I will, when I stumble upon this again...

Funny thing: this problem disappeared while I was comparing the DLL list loaded by my XY to my friend's XY (he did not have this problem). Now don't tell me I did not restart XY. I did, many times when I was writing pre-previous post. The only thing I noticed is when the problem was there, my XY had...

It does it for any file, no matter.

I'll try it at home.

H-m-m... Interesting. I wonder: is it something with my system? Anyways, here is what I do and what happens: - I run XY. Current tab is My Documents, a text file is focused and selected. - I press Ctrl-Q. Info Panel shows, Preview tab is active, the content of the tab says "File is empty."...

Hi Don, Just found that preview is not updated (remains on the same file) when moving the file list selection with keyboard arrow keys. Selection with mouse works fine. XY 6.80.0044 Another thing: shouldn't the preview stop playing audio and video when I select another Info Panel tab or close the In...

Wow! Congratulations!

You know, this happens to me all the time: stumble upon something; bang my head against the wall trying to fix it; give up ; declare it unfixable ; come back two days later with an idea and make it work!

Very happy for you!

When dropping files from Windows Explorer the mouse cursor is "create shortcut" rather than "copy here" (you know, curvy arrow vs. '+'). Files are copied though.

Holding Ctrl does not change the cursor shape.

This is a minor issue, but looks a bit confusing.

XY: 6.60.0042

The reason to enable it would be simple: I have several files with the same name but different extension which make up a "module". I want to have a copy of this module under different name. I would use "Copy Here As..." and provide a new name like "<new name>.*". The de...

how does what you describe differ from a MDI? MDI child windows live within the boundaries of their parent MDI frame window. Technically they are the same as docked panes, but provide extra (unneccessary for XY) possibility of being overlapped by each other. I vote for optional second non-overlappi...

Before I try to understand the C++ code (which would take a long time...) Come on! What could be simpler than C++ code? It can be read like a book! :lol: Just kidding... I commented every method of the MainForm (that's where everything is done), so if you are curious you can read just the comments....

Don, I couldn't resist the temptation and made a little mock-up application that demonstrates what I wrote before. See if you like how it works. I enjoyed making it. http://www.uploading.com/files/QVUGR1TD/XYMultiWinMockup.zip.html Everybody else are welcome to tell Don what they like/dislike about ...

No MDI, God forbid! I am talking multiple WS_POPUP windows. Use File->New Window (Ctrl-N) in Firefox. The new window will open (too bad it's not arranged in any way with the original and its location does not persist - a must have, IMHO). Notice that there is still only one Firefox process but two (...

Don, Coming back to the original subject, I believe that both dual-pane and multi-window approach have their use at different times. But have you considered single-instance multi-window idea? I mean, user could have a choice of having another file list (without tree and catalog by default) in anothe...

I meant, closer than C++, which I use, anyway. Here are some explanations that might help: The '^' character means a pointer if it's before type name and "value pointed to" if it's after the variable name (I think...), TStrings is just a class with list of strings, OleCheck() is a simple w...

If you have some time to invest into this issue, here is a piece of code that I found on the Net that shows multi-file properties dialog. It's in Delphi, which is pretty close to VB (you write XY in VB, right?)
