I will soon release the interim version 4.2 of Folders Popup. But, before that, I would like to test these new features with the FP beta users group. If you are not already part of this group, please join in! This beta test phase should last one or two weeks. See download instructions at the end of this post.
What's new in v4.2
Folders Popup v4 is here with brand new features and improvements. Thank you again to users for their suggestions and to beta testers for their help in making FP doing it right!
What's new
The 4th generation of Folders Popup is on its way. I'm now ready to distribute a beta version and ask for your participation in making it bug-free. As usual, your comments and suggestions to make it an always greater tool are welcome!
The main addition of v4 is the brand new Group of folders menu (previously named "Switch"). As before, it makes it easy to switch to any folders currently open in an Explorer or a Directory Opus window. But, the menu now allows to save and restore groups of windows. Consider these two scenarios and you'll be convinced...
Folders Popup is now available in Swedish language, thanks to Åke Engelbrektson.
Also, FP is now aware of Total Commander and offer a reliable and seamless support to TC windows ans tabs. More info here: Using Folders Popup with Total Commander.
Thanks to Horst Epp, I learned that the default shortcut Windows-K used in Folders Popup to open the popup menu is now used by Windows 8/8.1 (it was available until Windows 7). In the next FP major release (v4, to be released in a few weeks probably), I will change the default shortcut key. This will not affect current user since their shortcut key is registered in the folderspopup.ini file. But for FP new installations, the default will be changed to one of the only few shortcut keys left available by Microsoft.
In order to determine what should be the new shortcut, I'd like to have Folders Popup users opinion: please, answer this SURVEY.

Even if I give paid it less attention in recent months, my CSV Buddy software continues to receive good reviews. Here's one that takes a bit as a tutorial: CSV Buddy: Edit CSV Files And Export Them To Other Formats (thanks to Rajat Sharma).
CSV Buddy is a useful and easy to use free software to edit CSV files and export them to other formats. It provides a hassle free way to edit your CSV files and save them to a variety of popular formats. With features like a simple tabbed interface, ability to handle extremely heavy CSV files (over 100 MB), and direct previews via Notepad, CSV Buddy is quite a solid application overall.
Folders Popup is now available in Korean language, thanks to 엄일성 (Om Il-Sung, aka Dollnamul). To support this new language, the 32-bit version of Folders Popup is now distributed in with Unicode encoding (64-bit version has always been). Windows XP 32-bit users, let me know if experience problems with this version.

FoldersPopup v4 ready for beta test – testers wanted
Release v3.2 of Folders Popup in now ready for beta tests. This release includes mainly additions that improve integration of FP with for Directory Opus (DOpus) version 11. Although, it is not freeware, DOpus is a remarkable file manager program that can replace Windows Explorer and proposes lots of features, including file compression and FTP capabilities. Take note that I'm not affiliated with the GPSoft (developers of Directory Opus) in any way. However, I'm thanking them for their support.
Regular Windows Explorer users will also find enhancements and bug fixes in this release.
