Re: String Search
Major apologies in order...I was referring to the search within the UI Info Panel and was using it incorrectly. :oops: This was my first attempt at searching with criteria found within a file. After selecting the Find Files tab, I remained on the default Name & Location tab where I assumed all p...

String Search
Using the filter box, is it possible to search for a string of words within a file?
I have tried searching for a two-word string with/without and using single/double quotes without success.
I specify the folder, select Contents as the only filter and leave all other options at their default values.

Drag-Drop as Admin Puzzle
On my Dell Inspiron laptop, when launching XY as Admin, I have not been able to Drag-Drop from a browser to XY. My understanding is this prevented by Windows security. As a result on my XPS when I recently launched XY as Admin, I was surprised to find DD from the browser works. To determine if this ...

Re: Drag and Drop stopped working...
@highend
I launch XW as admin but in Task Manager don't see "Elevated" associated with it under Processes or Details. Is that because my login has Admin privileges?

Re: +++ BREAKING NEWS: XYplorer goes twinBASIC +++
Don, any concern for twinBasic being proprietary, i.e. not open source?
It seems it's currently free but the developer has plans to charge for it.

Re: No Word or Excel files with MDBU
No, just a quick flash of the hourglass. I do get the hover info box.
In the Preview, all files render fine
MDBU does not work for xls or docx and for PDF only shows a mini image.(To get the below screen shot I had to use my camera)

No Word or Excel files with MDBU
Win 11, XY 26.70.0600
XY Preview works for all files that I have tried including Word and Excel
Mouse Down Blow Up works for text, bitmaps, PDF, rtf, doc but when I try with Word-docx or Excel-xls, the cursor just flashes the hour glass and nothing is displayed.
Are these file format not supported?

Re: XY Access to Android via Network
Right, I had tried that but no luck.
Here's another view. Apparently Windows represents the portable drive as a an internal folder.
But XY doesn't show the device in the folder
