Re: XY exits when stepping scripts
Sorry, I missed this. I turn on script stepping via Scripting->Step Mode. Then run some scripts multiple times stepping it each time using the "Continue" button. At some seemingly random point, while stepping a script, clicking the "Continue" button causes XY to exit abruptly. Lo...

Re: Support overlong filenames actually not working?
I have a problem that seems related to this discussion. I have a series of toolbar buttons that run bash scripts which are failing because XY is adding a prefix "\\?\" to paths where it is not expected. Consider this script (it builds a command that will be run with "openwith" on...

Re: XY64: UI corrupted after using floating preview
It just happened again but this time I was not using floating preview but fiddling with user buttons in the toolbar:
As promised here is what happened to ConEmu's UI:
It should look like:

Re: Environment variables not resolved in the run command
Ahh I get it thanks. 
Interesting that the same does not apply to openwith.
For instance this works:

Environment variables not resolved in the run command
Hi all,
Does anyone know why the run command does not resolve environment variables?
For example:
Changing "%PROGRAMFILES%" to "C:\Program Files" works fine.
Curious.
Cheers
John

XY exits when stepping scripts
Hi all,
I have found that sometimes when stepping (via Scripting->Step Mode) through scripts XY will exit abruptly. Nothing appears in the Windows event log and I don't where else to look for more info.
Cheers

Re: XY64: UI corrupted after using floating preview
Minor update. I have noticed that when this happens, the gui of ConEmu (see: https://github.com/ConEmu ) also gets messed up but not to the same extent. The menu bar loses some elements which reappear on mouse over. :? No expert but maybe this points to a GDI corruption of some kind... Anyhow, I wil...

Re: Problem starting XYplorer-both 64-bit and 32-bit
I just had something similar happen to me. XY was idle (ie not in focus). When I clicked in it's window it was brought to the foreground but it's windows was shaded and "Not Responding" appeared in it's titlebar. I left it for a few minutes but there was no change. I killed the process. Su...

Re: Generic File Types
Cool. I saw the screen, but they have different names. The help says, for example "{:Text}" but Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats refers to them as "Text Files". Also, there are some GFT listed in the help ({:Archive}, {:Vector}, {:Executable}) that are not shown in Con...
