Really like the new added features.   Thmbsup
Bet you never thought in a million years this question would be coming...  cheesy
How difficult would it be to add the ability of editing a couple of the fields in the "info  box"?  Title, Subject and Keywords.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in the Xpdf package that would allow me to edit fields.

No problem.  It would just have saved a few extra clicks.
I can launch a selected PDF to bring it up in PDF-Xchange, click properties, make my change(s) and re-save.  Only thing is the change(s) do not show up in PDFInfoGUI until I close it, re-start and re-load the folder. Or selecting all, deleting and re-entering the folder again.  I understand why this is, though probably not in the correct  technical terms.

Would there be a way to refresh the list with the same folder to pick up the changes without closing and restarting PDFInfoGUI?  Or deleting all and re-entering the folder again?  Just trying to save some steps.

I will very often save articles off the Internet, as "print to pdf" files. I will not take the time to edit properties, but merely give them descriptive filenames. This means that PDFInfoGUI is showing some 200 files in my ebook-folder to have no titles,,  so it becomes tedious for me to scroll horizontal to read which file is which. Is it possible to add the option to change order of columns?

As said, I have a ebook-folder. Any chance of a "fav folder"-button?

Remember what you said, because in a day or two, I'll have a witty and blistering retort! You'll be devastated THEN!

You already can.  Simply drag-n-drop the columns in whichever order you wish.  Their order and widths will automatically be saved when you exit the program.

Let me see what I can come up with.  Thanks for the feedback.
