Re: Trim some milisecs off my startup?

Thanks again Don and Highend. I changed a couple of tweaks and restarted Windows. It's a bit faster now. 1.363 seconds compared to 1.227 for a fresh run. It's noteworthy that I have a bunch of custom toolbar buttons with custom images. Also I use automatic color formatting. I have custom icons in my...

Now that you mention it... It has been 8 days, 19 hrs, and 2 mins since that last restart.

GetText from inactive Tab(s)?

Script question. Someone pointed me to this very cool tool someone made with Autohotkey https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9881 It "sees" what folder is open in XYplorer (and a couple of other managers) and then, if I invoke a Windows Save As or Open dialog, it shows a...

Trim some milisecs off my startup?

Hi All, I haven't been to the forum in a while -- I hope you're all well. Seems like xy has been loading a bit sluggishly lately... Given the info below, does anything jump out at you guys as a likely culprit? XY ver: XYplorer 24.20.0200 - Lifetime License Enterprise OS: Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, Vers...

All fine. I just needed to change the syntax of my definitions. Thanks Don.

Started working after I did the above RWIE trick. I can't image why that would fix it(??) Oh well.. I won't complain :biggrin:

Thanks HighEnd! How are you, by the way?

Re: Custom File Icons not working?

Again with the missing icon images in xy and in Win Exp... After posting, I remembered that I learned a workaround a long time ago: Get the old beta version of Real World Icon Editor, go to Preferences > File associations. Then let RWIE be associated with Windows Icons. After doing that, they appear...

Re: Custom File Icons not working?

Again on the CFI problem... I created a new rule, then browsed to the icon file. If I do that, the little icon next to the rule does show the generic white rectangle (rather than the gray circle question mark). So that's an improvement, I guess. The CFI is still not appearing though (Note the "...

Re: Custom File Icons not working?

There's actually a similar, but different problem in my above linked screenshot.... It is true (and annoying) that my ICO files never show the image of the icon. The default icons on my folders are all good though. (btw this happens in Window Explorer too) Also related to icons (but off topic for th...

Re: Custom File Icons not working?

Thanks Highend. I see that you don't have the <xyicons> part at all. I tried removing that from mine. No joy.

Edit here is a screenshot btw..

Custom File Icons not working?

Have you guys been using CFIs lately? I just tried using the ones from here: https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11635 Haven't used them for several years. Can't get them to work... The rule definitions, icon folder, and everything should be the same--yes? Edit: I also tried -start...

Love the new 'Content-based' folder colors!

Very cool new feature! On a related note there is a possible error here: https://www.xyplorer.com/release_23.50.php Configuring the Color Filters in the Configuration dialog (Ctrl+F9). Our filter is at position 3. (Click to zoom) On my setup, Ctrl+F9 opens the Custom File Associations. (Though I may...
