Re: Defender False Positive on XYPlorer 21.8.1

I have similar.
Now I need to prove there isn't an issue (if there isn't?)
to get this reapproved on my work laptop..since it was automatically removed/blocked.

It may have triggered when I started a large copy operation from XY.. or just a coincidence.

Network and Not Responding

Hello.. I have an issue where XY gets "Not Responding" when I click on a network tab for a location that does not exist at the moment. When I work away from the network I may have a bunch of network location tabs.. like \\servername\sharename\folder\folder. This causes me to have to end pr...

Re: Find files in the background.

For heavy duty searches I use Agent Ransack (aka FileLocator Pro/Lite) the free version works great for what I do, and its fast. I created a button that starts up Agent Ransack with my current XY path. run """C:\Program Files\Mythicsoft\Agent Ransack\AgentRansack.exe"" -d &q...

Re: Is there a keyboard shortcut to copy the contents of the address bar without making it active first?

I have a user button with this on-left click to copy the path of the current pane into the clipboard.
copytext get("path",a);

I just make a custom run script under User -> Manage Commands
using the same one line script above.
works as well. you can assign a hotkey to your new command.

Favorite Files on Network does not work correctly

I have several Favorite Files defined, however when I click on the Favorite Files of the files that are on a network share (UNC) they do not open to the folder. (when "Open Favorite Files directly" is NOT checked). This does work: If I click on a defined Favorite File that is on a drive le...

Re: Custom Copy ("Backup To...") showing useless "time remaining"

It seems to depend on the size of the files.
Copying 200 files totaling 500MB, seems much quicker than 4000 files totaling 500MB.
so that can really throw off the math when using linear calculations.

This can be an issue with Windows copy times too.

Re: Close XYplorer window when removable drive removed?

I understand that you just want to grab your USB and go, but here is a script I use for ejecting drives. It closes tabs in the active pane that use that drive.. for some reason I don't do both panes, but that could be done easily too. Also, if the script is run from a button with ctrl-click it shows...

Re: Selecting Files - as if SHIFT is held down

I may have solved this. :beer: I had to uncheck File Operations -> File Operations -> Enable Background Processing. I turned off Delete specifically (under Apply to...) and that worked better. But then it still happened when I copied files. so I just disabled Enable Background Processing completely....

Re: Selecting Files - as if SHIFT is held down

Its very strange. I've been using XYplorer for over a year with no issues.. and this showed up a little while ago.
Its an annoyance right now..I still use it all day long.
I've toggled some of those Customize List settings..but no difference yet. I'll keep trying a few different things.
Thanks!

Re: Selecting Files - as if SHIFT is held down

Now something similar but strange in the Fresh XY instance. I also tried it in my original XY instance. I create a handful of folders. Select of some of them. Ctrl-D to duplicate them. I make quite a few folders.. at least 10-20 I'd say. In this situation it seemed like more folders caused the issue...

Selecting Files - as if SHIFT is held down

I have been experiencing a strange thing with file selection. It's a situation where it's as if I am Shift-Selecting files. It acts as if I select a file or folder, and am holding down shift and selecting another file several up or down.. and it selects that and everything in between. Keep in mind I...

XYplorer Rocks

I just wanted my first post to be praise for XYplorer.
I juggle so many files and folders throughout my day that I would be lost without it.
Some of my favorite XY things in no particular order:
* Catalog
* Scripting
* Customizing
* Tabs
