XYplorer Beta Club

Hi Admin, Great to see the new 64-bit version, thanks for getting it out as it solved the weird problem that I had with the 32-bit version. It was a long mysterious wait for 64-bit but was worth it, and as you know the alternative products just don't stack-up to XYplorer, although one was close to i...

Hi All,
So, to show a PDF file's title, author and subject, I suppose requires similar scripting work, like XY does not show that metadata out-of-the-box?
Thanks, Kevin

Hi Admin, Well, it looks like the culprit is in fact my PDF editor, XY closes out only when that is open, whether I am using either of them actively or not. Seems strange that a PDF software would cause a problem with a file manager. Soooo, my question now is when does the 64-bit version of XY becom...

Hi Admin, Yes an odd one for sure. I'm checking to see if it is something related to PDF-XChange Editor, so that is closed with XY open, I don't need the PDF viewing for awhile. Let me see how it goes and will get back to you. There was a strange situation with that app, I'll explain in detail if it...

Hi Admin, Well, the good times ended and XY closes out again. I'm using it a lot doing re-name operations and drag-drop to a web app, but it does not close while I'm doing those operations. It closes suddenly and discreetly while sitting idle, I notice only because the app behind it suddenly pops in...

Hi Admin, Hey it still has not shut down and I'm using XY a lot right now, lots of context menu action too. So I'm thinking that you solved it for me and one day I'll chase down the culprit app, but not urgent now, have too much work to complete soon. Thanks very much and you can close out this issu...

Hi Admin, I did as you suggested and let me use it for awhile to see how it goes, did some typical operations with the context menu and no XY crash but will evaluate it a bit longer. Yes I'm sure that I was doing something with the context menus before a crash, I'm using those controls in normal ope...

Hello Admin, Yes, the same Lifetime License Enterprise that I have always used, and it's on one installation only. I verified it when I had the MS Office preview issue that you helped me with a month or so ago. A couple of weeks ago I uninstalled and re-installed XY but that didn't solve it, but I'm...

Hi XYplorer Users, Something happened a few months ago and XY started to close out suddenly and more often, for no reason that I can figure out. No error message it just freezes for a moment and then disappears. A while back it suddenly failed to preview MS Office files, so Admin suggested that I de...

Thanks Admin, Oh silly me, I already purchased Lifetime License Professional back in July of 2017, I just found the code and PayPal confirmation. My first purchase of Standard was in February 2016 so I didn't wait long to upgrade. Wow, I didn't realize that I was so future-proofed and pro-active bac...

Hi Admin, Thanks for the info and all understood, it must be Windows Office (365 or whatever it's called now!) preview handler that is acting up recently. Anyway, not a problem, I de-selected preview of .xlsx as Highend suggested and there's no affect on my work. I'll just wait for the 64-bit versio...

Guten Morgen Admin, Thanks for jumping in and now I am puzzled because I thought that I was using the 64-bit version, but maybe I'm not. When I look at Task Manager >> Details I see XYplorer.exe with Architecture x86, so that's the 32-bit version running, right? My Windows 11 is 64-bit and when new ...

Hello Highend, Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, I've tried a variety of .xlsx files and all show the same situation. I think for now being so busy I'll leave it as is, anyway previewing a spreadsheet is not so beneficial with lots of small text in cells, I ended up opening them fully to read anythi...

Morning Highend, It seems this morning that your suggestion works, XY ignores the preview of .xlsx files and functions normally. I could have made an error last night when de-selecting .xlsx from preview, this morning I looked again at Config and it was checked, so I might have un-checked a differen...

Hello Highend, Thanks for your quick reply, I did as you suggested but the same situation persists, unfortunately. I should have seen that in configuration and tried before, but anyway it must be something deeper. I closed-out XY in task manager and tested it again, XY works perfectly as usual until...
