XYplorer Beta Club

I have now tested it with VLC Player on long path aware Win10 and can confirm what you see. The DOS 8.3 is correctly passed to the shell context menu, and then Windows takes over and apparently (black box) converts that path back to a long path internally before passing it to VLC. Nothing I can do a...

Strange, it worked on my long path enabled Windows 10. Or are you using the 64-bit context menu?

It's not a links list or any other kind of jump list. The idea is to lift branches of special interest from somewhere deep in the real tree to the top, where you can access them quickly and conveniently. Ideally you completely collapse This PC and work just in RAF.

On a LongPathAware Windows 10, I could see problems with overlong items, and have now fixed them (25.90.0152). However, I could not reproduce your problem, so it remains a thrill.

The tree is never in Date Modified order.

Low prio.

Hmm, never happened to me.

Are you talking about deleting items from the Recycle Bin?

OK, it could be done, but it's not really worth the pain IMO.

No, everything here is done correctly and works perfectly. There must be another factor. Can anyone else reproduce overlong items still not opening in applications that do not support overlong items?

Indeed! Try 25.90.0151.
