XYplorer Beta Club

It doesn't happen very often, but I do occasionally delete folders with many thousands of files ... Android stuff is messy.
On an SSD we are talking seconds. On my NAS, deleting that many files can block XYplorer for several minutes. Yes, the dreaded network drives again

I see, damn. Damn Microsoft.

So, background processing does have nothing to do with it? Because Shift-deletion works without quirks without background processing.

Too bad, but makes sense.

It's this one:
I also made an animated GIF showing what happens:

Do you have [Configuration | General | Safety Belts, Network | Network | Assume that mapped network drives are available] enabled?
If so, disable this setting and the folder tree should auto-refresh as expected (viewtopic.php?p=227395#p227395).

In case the title doesn't describe what I whish for because I don't know the right technical terms: I'd like to be able to change settings in the Configuration window, and use XYplorer at the same time without having to close the Configuration window first. I think this would help people hunting bug...

OMG, this one took a while to figure out! All the way back to 2010 and the change log for version v9.00.0021 :shock: :biggrin: For a while now, when trying to delete a file/folder permanently, the deletion dialogue sometimes opened in the background. Copying settings from a fresh installation into m...

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...
