Re: Display current checked out git branch name

Just stumbled across this since it would be super handy to be able to see the current Git branch in the tree (alongside the directory name). Hoping this shows up at some point.

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

Just coming back to this after living for months with incorrect scaling on my second monitor. Not sure if something in the Win 10 Creators Update helped with this, but I now find that if I right click on the XYPlorer app (desktop icon) and choose "Properties > Compatibility", check "O...

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

It's a fairly involved process that involves registry changes and trying to edit the manifest within the exe itself. As an alternative, would you possibly be able to build a one-off version of XYPlorer that includes the referenced manifest tweaks? I'd be happy to try it and see if it makes any diffe...

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

Afraid not. Setting the "disable high DPI" compatibility option also doesn't seem to have any effect.

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

By the way, if I can help somehow, let me know. If there is any debugging, logging, etc. I can do, just ask. And if you'd like me to test a build or something, let me know. Thanks.

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

Unfortunately, no. XY seems to always use the scaling set on the primary monitor, regardless of which monitor it is opened on.

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

Thanks. Any general idea of what the ETA for 17.20 is? A month? 3 months? 6? Just to get a basic idea when it can be expected.

Re: Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

Like I said, ideally it would detect a change in resolution (like moving to another monitor) and rescale. But if a manual trigger to rescale is easier in the short term, I'd take that for now. It seems like XYPlorer must understand how to scale itself, since it looks fine on the 4K monitor. It seems...

Multi-Monitor Windows 10 scaling revisited

I'm an avid and (until yesterday) happy XYPlorer user for several years, with 3 monitors hooked up to a Windows 10 system. Yesterday, I replaced my primary monitor with a 4k display. Unfortunately, XYPlorer doesn't seem to be playing well with the per-monitor DPI scaling that Windows 10 provides. I ...

Re: Windows Scaling kills list icons?

No, that wasn't it. The config that I copied over also had the icons turned on. The only difference was that new system had Windows scaling turned on, which is why I thought it was related to scaling (like maybe the icon became 'too big'). But as I said, reverting to default config and then manually...

Re: Windows Scaling kills list icons?

You're right! It looks like the issue actually had to do with loading an different XYPlorer configuration, rather than the scaling. Switching back to the default configuration restored the icons. Anyone know if there's a config setting somewhere that would cause the icons to not show? I checked the ...

Re: Windows Scaling kills list icons?

I should mention that this happens on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (not sure about other OS versions).

Windows Scaling kills list icons?

I'm having an issue where, if the Windows scaling is set higher than 100%, the icons in the file list no longer show up in detail view. Icons in the file tree are still there, but over in the file list, the icons aren't shown. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround that I might be unaware of? ...

Re: Color filter based on child folder match?

Thanks for the reply! Sounds like a decent idea for an ER. :-) Yeah, I have the icon overlays turned off because they seemed to cause more performance problems than they were worth (at least with vanilla Explorer). Maybe I try turn them back on again and see if XYplorer handles it better. The taggin...
