XYplorer Beta Club

OK, thanks for the prompt resolution.

On (2) above, I've checked that the properties of the catalog item show the path through the junction, but it opens the direct path instead of the junction when I select it in the catalog.

No, sorry, guess I posted in the wrong thread. My issues are (1) the tags I assign to file D:\<junction to target MyFolder>\MyFile aren't shown by XY when I select file D:\<direct path to MyFolder>\MyFile. (2) after I drag the tagged file D:\<junction to target MyFolder>\MyFile to the Catalog, right...

This appears to be the same issue. The label or tag I apply to a file doesn't persist if I access the containing folder via another path through a junction, and vice-versa. If tags etc. are path-dependent I can understand, but when I drag the folder to the catalog from a path X that includes the jun...

Got no such problem with 17.40. Downloaded the .zip installer package & installed smoothly as normal.

Windows Defender (Win10) reports virus in XYplorer_17.30_Install.exe. Would not let me copy from the installer zip package, and would not let me download the no-install zip package. Details: The following error occurred: Error code 0x80508023. The program could not find the malware and other potenti...

Well, Microsoft/Skype finally did me in and won't let me log into my old Skype version — had to update. There are workarounds to send files without D&D from XY, but would be more convenient if that worked. Sigh.

Anyway, keep up the good work. Love my XY.

Can you refer me to one, please? I have no intention of using anything other than XY but I'd like to test your claim in my own setup.

What happens when you try? Error? No, no error, just no ack or reaction as if nothing had been dragged. Conversely, with Skype v.6.1.999.130 after opening a conversation window (double-click on someone in the contacts list) I drag a file from XY to the "Send a message" text box in the con...

Help, I've been informed by email that "Your desktop version of Skype is being retired. Update today." Gee, thank you Microsoft. I *really* need to be able to drag & drop into Skype from XY but it doesn't work in the newer Skype. I teach online via Skype and need to be able to drag PDF...

??? Don't understand how that's relevant to dragging OUT of XY and dropping onto Skype. Where do I put the code to test it?

As I noted above, the problem was not caused by any change in XY and can't be fixed by downgrading to older versions, but was caused by something different in the latest versions of Skype 6. Skype 6 does appear to work OK with XY using the "SSE" version of Skype, https://support.skype.com/...

Appears to be the Skype version. I dragged & dropped from XY all the time until it quit working when I updated Skype to 6.3.0.105 just a week or so ago. Continues to work w/all other apps I've had occasion to drag&drop to. I tried reverting to various XY versions between 11.90 and 12.30 but ...

How about a video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGzU22CFm4A

However, upon rebooting Vista I couldn't reproduce it. Wouldn't you know it.

I'm getting the same thing (and can only close XYplorer by killing the process) whenever I select "Show icon overlays" and then close the config dialog. v12.20, unregistered version. Please advise. As a side issue, maybe XYplorer should update the .ini whenever we update the configuration,...
