XYplorer Beta Club

Edit > Recent File Operations... ? It also has a dedicated button under Customize Toolbar. Yes, I and still use that. But the problem is that the menu is changing all the time and often doesn't show a certain few destinations I use frequently. For example, if I happen to do a lot of moves or copies...

ANSWERING MY OWN POST: I later realized that the Recent File Operations menu is a dynamic menu and thus doesn't have the usual maintenance functionality as for the static menus/lists. So I created the following script to do what I needed. I used ChatGPT initially, but the script it generated didn't ...

[Using XYplorer 64bit 28.00.0300] Is there any way to edit the Recent File Operations menu? I didn't see it listed under Tools > List Management. I use this all the time and would love to have a permanent section of common operations I do. In other lists, you can do this with the '-----> mru' separa...

Maybe you should start reading a bit from Help [F1] Actually, these days it's easier to have an AI engine write the script for you, which is how I came up with this particular script.Unfortunately, it didn't know about the indenting, but otherwise after that minor correction, the script works fine....

Ok, now that I got that, things are clear. I WAS confused because other scripts I use don't indent the first line, and I didn't read anything into the other lines being indented.

Ah, ok that fixed it. But I have other scripts where at least the first line is not-indented. So the rule is that the first line can be regular but all others must be indented?

[XYplorer 64 Using 28.00.0300] Puzzled by this one. I have a toolbar button with the On left-click field set to load a script (load "myscript.xys"). When I press the button, it just displays the script (with variables assigned) in a popdown rectangle instead of doing the action of the scri...

Your only option for the tree is the middle click on a folder there, right-clicking on white doesn't return the folder on that line CEA - Clicking on items - Middle-click on folder $wt = "your path to\wt.exe"; run lax("$wt" -w 0 nt -d "<CEA_ClickedItem>"); Thanks! That...

You can't add such a call to an existing XY context menu so e.g. use a right-click on white CEA script event with $wt = "your path to\wt.exe"; run lax("$wt" -w 0 nt -d "<curpath>"); Ok, I have that working. But is there any way to make <curpath> or another variable pic...

[Using XYplorer 64bit 28.00.0006] I want a menu with an item for Opening Windows Terminal from Here -- ie. opened to the currently selected folder in the Tree or the folder currently opened in the File List. Ideally, I'd like the option to be on the context menu that pops up when I right-click on an...

What you’ve described in your first post is exactly what you need to do Thank you. The installation worked fine. Everything is working the same. The one additional thing I had to do was run XY64 in Administrator mode to enable XY64 as the default file manager in Shell Integration, then exit and res...

I'm NOT running portably, just installing into non-default locations on my computer drive.
I don't understand this running of the update command and why I don't need to change startup.ini. How do I get xy64 to point to the different data directory otherwise?

Hi, This must have been asked already, so if so, please direct me accordingly. I want to install and run the new XY64 completely independently from my existing 32-bit XYplorer for a short awhile. So I do NOT want to share the same data directory. I figure I'll just make a copy of my existing XYplore...

v26.80.0502 - 2025-02-11 11:40
+ Rich Copy/Move: The Rich Copy and Rich Move commands are now included in the
right-click context menu when dragging items from outside into XYplorer.

Thank you!

Hi, I routinely use the voidtools Everything search program as an essential adjunct to XYplorer and often drag items from it into the XYplorer List. One thing I wish I could do is drag with the right mouse and drop into XYplorer and use the Rich Copy or Move function. But the latter does not show in...
