Rename Mapped Drive Does Not Work (Beta 6.80.0058)
Possibly due to recent fixes to support Vista drive mapping I am unable to modify a mapped drive name. Have tried F2, right-click Rename and Properties edit. When attempt to edit on either Vista or XP it defaults to incorrect name and does not persist any changes.

Confirmed.
BTW, under XP at least, Explorer will also default to the wrong name when you go via Properties.

Hi and welcome to the XY world!TestMeister wrote:(I am a new user so apologies if I have missed a setup option)
As you've now seen, a reply normally comes pretty quick on this forum!
Don doesn't always reply in 12 min, but it's not unusual either...
That's a bit part of the reason why we just think he and XY are greatest!
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

As I have told Don, this product is so great it's really hard to explain it to others. Perhaps the best compliment I can pay is that even the Linux gear-heads who hate MS with a passion are very impressed.

Yes, would be nice. Although I can hardly believe that it will really work. A file manager is extremely close to the OS in many aspects... I don't think you can just map Windows on Linux without losses. But if they can, hey ho!fishgod wrote:I'm using Linux on my notebook and try to get an equivalent app of any of my favorite windows-apps, some work with wine, unfortunately XY not.admin wrote:Tell them that XYplorer can be used on Linux soon!

For those interested, i am now using XY in ubuntu. I said WOW when this happened!! But it needs wine-doors (a windows layer for linux) which has an option of installing VB6 libraries.fishgod wrote:I'm using Linux on my notebook and try to get an equivalent app of any of my favorite windows-apps, some work with wine, unfortunately XY not.admin wrote:Tell them that XYplorer can be used on Linux soon!

I am using it mainly for searching which is great. plus MDBU works from info panel not list. The usage is bit limited and looks are also not so good (fonts messed up) I am still figuring out how to open files, since there is no open with. also, XY shows errors and hangs when navigating Menu>views and right-clicking on columns. Otherwise XY is stable for most part. See screenshot:
Update: sorry, MDBU works fine in list too (forgot to turn the feature ON).
I dont know if i need all of these but using wine-doors i installed VB common controls, VB runtime libraries and gdiplus winxp library. just to let you know.

BTW, VB common controls are not needed for XY, just the runtime (msvbvm60.dll) and gdi+.

You are right, on my other PC i just needed those two and all worked fine. Ofcourse not everything is functional, but atleast i am able to use UDC and open my fav apps from catalog, the MDBU, and all search features etcadmin wrote:Wow, I'm really surprised this works! Cool, cool, cool!

I too was surprised that things worked fine right away.
There are some issues like navigating view menu and CKS gives runtime error 97 and hangs.
But otherwise, i am quite pleased to use XY on ubuntu without too many problems (partly because of .ini which is quite handy).

Okay, "navigating views menu" -- you mean when you move the mouse over the menu? At what point exactly?
Somehow I'd like to fix those little Ubuntu issues...
