Thanks. I can live with it. Just wanted to be sure you knew about it, could reproduce it, and maybe fix sometime down the road.

Sorry to offend you. I'm just saying my first post had the exact steps to recreate the problem. You asked that I go farther and modify the ListDateFormats, echo the format date, and reboot. I did the empirical research, reported it, and didn't complain. All information needed to reproduce the proble...

It's a little frustrating I need to go to that level of testing, but I did it. Basically, the first delimiter found in the system region short date setting is used for the entire date string in XYplorer. Since I used a space then it became "Sat 4 12 2025". If I used a slash, then it's &quo...

I'm also out of ideas. How do I get this on the bug list for a possible fix in the future? Web site and program always points me to this forum.

If if set region setting for short date to: ddd M/d/yyyy
When I run: echo formatdate(, "ddd M/d/yyyy");
I get: Fri 4 11 2025
I only need to restart XYplorer, but I've also restarted File Explorer and rebooted. Same results.
Seems like a bug to me.

I did as you suggested. As expected, the slashes (/) were missing even though the config file had "ddd M/d/yyyy". If my regional settings are "ddd M/d/yyyy", XYplorer won't display a dash in the date regardless of which date format I set in XYplorer. Definitely a bug in my view. ...

Thanks for the reply. I would like to have the instructions for the config file. I see date settings in appdata\roaming\xyplorer\xyplorer.ini, but probably best if you confirm the proper change. By the way, I also noticed if my region settings are "ddd M/d/yyyy" and I pick "mm'dd'yyyy...

I have my Windows 11 regional settings set to show the short date as "M/d/yyyy". This shows the modified date as "4/10/2025" correctly in XYplorer. If I change my regional settings to "ddd M/d/yyyy", XYplorer shows "Thu 4 10 2025". The slashes are missing. Win...

I believe this is a problem with Bitdefender and XYplorer. I've tried tweaking Bitdefender settings and made improvements. XYplorer is not quite the same speed of Windows File Explorer, but very close. I also had problem with errors and the context menu never appearing, and that's gone away now. I'v...

Correct and Correct.

Here's a few examples. I've believe all shell extensions are disabled. Problem still exists in XYplorer if 64-bit context menu is enabled in Shell Integration. File explorer shows the menu instantly.

C: Drive
Folder
Text File

As far as I know, I've disabled my shell extensions. Here's a screen shot of my context menu. It's instantaneous with File Explorer. It's only slow with XYplorer. If Windows File Explorer was slow, I'd agree. I can believe it's an XYplorer setting that I have enabled that others don't, but can't fig...

I've had similar problems with 64-bit context menu (slow, errors, etc.). I reported my issue in https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=25459. Until there's a fix, I've had to disable it. The best options I found were to disable "hide shell extensions from shell context menu" in Gene...

For me, Windows File Explorer is practically instantaneous. I get full context menu with no delay. In XYplorer, the first time the menu takes at least 5 seconds. Sometimes it never opens, more likely after I've used XYplorer for a while with normal use. A few times, I get an XYplorer fatal error mes...

The problem has been around for a long time. I opened this post in Nov. 2022, so it's been around at least 1 1/2 years. I believe I was on version 23.7 at that time. I just recently spent hours narrowing down the problem after dealing with it for so long. There's not yet a promise when it will be fi...
