XYplorer Beta Club

Thank you for the clarification.
Since files and folders are so different they really need separate scripts. But if this doubles the work to be done, then the present solution is an acceptable compromise.

XYcopy already supports a distinction between files and folders; Merge only applies to folders.
For what reason does Overwrite apply only to files, but not to folders?

In which case would it be possible to change XYcopy so that on a collision of folder names the user is offered the options to Overwrite, Merge, or Skip?

For custom copy operations is the Windws API being used, or is a call made internally to Windows Copy or Xcopy?

Attached are screen shots of my configuation settings for file copy and move.

When I copy a file, and a name collision occurs, I am given the option to overwrite if newer, or skip. When I copy a folder, and a name collision occurs, I am given the option to merge, or skip. When I copy a folder, and a name collision occurs, I always want to overwrite, not to merge. Can this be ...

There exists software from a number of vendors that allows you to capture and store the metadata of what you have on HDD's, CD's, DVD's, etc. in a database. They allow you then to see at a glance in one place what you have on all your sources. I would like to suggest that Xyplorer add support for su...

Rename Special has a useful function "RenameTitleCaseExceptions" that allows you to capitalize more correctly the names of files and folders that are titles of publications. Unfortunately this messes up words that should remain completely in uppercase. For example: WHO becomes Who, WTO bec...

I set the configuration settings as you suggested. Now if I click on a folder or file in File Manager, and in the dropdown list of actions chose "Send to", and "XYplorer", I am sent to XYplorer with the cursor on the folder or file I had chosen in File Manager - exactly what had ...

I find that a number of applications send me to Windows Explorer when - of course - I'd rather be in XYplorer. What I would like is to right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer, and have "Open in XYplorer" in the list of actions available. Is there an application that can add this f...

Using v22.60.0000 I tried "Help/Online Support/Check for Updates" and received message "You are Offline". But actually I was online, and furthermore all other links for Online Support (such as "What's New?") worked correctly. I then manually downloaded and installed v.2...

Is there a way to select just part of a filename and have the selected text copied automatically to the clipboard?

It would be useful if Rename Special supported a function to "capitalize by rule". This would allow you to capitalize more correctly the names of files that are titles of publications. The website capitalizemytitle.com conveniently describes the standard rules, and offers an API, but as a ...

oh dear - hiding in plain sight! many thanks jupe

I don't know what I did to cause it but I suddenly find that every menu item now shows its function ID, so for example instead of seeing "File/Open" as I did before, I now see "File/Open - #156". I do not wish to see the function IDs as they clutters up the screen. But how to rem...
