Improve performance in scrolling through directory

I have a particular directory that contains over 300 files. XYplorer is unable to scroll smoothly from top to bottom of the folder while in detail view. It will scroll part way, then stop for a while, scroll some more, then stop for a while, scroll some more, then stop for a while, etc. This perform...

Re: Restore Last Session

There's no checkbox to disable "permanent startup path". So, how is the problem solved?

Restore Last Session

I would like to be able to restore the last session when restarting XYplorer. Apparently, this obvious behavior is currently not possible since the active tab is replaced by the "permanent startup path", thus causing the last session not to be restored.

Overlay icons missing in Dropbox

I just bought a new laptop PC and installed the most recent version of XYplorer and of Dropbox. XYplorer does not display any of the icon overlays from Dropbox, which indicate the sync status. This was not a problem on my previous computer. MS File Explorer does display the overlays. I DO have the s...

Re: Do you like the new application icon?

The main reason I don't like the new icon is that the letters XY occupy too small of the region of the icon. It would be much better if the XY were larger.

Re: appicon;

I tried to use the appicon; command, but it doesn't seem to change the icon that gets pinned to either the start menu or taskbar in Windows 11. I don't like the new icon. My main objection is that the letters XY occupy too small of a percentage of the overall icon and are harder to read than they sh...

All folder and file icons have gone blank

Today when I started using XYplorer, almost all folder and file icons had gone blank. They are all white. As far as I know, I didn't change anything. Exceptions are special folder like Dropbox, Downloads, and OneDrive that do display their normal icon.

OS: Windows 11
XYplorer version: 23.50.0200

Re: XYplorer freezes when copying MS Word files

I have MS Office 365.

I have been able to confirm that disabling the Preview Windows eliminates the problem. XYplorer doesn't become unresponsive and stuck in an infinite loop if I disable the previewer and then copy an MS Word file. To me it looks like the bug is related to the previewer.

Not all drive show in mini tree view

In mini tree view some, but not all drives, show. This is definitely a deficiency. All drives should show.
