Re: How do I debug file access?

I turned off Auto-Refresh (Include network locations) for testing purposes, but that didn't help for some reason. Here is a new GIF, showing that I managed to right-click an exe twice, and it disappearing after the third right click. Changing to another folder and back shows how the normal context m...

Re: How do I debug file access?

And just when I said it couldn't be done, I managed to capture a GIF:

The interesting part is the context menu. I guess that XYplorer fails to get the file information and therefore shows a default context menu instead. It's actually supposed to look like this:

Re: How do I debug file access?

Yes, it happens with "fresh;" too. ScreenToGif is a very good suggestion ... that I tried before ... but ... I am really bad at remembering to use it any time something weird might happen :mrgreen: It might be a combination of XYplorer trying to get some meta information and Windows blocki...

How do I debug file access?

For a long time now, I see executables on my network drive sporadically disappear and reappear in XYplorer. Like, when I view a folder, an exe file is visible, but when I right-click it, it disappears. Changing to another folder and back, the exe is there again. The second time around, the exe won't...

Re: Speed up custom icons/colours (on network drives)

Is this future as close as fusion power?
Just kidding, XYplorer was centuries ahead of any other file explorer already a century ago.
Okay, no stupid jokes this time: I could not live without XYplorer and am looking forward to the things to come, whenever that will be.

Re: Speed up custom icons/colours (on network drives)

Yeah, the problem there is ... that I kind of like to use that feature on my network drive too, because it is very useful! :biggrin:

Speed up custom icons/colours (on network drives)

Yes, another request for those pesky network drives :biggrin: The possibility to have custom icons for e.g. empty folders is great and working very well on local drives. On network drives, folders with many subfolders are very sluggish until XYplorer has checked all those folders for subfolders. Any...

Re: [help needed] Trying to combine folderreport with hash or hashlist

Thanks for your suggestions, highend and jupe.

I didn't know about extended properties. Your code works very well, thanks jupe!

Re: +++ BREAKING NEWS: XYplorer goes twinBASIC +++

Oh wow, 64-bit and multi threading sound amazing.

But ... please no Linux version! XYplorer is the only thing holding me back from ditching Windows. I am too old to get used to another OS and desperately need XYplorer as an excuse not to learn something new!!! :biggrin:

[solved] Trying to combine folderreport with hash or hashlist

I made a button to copy the list of files in the current folder and subfolders to the clipboard: folderreport("filesrel:{fullname}<tab>{size br}","c",,"r"); The output looks like this: Test Folder\Test\test.file 3845 Some other.file 345820 ... Now I'd like to add the sh...

Oh, NTFS Alternate Data Stream sounds like a good idea. I'll look into it, thanks!

Keep labels when files/folders were moved or renamed externally

This one might be difficult to implement and I won't be sad if my wish gets rejected. When labelled (tagged?) files/folders get renamed or moved by another program (e.g. Windows Explorer or Flexible Renamer), they lose their label. Could XYplorer monitor file system changes to labelled files/folders...

Re: Tree of mapped network drive disappears

I see. I guess you are talking about the 60 seconds freeze of any program that tries to access the file system when a network drive is unavailable? Even though one might be aware of the missing network drive and only intends to e.g. save a file on a local drive. I tried to find a way to lower that t...

Re: Tree of mapped network drive disappears

Will do. Does it affect network performance? Or was the option supposed to fix something Windows messes up but can't ... because Windows excels at messing up? The point of reporting this was more that there is no obvious connection between NetworkDrivesAssumeAvailable=1 and folders not appearing in ...

Re: Tree of mapped network drive disappears

It looks like we are not quite there yet with folders not appearing in the tree :biggrin: Apparently, this bug doesn't only affect folders created with XYplorer, but other programs as well. E.g. folders created by 7zip appear in the list view, but not the tree view (and refreshing the tree view does...
