Project: XWorkplace
XWorkplace is the successor to Ulrich Möllers popular XFolder WPS-Enhancer utility. It contains all of its features and a lot of new ones. XWorkplace is Open Source software under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL), probably making it the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the planet. Everyone is kindly invited to join the project and contribute -- be it small bugfixes, or add the feature that you've always wanted to see in the WPS.Some of the features of XWorkplace are:
- All the features of XFolder 0.85, of course, except the bugs. XFolder is no longer maintained.
- Much better navigation and access of objects in the WPS through things like folder content menus and object hotkeys.
- Folder enhancements such as status bars and global sort settings.
- Folder split views a la Windows.
- Enhanced file operations: a trash can, which intercepts all WPS deletes, and a new implementation for data file associations.
- Many keyboard and mouse enhancements similar to those of NPS WPS and WarpEnhancer, such as sliding focus.
- Lots of new settings pages everywhere to make your system configuration easier ("Sounds" object, "WPS Class List" object, "Drivers" and "System paths" pages in "OS/2 Kernel", and much, much more).
- New system sounds.
- A "virtual desktops" feature.
- Enhanced WPS backup mechanisms.
- A complete rewrite of the OS/2 shutdown procedure. You can skip hung apps, automatically reboot, and even reboot to another partition.
