XYplorer Beta Club

Well, I finally upgraded!

Good to see that the latest XYplorer is still fully compatible with Windows 7, for most other software you have to dig into older versions and find out the latest one that worked.

Fun fact: I don't have either pdf or epub thumbnails in Windows Explorer, but I don't care 'cause I never use it

Thank you admin for pointing me in the right direction!

Also in the forums I found mention of a new Thumbs64Ext option in the ini file, again not sure if related but I added epub there as well. no change.

Yes, my own post One of the many things I had tried, but not combined with the right handler.

Try this script: extlist("thumbs64", "epub", "a"); //add epub to the 64-bit Thumbnails Yes, this fixed it! I tried it before but I guess I was using the 32 bit libraries, which is not needed anymore. Works right away with the current versions of DarkThumbs and XYplorer...

I only can speak about Windows 11 actual official version. I updated Dark Thumbs to the newest version with no negative effects. It runs on any tool I tried except for XY. Yes of course! CBX Shell and DarkThumbs are two similar tool and they are both great, lightweight and effective. They were also...

...new "64 bit" options...? These are more than 10 years old. Which version of XY are you using? ..new to me ;) I tried the same steps with multiple versions, including the latest one, but to no effect. Anyway I don't have that many epubs, mostly PDFs, and .pdf thumbs are easy (just one s...

DarkThumbs is based on CBX Shell, maybe that's why it doesn't work? CBX Shell used to work very well, as documented here in the forums, but not anymore, at least on my system. Tried the usual steps in every possible way today but no luck. I remember that MysticThumbs also worked on Windows 7 x64, bu...

Thank you, so the issue may be with CBX Shell? I'll double-check that the 32-bit DLLs were actually replaced, and the registry keys... and then at possible replacements for CBX Shell. Difficult? You just need a Codec. Well, in theory it's not difficult, just four steps, but it doesn't always work an...

No, just the standard epub icon.

So getting epub thumbnails was so difficult last time that I took notes of all the steps, and I think I reused them at least once and they worked, but sadly not this time... I recently reinstalled Win 7 and XYplorer with my custom ini files (for the product key and settings, including "Show thu...

Thanks. These are my settings, do you see anything different that may explain why thumbs.db remains locked on my system and prevents folder operations?

Thumbnails Tree an List

Is anyone using XYplorer for folder operations on a NAS successfully?

Windows 10
ASUSTOR NAS
latest ADM version

Another workaround, and one that always works, is to perform the folder operation from the file explorer in the NAS admin tools but that is also time-consuming.

Since I moved most of my files to a NAS I am having issues when trying to rename, delete, or move folders. It's annoying because you have to click or press Esc through a series of prompts from XYplorer and Windows, even before attempting troubleshooting (which usually requires closing XYplorer, tryi...
