XYplorer Beta Club

It's not just in the drive root but further down the file system inside other folders as well.

But, who's got time to fix their OS when there are more pressing matters to take care of ... like Clippy ... or AI Clippy

So good to see that XYplorer continues to be so much better than any other file explorer. The error message for a >=255 characters name in v28.00.0567 works very well. The bug that prevents deleting files/folder with names that have 255 characters still seems to be present. The changelog for v28.00....

1) Ah right, I should have tested with a fresh instance. Now it got more complicated 😁 Firstly, it doesn't make a difference whether i paste a long string as the name, or if I type the string by holding down a letter key. Secondly, when I click onto some empty space in the list view to (try to) make...

XYplorer v28.00.0558 handles overlong pathnames very well, as long as individual file and folder names (including extension) are <=254 characters. Thanks a lot! I created five nested folders with 254 characters each, and creating and dragging files and folders within the lowest folder did not crash ...

Hm, I did some more testing, and XYplorer doesn't always crash. Like, I created a folder with 254 characters inside a folder with 254 characters, and created a new text file inside. I was able to drag that text file to another folder successfully. But, testing some more, I still get XYplorer to cras...

When handling files/folders with overlong paths, XYplorer (v28.00.0534 x64, fresh install, Win 10, scaling 100%) crashes instantly. I set "LogToFile=4", but the crash happens before a logfile could be written. With handling, I mean drag & drop, but right-click cut and paste can trigger...

I know you are aware of this bug and would just like to add that the garbled graphics do affect the Windows Taskbar as well (I added the orange rectangles for privacy reasons): error_2.png Whatever is causing the XYplorer surface to get corrupted, it also corrupts a Windows component or the graphics...

While browsing my zigbee2mqtt folder, XYplorer (x64 v27.90.0032) suddenly crashed without an error message. After a lot of trial and error, I found that an NTFS junction with a long target >=113 characters caused the crash. Furthermore, EnableCustomFileIcons can make things worse. How to replicate t...

Damn, I forgot to report the version information (x64 v27.90.0032) I just opened a fresh instance, activated Dual Pane, clicked on the "Documents" tab in the upper pane and dragged a file onto the "Desktop" tab in the lower pane ("Desktop" and "C:\" were prese...

When doing drag & drop, hovering the mouse cursor over an inactive tab in the active pane will make XYplorer switch to that tab. This feels natural and it allows dropping source files/folders into subfolders of the target tab. With Dual Pane view, XYplorer does not switch to (or activate) inacti...

I'd like the hover activation too :biggrin: (just deleted my bug report about this same issue) It's not just a usability enhancement, but also something users expect based on the behaviour of XYplorer within the active pane. I was puzzled by XYplorer not switching to the inactive tab in the inactive...

Tested on Windows 10 and 11.

Did you do a "shift + del"? I tried it again and I got the result shown in "shift-delete.gif". 1) Make a new folder on a mapped network drive in XYplorer (fresh v27.90.0012 with default settings). 2) Enter the folder. 3) Shift-delete the folder in Windows Explorer. => The folder ...

Oh, I see. I hunted down this setting by copying parts of my XYplorer.ini into a fresh ini, and mistakenly associated "WatchDuringFileOp" with the adjacent "WatchIt" ("; Tweak: |-separated list of locations to watch ..."). In that case, fixing deleted folders not gettin...
