Opening a shortcut to an app in the System32 folder starts the app in the wrong folder on a 64-bit OS

By starts in the wrong folder I mean the app is running from System32 as expected, but the working directory in the app is different from what you expected. Steps to reproduce: Create a shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe Change the "start in" shortcut property to a folder of your choi...

Re: Custom Copy changes the date created and date modified when it shouldn't

Yeah, on Windows 11 both intra-volume and over the network copy & replace are working as expected. Moves are also working as expected. It's just cross-volume copy & replace that's off. When I try it on Windows 11 I get this: cross-volume replace file, dates in target file: modified created c...

Re: Custom Copy changes the date created and date modified when it shouldn't

As I said, I think this is a bug. Why only cross-volume? Why only copies (not moves)? Doesn't make sense. Smells like a Windows 11 bug. I found that Custom Copy has different results for Windows 7 and Windows 11 in this particular case. So it could be a bug or a change in Windows 11 that impacts Cu...

Re: Custom Copy changes the date created and date modified when it shouldn't

Indeed! My script tests with empty folders, and it's only empty folders that keep the modified date from before the copy. What confused me is that shell copy is using lazy writes. So the modified date on a copy of a folder starts out the same as the original folder, but changes to the time the folde...

Re: Custom Copy changes the date created and date modified when it shouldn't

In an effort to make testing easier and more consistent, I wrote a script to automate the file operations and draw up a report. The script uses Pane 1 as the source folder and Pane 2 as the target folder. Custom Copy is tested automatically but you would still need to direct the shell to resolve a f...

Re: Custom Copy changes the date created and date modified when it shouldn't

Understood. It's more accurate to say that Custom Copy hasn't been designed to match this aspect of native behavior. To match the native copy and move, it would be necessary for Custom Copy to change the dates in some cases. For example: to implement a cross-volume move you must create the files on ...

Re: Wish: option to treat files/dirs that begin with '.' as if they had hidden attribute set

How about a script in a custom toolbar button to change both at the same time?

Code: Select all

#493;$h=get("#493");if(!($h xor get("#497"))){#497;}ctbstate($h);

Custom Copy changes the date created and date modified when it shouldn't

After certain operations, Custom Copy updates the dates on files and folders when it shouldn't have, based on the behavior of the native implementation of copy and move in Windows. I've attached a table highlighting the differences I found. I'm running XYplorer 23.10 on Windows 11, and using only NT...

Sort and filter the "aspect ratio" special property by the quotient

Currently the "aspect ratio" special property appears to be sorting by the first number in the ratio and then the second number, with some odd behavior around numbers with decimal points. Using relational operators with this property in filters (e.g., prop:#AspectRatio: >= 2:1 ) doesn't do...
