Re: Folder with folder thumbnail

I have no idea how to find the file path for the original folder icon(s). Apparently, they're embedded in a system file called shell32.dll.mun now?

Re: Folder with folder thumbnail

Yes, it's a complete eyesore, and I have no idea why it was requested in the first place. (Ever think about just not having empty folders in your system?)

Why is there a correlation between the XYplorer and Windows thumbnail caches?

I have Windows 10 configured to never show or cache thumbnails, but when I generate thumbnails in XYplorer, the Windows thumbnail cache grows along with it.

Why is that? I thought XYplorer uses its own thumbnail database.

Thanks.

I also learned that this can be done with voidtools's Everything search.

Let's say I have a text file with the following list: alfa bravo charlie And I have a file directory with the following folders: alfa bravo charlie delta echo Is there a way I could run the text file through XYplorer and have it only highlight the folder names that match those in the text file (alfa...

Thumbnails not generating normally in 20.10

Thumbnails don't seem to generate automatically in a folder with a a lot of images in 20.10 unless you leave the tab and go back to it.

Re: Thumbnails regenerating despite being cached

Yes, I am using the latest version.

The strange thing is that the thumbnails will stay put immediately after they are generated, but when I go to the folder later, XYplorer will attempt to regenerate all of the thumbnails again. I don't know what could be triggering that.

How do I retrieve my license key?

Can the license key be viewed somewhere, or do I have to e-mail support?

Re: Thumbnails regenerating despite being cached

Yes, the settings are correct.

I don't know what the exact trigger is, but XYplorer will inevitably generate thumbnails for every folder/file again.

Thumbnails regenerating despite being cached

I am experiencing this with a particularly large folder that contains over 4,000 subfolders. I have tried deleting the cache file, but that doesn't seem to help.

Files copied from OneDrive do not maintain dates

"Preserve item dates" doesn't work with files that are copied from the OneDrive folder. The date is preserved if the files are cut, however.

Is there any way to maintain the original dates under a copy operation, or is this a quirk with Windows 10/OneDrive?

Renaming a file can result in an incorrect timestamp

There seems to be a bug where a renamed file will adopt the creation date of a deleted file that had the same name. For instance, let's say C:\ has two files named "Foxes" and "Foxes Two." When "Foxes" is deleted and "Foxes Two" is renamed to "Foxes,"...
