was less important since I had the images allover the place.

This works: -
PictureBox1.Picture = Picture[Application.Path &/ "Icons/Info-60x60.png"]
This works even better:
PictureBox1.Picture = Picture[strIconsPath & "Info-60x60.png"]

There are about 170 lines of code to resize the Form.
The event was used to trigger many other changes that were lost after commenting the lines, so the most important functionality of the file manager, is lost.
...
Thanks for the idea with the splitters. I had a long hesitation, I belive I even procrastinated some because I had to ponder if I need those.
Due to the particular functionality of this file manager, I wanted to prevent this kind of resizing, so I quit the idea of using splitters, although it is a nice feature.
Maybe if I can find a solution to resize the PicBoxes according to the context, I'll use those. Otherwise, they create more trouble than they help.
Actually, I never meant to create a file manager since it is useless, among file managers like DoubleCommander. I explained that in User's Guide.
It's there for a functionality that it is available
only in DirLister, and nowhere else. THAT functionality, has gone due to those changes.

I have switched from GTK to QT as it is faster.
Bad choice! I use XFCE. And it is unlikely to switch to Qt. Takes endless hours to find the configuration I need and the functionality I already have on my computer.
I explained that also in the User's Guide. While I was still blogging, there were lots of articles on this subject so I forgot what I said, where, when...
Besides, I altready tried to move to some LXQT and had too many trouble with too many things so I gave it up.
What I need is a very stable machine. Nothing fancy. Effects, backgrounds, mean absolutely nothing to me.

In the help file you mention 'march' and 'february'. In English these should be 'March' & 'February'.
Typos...
I use a US KB layout but I write in Romanian so I use a "blind" layout. Sometimes I forget to synchronize things. Switching from one layout to another, sometimes brings this inconvenience. In Romanian they are common nouns so if I copied those from some sentence that was close, might be the explanation.
CONCLUSION:
Interesting ideas! Thanks!
I belive that any different perspective over the same thing, is a gain!
It is less important if I, or you, use the exact same idea. What really matters is the THINKING DIFFERENT process that is triggered!
Maybe in another project, I'll take a different approach.
... On a secoond thought: I surely HAVE TO test a different approach!
Afterall, that's the idea of programming: finding always new ideas to test, improve, then test again [...]. That's the fun, I guess!
