Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
Is it not fixed in v26.00.0307??? Unfortunately, no. Problem remains unchanged for me on 307. Sorry. Edit/Addendum: The environment for both JPEGView.exe launched from XYplorer and Explorer respectively is identical in the parts that differ for cmd. It doesn't inherit the 32-bit based envs cause it...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
The command shell obviously inherits XYplorers environment That's standard Windows behaviour Yea that's why I said "obviously" ;) What happens if you run the command prompt from XY, execute: set PROGRAMFILES=%ProgramW6432% and then your start <imgname>.jpg ? Still get the prompt. Setting ...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
For comparison, here's also the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg as a zip. It has a different content type (image/jpg vs application/jpg), no clue if that's normal. Only .jpg points to "JPEGView.Document". JPEG is identical otherwise, but just missing that entry. That entry has the weirdest content...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
Well I can maybe narrow it down a bit more. It seems to be tied to the environment of XYplorer somehow, so it must be something tied to that. When I start a command prompt from XYplorer in the folder where I want to open an image (Ctrl-Alt-P), and execute "start <imgname>.jpg" I get the pr...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
Result as it should be, I assume? see screenshot While making the screenshots, I've noticed something rather weird: the association works just fine with PNG files currently. I've opened one of the PNG screenshots, and that directly opened the viewer (no "open with" prompt). Your command al...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
It actually doesn't say. But that isn't limited to JPEG files, the tooltip is much shorter than your example. Also no other file type tooltip has that information, including those that open fine without any "open with"-prompt (like PDF). Since I've used XYplorer for a long time, I might ha...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"
I also just ran into this problem. XYplorer just won't open the assigned windows default silently. It happens to also apply to JPG files, but not exclusively. I've also had it happen with non-image files, just not very recently. I don't want to use CFA cause setting one default should be enough, and...

Re: Minimized window misbehaviour on resolution change
Sorry for not participating much in my own issue. Yes, I'm still around and still using XYplorer when possible.
Can also confirm the issue is fixed as far as I can tell. Just explicitly tested again with the most recent version (21.30.0000) and it properly resizes now.
Thanks a lot for the fix!

Re: Minimized window misbehaviour on resolution change
Wow it surely has been a hot minute, appreciate the update very much! Also first heard about the 64 bit / C# version through this, so appreciate it even more! Can't wait!
And yes, this bug still exists in the current release version, and is still annoying me almost daily

Re: Custom Copy ("Backup To...") showing useless "time remaining"
Sorry for the late reply, somehow I missed the reply-notification mail. The formula for estimating the remaining time is very simple. Say you have copied 200 MB of 800 MB total, and this took 1 second, then the whole job is estimated to take 4 seconds, so the remaining time is estimated to be 3 seco...

Custom Copy ("Backup To...") showing useless "time remaining"
Hello, it's been a while since I've posted any bugs or complaints, since this is seriously one of the best pieces of software I know (and use constantly). But recently I've come to use the "Backup to..." function a bit more. I assume that just means the "custom copy" in general, ...

Re: Custom Copy fails to request elevation
Ok somehow I missed that, did a quick search but apparently I fail at picking keywords, sorry 
Gonna look into the blacklist file, maybe I'll stick with manual elevation for now, I think I prefer that (even though it's cumbersome).
Thanks!

Custom Copy fails to request elevation
Hi, firs of: thanks for finally implementing this, I've been hoping/waiting for this for quite a LONG time! Just awesome :D Unfortunately, while the old implementation correctly requests elevation when needed, custom copy doesn't. The simplest way to reproduce this is to just do a "Ctrl-C, Ctrl...
