Re: UNC paths handled different than local paths in drop-down lists

On second thought, I find the whole Configuration | General | Controls & More | Dropdown lists | Select all on item change not very practical. Why should you select an item in the dropdown and then replace it completely by typing? -> This setting should not be enabled by default, right? I would...

Re: UNC paths handled different than local paths in drop-down lists

First of all, you can generally stop this auto-selection by unticking this: Configuration | General | Controls & More | Drop-down Lists | Select all on item change Yes, there is an inconsistency, but it's elsewhere. Configuration | General | Controls & More | Auto-Complete Path Names only a...

Re: Shift + Right Click - Deselects all but one item

Ah, got it! This recent change caused it: v24.90.0122 - 2023-09-12 20:39 * Quick Search: Now, if there is a selector, the pattern after the selector will be preselected in the search term retained from the previous search. This way it's much easier to search for another pattern using the same selec...

Re: Shift + Right Click - Deselects all but one item

Cannot reproduce. Describe it with words please. I've been trying to determine the exact conditions in which it occurs, and it may not relate to the selected files. Here's what I've seen, as these two tasks get different results: 1. Enter text into the "find files" name field. Click into ...

Here's a gif: What app did you use in your gif to show keys and buttons being pressed? I tried them "all", but I don't remember testing one which shows the icon of an active window. The tool displaying the presses/etc is a fork of the original Carnac, super useful. There is a setting for ...

Re: XYCopy refuses to exit. Multiple running copies. Can't be killed.

Each instance of XYcopy (the background copy handler) should be visible as an icon in your task bar. If you click on it it will jump to the foreground and you should see the confirmation prompts. But I'd generally recommend to exclude Delete operations from the background operations here: Configura...
