In my local network I have two more (Windows) computers. When I look now on the "Network" top node in TreeView pane on the left side in XYP they are NOT visible. Even when I mark "Network" and press F5 they do not (re-)appear I can connect to them via commandline commands and suc...

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

@highend:

Well in this case the user can revert to the detailed criteria specification you showed before.

In all other cases (approx. 95%) the new property is shorter and will be more user friendly

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

The question from ewd24 is useful and the answer seems to work. However the solution looks (too) complicated. Why not introduce a new property "visiblyempty" which sees a folder as empty if it contain NO visible files at all? B:prop:#visiblyempty:2 would be much shorter, more understandabl...

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

As I learned I can setup color filters for certain criteria. One of the default color filters is to colorize a folder when its is currently empty. Unfortunately if this folders contains one or more (nested) empty subfolder(s) it is not seen as empty. Is there a way to specify a filter: "is empt...

Suddenly this morning after starting my computer XYplorer shows colored backgrounds for some (but not all folders) in Tree view on the left and folder list view on the right pane. Their folder name font color switch from black to (almost) white and the background of folder names from white to pink a...

How to reduce (again) big grey left border?

Accidentally I created a big grey border pane at the left side.

See attached snapshot.

I can reduce this width to a certain degree but cannot revert to the state before.
Exit and restart XYP does not help

How can I reduce the width to zero pixel?

Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Open new instance always
Yes, I enabled this.
And I want to keep this preference in general.

Only if I double click on the mentioned batch script XYplorer should jump to other directory IN THE CURRENT instance

Re: How to jump to another dir IN THE SAME XYplorer window?

xyplorer.exe /feed="::goto 'D:\tmp';" Does NOT work. As in many other suggestions XYplorer opens a NEW XYplorer instances and jumps to target directory over there. It seems to me that everyone here has disabled "Allow multiple instances". Really no way of jumping INSIDE the curr...

Re: How to jump to another dir IN THE SAME XYplorer window?

Hmm, I have never worked with the "feed" command. How does that work?

Code: Select all

XYplorer /feed myscript.txt
and simply put

Code: Select all

goto D:\tmp 
inside myscript.txt?

Where can I find all available command line parameters for XYplorer?

How to jump to another dir IN THE SAME XYplorer window?

Assume I have a simple batch script jump.bat with the following content: cd /D "D:\tools\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" D:\data When I double click on it nothing happens. How else can I tell (from within a batch script) THE CURRENT XYplorer instance to jump to another directory IN THE SAME WINDOW?...
