Re: Double clicking a folder in explorer.exe is opening Nord VPN app

Seems to be the same problem as this bug: viewtopic.php?t=23547

But I haven't found any solution for it.

Re: Double clicking a folder in explorer.exe is opening Nord VPN app

Also, I can see a shell extension for NordVPN:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell\NordVPN-file-share

Double clicking a folder in explorer.exe is opening Nord VPN app

Something really weird has started to happen. I enabled the shell integration "Default File Manager" setting many years ago and it's worked fine. But now when I double click a folder from explorer.exe, it opens NordVPN, which gives me a message that the selection is too big for Nord to sen...

Re: Scripting to show favorite folders in the tree view?

Keep in mind that Favorite Files and Favorite Folders are exactly the same (i.e., you can have folders in Favorite Files and files in Favorite Folders). So, if you don't use Favorite Files much, you can have it contain nothing but your important folders - those folders that you wish to have quick a...

Re: "Cycle Tabs Forward/Backward" can fail if folder with a large number of files is loading

Hmmm, 10 secs? :eh: That can only be explained by some heavy work still going. Are you showing any heavy columns in that list? Column layout is: Line Number | Name | Size | Ext | Type | Modified | Created But it definitely gets worse the more columns I add. I have a pretty heavy custom scripted col...

Scripting to show favorite folders in the tree view?

I have a somewhat awkward situation where I need to use a temporary downloads folder on an external volume as my browser's default downloads directory. This is because I am working on the browser's downloads interface and testing downloads hundreds of times, of all shapes and sizes. But unfortunatel...

"Cycle Tabs Forward/Backward" can fail if folder with a large number of files is loading

I am using the "Cycle Tabs *ward" keyboard shortcuts and they can fail while loading certain folders. It seems to be that something involved in loading folder contents is a blocking action for certain keyboard shortcut methods. I can't definitely say what the conditions are, but this happe...

Reveal in XYplorer system call doesn't jump to/scroll to/select the revealed item, it just opens the containing folder

If you set XYplorer to be your default file manager (via the shell integration menu), it kind of breaks the "reveal in file explorer" system command. If you right-click a start menu shortcut > More > Open file location, it opens the containing folder in a new tab, but it doesn't scroll to ...

Certain custom file icons randomly turning into black or grey squares in list

I have 125 portable file icon rules. Sometimes when I'm using xyplorer, I'll scroll down and a certain filetype's icon will just be a black or grey square. It usually happens all at once. Like I'll go days without seeing any black squares, but then one day I'll scroll down and there will be black sq...

Re: Extractor - Extract, cleanup and delete archives

Anyone know the "right" way to get rid of the GUI? Because of the little delete GUI that confirms which archives you want to delete, this isn't really any faster for me than just extracting via 7-zip's context menu entry, clicking the archive, tapping the delete key. So I went through the ...

Re: vk_browser_back / forward support

Since I posted all that, I actually ended up implementing a script that is sensitive to where the focus is. Turns out xyplorer actually integrates really easily with AHK as far as programs go. It has a ton of 'controls' that AHK is aware of so you can get really specific. Whereas with something like...

What is "drag & drop context menu"?

I saw this in the settings and I've seen it referred to in other places but I don't know what it's referring to. How do you get this context menu to come up? Thanks

edit: is this the menu that comes up when you right click a file and drag it somewhere else?

Re: vk_browser_back / forward support

You can do a lot of cool stuff with #IfWin in general. For xyplorer I use this: #IfWinActive #IfWinNotExist, ahk_exe XYplorer.exe #e:: Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" return #IfWinExist #IfWinActive, ahk_exe XYplorer.exe #e:: send ^t return #IfWinExist, ahk_exe XYplorer....

Sort by type, then sort by size instead of name

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the way it works when you sort the list by "Type" is it first sorts all the files/folders by type and arranges the types in alphabetical order. And within a given type it arranges the files by the name of the file. Which is very useful and the w...
