Re: Access to Android smartphones via MTP or via ADB protocol?

Google never considered to take down ADB.

Access to Android smartphones via MTP or via ADB protocol?

When I connect my Android smartphone via cable to my Windows computer then the Android device appears as new drive (without drive letter) in XYplorer. Good. The question now is: Does XYplorer access this drive and perform file+folder operations (copy/move/rename/delete) via windows built-in MTP prot...

Re: How to setup Color filter for empty directory TREE (=only empty folders) ?

What makes you think I would not keep my promises? And in this case, it was not a promise, it was an announcement. And what keeps you from just looking at the release notes or the help file? I revisit now this thread. I am unsure about the meaning of your statement. Does that mean it is already imp...

At least it works when I manually shorten the filename

Copy files with long path+name to Android device crashes; Meaningful popup + Auto-shorten?

Occasionally I connect my Win10 computer via USB cable with my Android 14 Smartphone/Tablet and copy some files with XYplorer from Windows to Android. This works in general. But sometimes the copy operation fails without any helpful explanation. Further investigations showed that there is a path+fil...

Drag & Drop of files not possible any more if XYplorer is opened by Everything

Since a while (most probably since I updated to v26.70.0500) I cannot drag & drop files from a directory in first XYplorer window to a second XYplorer window. This happens when I double click on a directory in well known, wide spread "Everything" search tool. The XYplorer window opened...

XYplorer cannot open folders after moving to new directory: Re-assign context menu?

in the past I ran XYplorer from a directory like this D:\tool\fileman\XYP\ It worked successfully for a long time. Recently I move the XYPlorer installation to a new folder D:\tools\file managers\XYplorer\ Mind the new space inside the path. At a first glance everything works as before. But when I r...

Re: How to one-time-update the "Network" branch with newest connected computers?

Ok, thank you.
But that is not working.
No other computer from my (small) network is listed.

Even not the local computer (on which XYPlorer is installed) is shown

Whats wrong?

Re: Bug: Occasionally file names not editable any more by slow double click

For me, regardless of the configured PDF previewer, the last previewed file is always locked, even when no longer viewed until I select another file in the pane. Yes, that seems to be the problem. But again: "Even worse: All other files in the current directory are NOT editable as well." ...
