XYplorer Beta Club

Many swords have been broken about the context menu of the XYPlorer :) If you are using the 7zip archiver, make sure you are using the latest version. In 2022, I found a critical (for this case) bug in the 7zip program that significantly slows down the context menu on all versions of Windows OS. Her...

Had some time, wrote a note :) CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION As for the memory leak , the reason is this cycle: Loop { SHParseDisplayName(pidl) ; <-- MAIN REASON: each call creates a new instance of ITEMIDLIST, and only the last remaining instance in the 'pidl' variable is freed SHBindToParent(pIShellFolde...

There is a proper way to do this.
Another reason to start XY64ctxmenu at once together with XYplorer

It's been a long time since I looked at the source code and I must admit that XY64ctxmenu code is much cleaner now.

But with window messages I'm not quite clear, what is the algorithm of communication between processes?
Why do you need to "ping" a window?

I don't see that here. Which Windows version is that? I have Windows 10 but this behavior should not depend on the OS version. To see the first problem , simply run any window message monitor and select the XY64ctxmenu window with the "AutoHotkey" class. The screenshot from the previous p...

Hi It's been almost half a year since we talked and I would love to upgrade to a new version of the XY, but I can't because Something goes wrong with realization because: XYCtx window spamed with WM_TIMER messages all the time XYCtx have a memory leak I can understand the reason why you did not make...

if you click on them

Good to know, thx!
If you do not need absolute precision, it is also a convenient way.

In fact, I suggested this improvement only because it is easy to implement, It is clear that this is not critical at all

to have native commands

But if the script can permanently add these commands to the regular menu, then I agree.
Not sure what did you mean about "properties info panel".

In addition to "Set modified date to current",

it would be cool to have native commands like "copy modified date" and "paste modified date"

I vaguely remember that it was removed because people did not like it. It's a bit counterintuitive, because if you checked the "Select last used subfolder" checkbox in the settings, you would expect this behavior for any navigation method and it is unlikely that people could complain abou...

I upgraded from version 18.70 (to 23.00) and am comparing with it

One more thing. In older versions, when you return to the parent folder by clicking on its name in the address bar (breadcrumbs), this directory remained highlighted and was in the visible part of the list. In the new version, this behavior can only be achieved by clicking the "🠕 Up" butto...

Done. Using hostings is just a habit

Because 16 is a very low value and most systems can have much larger values without getting problems. If you need it for some reason, you can change this value on your system, but in the context of the problem it does not solve anything. will only work on those 16 items I understand that it is prob...

admin wrote: ↑15 May 2022 10:24Sounds fascinating, but then the shell extensions in the ctx menu (e.g. WinRAR's "Add to archive...") will only work on those 16 items.

Try to read it one more time

There is a registry key to increase that number.

Yes, but why?
