Re: Any way to stop this "Automation error"?

Do you have "Use status bar template" enabled in Config-Templates? If so, what did you write in that text box? I resolved this issue by changing the following configuration item: tools -> Configuration -> Preview -> Preview -> Video Preview -> Check "Preview as thumbnail".

Nothing is entered in the text box "Status Bar" and the "Use status bar template" is unchecked.

Unable to register trial version

Hello,

I'm trying to register XYplorer 24.70 under Windows 11 on a new PC. I have a lifetime key and when I enter it XY indicates it is successfully registered. But when I restart XYplorer it is still not registered.

What can I do to register XYplorer?

For example my PC's home directory is C:\Users\bernie and my laptop is C:\Users\zbern. Maybe with a symlink? Or maybe XYplorer would utilize an environment variable? -...
