XYplorer Beta Club

A assume he did not get the Shift + Left click . But that his screenshot doesn't show any column headers is disturbing. :? What's actually disturbing is your unfamiliarity with your own product. What makes you assume that everyone uses details view, or that everyone wants to have to switch to detai...

That just shows the danger of using simple examples, the attached screenshot should make things clearer.

Well, it was a feature for me, because I have a legitimate use for that functionality. Any chance you could re-introduce it as an option?

That does not help, because I need the files to be sorted by type.

If I have this folder/file structure: Folder1 File1.txt File4.txt Folder2 File2.txt File3.txt If I enable Branch View and sort by type, I expect to see: Folder1 Folder2 File1.txt File2.txt File3.txt File4.txt This used to be the behaviour until recently. Now, this is what I see instead: Folder1 Fold...

Yeah, well, the near-infinite combinations of hardware and software can give rise to some obscure bugs. I run a very locked-down security config and that has caused slow launch times for quite a few applications over the years, so that's my first suspect when something like this happens. Anyway, XYp...

Memory usage is fine, I'm fairly sure the problems had to do with filesystem access. The XYplorer freezes (10-20 seconds long) would happen intermittently when copying/moving items, or creating new subfolders, in a folder that already has a lot of items. This makes me think that XYplorer's tree had ...

Ah, of course. Did you post elsewhere about your performance problems? They seem quite severe and unlike anything I have personally experienced; does network browsing come into it? No, I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that today was the first time I searched for something like "xyplorer slow ...

That does more or less exactly what I wanted, thank you very much @highend.

Er... when I said "switch it off completely," I didn't mean "hide it from view." I meant that it would be nice to be able to turn off the tree functionality entirely. As in, prevent the code that builds up the tree data structure from running at all.

I, too, would like an option to disable the Tree (and mini tree) entirely. For a long while I've been living with very slow startup times for XYplorer (on the order of dozens of seconds). I've also been getting freezes during simple file operations, that bizarrely affect my audio playback with stutt...

No, that's not what I want, thanks. I'm fully capable of whipping up a script to do that in Python or C or node.js or perhaps even XYscript the next time I need that functionality. Just so we're clear, I didn't suggest this feature solely because I need it, but because I imagine it would be a common...

I quote: "It could be made to only be available once thumbnail view has already been invoked." Meaning once the user invokes thumbnail view and the thumbnails have been processed, the user then has the option to select all files for which thumbnail generation failed. I'm aware that byte-sn...

Not at all. It could be made to only be available once thumbnail view has already been invoked. ("View > Thumbnails > Select invalid files"). Since there clearly already is a way to mark a file as having an invalid or no thumbnail, all the program has to do is select those files.

When browsing folders of images recovered from failing hard drives, many of the images are corrupt and unrecoverable. At present, if I want to delete those images, I have to switch to thumbnail view, then manually select the images for which thumbnails failed to be generated, and delete them. It wou...
