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.

I'm not sure what's different about that file and just my luck the one file that has some odd exception :oops: Wasn't awar...

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
