Custom column trigger: "On Demand" (for entire list not just selected/visible items)

PROBLEM: I'm using custom columns a lot - media information, hashes, etc. It's a hassle adding and removing columns each time, when I need this info for the present list. So I'd like to leave the columns statically in the list (instead of multiple column sets), but only have the data-intense column...

crashes if columns change while column contents being calculated

If a list includes a column which takes time to calculate, or XYplorer is set to open by default with the samne layout as in the last session, inevitably sometimes it will try to calculate a column that isn't wanted for the current task. Simple examples: H x W for a folder of a few thousand images, ...

How to troubleshoot copies repeatedly not verifying 1st time if path is OK and target is reliable?

I'm doing a folder copy (as ordinary as they come) from Windows 8.1 to a file share run by Samba. The files are all photos so the filenames are shortish and normal chars, and the target is a nested folder mapped to a drive, so it's copying to X:\PIX\. I have SHA1 verification set, and using latest v...

Re: Crash in 18.00.0011

There's no code as such. I just created a new (empty) column and assigned the special property "SHA1" to it.

Crash in 18.00.0011

I'm pretty sure that I know what's going on with this crash. Windows data below (Win 8.1 x64). I had a custom column set up for SHA1. When I opened XYPlorer it was on the root list of shares for my Samba server. As soon as I chose a share to open, it (of course) started to recalculate the SHA1 hashe...

caching custom column results?

For the same reason (efficiency/speed/repeat use) as caching search results and thumbnails? I'm thinking here especially of the very slow processes like calculated columns, and columns containing hashes. There's a caching mechanism for per-file data already (thumbnails); can this be extended to crea...

Re: Add a Rename Special option: "CamelCase" to/from "space separated"

Because of the same reason as there are 6 versions of capitalisation options in the Rename Special menu, and nobody has said "there are probably 6 other variants of capitalisation changing so why don't you just write a script for it" . Sorry, that just comes over as dismissive. Just becaus...

"Recent Folders" bar, with contents able to act as drop target

I'm thinking here of situations where one goes back and froth from contents to navigation or between navigation panes. One nice option is a "Recent Folders" item in the navigation tree, because folders recently accessed are very likely to be the folders that you might want to open or drop ...

Re: Please implement a native 64 bit version

I'm using x64, but I have to ask this question to those posting: x64 native might be nice but what exact practical advantages are you hoping to get, from having your file manager be x64 rather than x32? The only benefits I can think of are access to the x64 WIndows Explorer context menu items (or at...

Abstract "Connection method" and add menu item for "Manage Connections"

I've noticed "wishes" which all come down to "Can XYplorer be made to handle X device?" , for devices that are essentially a file system which would fit right into XYPlorer, but needs some specific handler or connection to do so. This constantly comes up and given how new devices...

Add a Rename Special option: "CamelCase" to/from "space separated"

This one is quite common, and it's a pain because there is no easy alternative except manual name editing. Any chance of it being added to Rename Special? Foir example, a directory of 200 files like this: \Help\StartPage.txt \Help\InstallingModules.txt \HELP\ConfigFiles.txt It should be quite simple...

Re: Rich copy multiple folders+structure + specific file ext

Thanks. One question, what if the source is several (but not all) subfolders in a location. For example with a tree: By that I mean, rich copy the structure and *.jp* in the files and folders that are selected in the right hand contents pane. So I can select some folders and files, then rich copy on...

Rich copy multiple folders+structure + specific file ext's?

Title says it all. I have about a zillion backup folders in the root of my backup drive, and a lot of those will have folders containing jpeg/jpg images nested somewhere in them. What I'd like to do is multi-select the relevant folders which *could* contain photos I'm interested in, and copy these a...

ADB for file functions

I wandered by to suggest this and found it was mentioned about 6 months ago, but in a dead thread. MTP doesn't really handle files/folders well because of limitations in its design. So whenever I need to copy files, I end up resorting to "adb root" (for rooted devices) + "abd shell ls...
