listing / description of files and folders in \Data

I am using XYplorer on a workstation and laptop. I'd like to share most but not all settings across the two installations of XYplorer. I have installed both XYplorer as portable, each has their settings stored in a folder in their installation directory /Data. Copying all the files in one /Data fold...

adjust icon size on Ultra HD 4K screen

I am unable to get the toolbar icons to scale appropriately on a Dell xps 15, with Ultra HD 4K screen (15.6-inch 3,840x2,160 touch display). See the attached screenshoots of the windows screen settings, xyplorer screen and configuration settings. The text elements scale but the toolbar icons do not....

Re: sync setting across machines

@highend, thank you.

I had hoped this might be a fairly common use case and therefore supported a little more simply.

Do you know what most users do now to sync settings across installations?

Re: Drives bar

+1 for the additional toolbars - particularly useful for laying favourite folders in a one click view, now drives and favourites take two (not a big deal but could say that about a lot of the at the margin features) - if you are going to add option to add a second toolbar then I'd not stop at just o...

Re: TortoiseGit Menu and IconOverlays Not Showing

Excellent point; thank you. edited Wow6432Node as you suggested to ensure TortoiseGit icon overlays sort to top of list. All now works as expected. Note no changes to registry except a renaming of the icon overlays so that the sort order changes. For anyone else following, see attached before and af...

Re: TortoiseGit Menu and IconOverlays Not Showing

Thanks for the ongoing help; it is close. I now have the context menu but no icon overlays; although they briefly appeared after rolling back a dropbox update that renamed their icon overlays in the registry. Some of these issues are traceable I think to a very recent update of dropbox 16.4.x -> 17....

I am a new user. I use TortoiseGit extensively day to day from Windows Explorer without issues; get a context menu; get icon overlays showing file status. I don't get any of that in my XYplorer. I am running Windows 64 and latest versions of XYplorer and TortoiseGit, reinstalled them all today tryin...
