Re: Use external CopyHandler (ExtremeCopy) as default for copy/move operations?

Maybe ... FastCopy is configured to take over the jobs from Shell copy.
That would explain it, and the way it operates; thanks.

Re: Use external CopyHandler (ExtremeCopy) as default for copy/move operations?

Very sorry that it's taken me more than a month to see your question. I normally check this board weekly at least. Also sorry to report that in the External Copy Handlers Config I have nothing specified! So I don't know how XY is finding FastCopy! It's been so long since I set that up and can't reca...

Custom Move anomaly prob due to Read-Only set

XY 25.40.0102 on Windows 10 Pro x64 I usually use FastCopy for big file moves but used XY Custom Copy (Move) this time, between two internal SSDs which otherwise give no problems. I was surprised when Custom Move reported a failure on "overflow" as follows: Custom Move from 1/3/2024 4:22:4...

Re: Can't delete thumbs.db file because "in use by XYCopy"

For anyone's info: I used "LockHunter" freeware from Crystal Rich Software which deleted these folders & files immediately. I've used LockHunter for years and recommend it.

Re: Can't delete thumbs.db file because "in use by XYCopy"

Task Mgr showed no XYCopy running. Rebooted and now the symptom is a report that XYplorer has the file open. BUT Windows Explorer has the same problem, saying that it itself has the file open. So I guess it is an "old lock" whatever that is. LockHunter shows that no processes are locking t...

Can't delete thumbs.db file because "in use by XYCopy"

Windows 10 Pro x64 / XY v24.90.0140. Problem is repeatable; it occurs in regular use and in ::fresh instance. Trying to delete some very old graphics application folders with "thumbs.db" files in them, from a network drive. I right-click and choose "Delete". There are two confirm...

Re: Can't get Glider to work

Yes, the Glider does appear if an object is highlighted. Maybe I'm thinking of how an earlier version worked, or moused too fast in a trial of it.

Re: Can't get Glider to work

I was puzzled too until I remembered / realized that something must be selected (not just highlighted) in a List pane before the Glider will appear in the Tree. Then it works exactly as shown by kiwichick above.

Re: Thumbs won't update (Embedded thumbs issue)

I see... lots of caching going on. To add one point: not updating / rewriting the embedded thumb may be per a philosophy of keeping all original info, especially for camera shots. To update this one part of the EXIF info would actually be an exception since AFAIK nothing else would or should be chan...

Re: Thumbs won't update (but do in ::Fresh)

New info: Apparently ... Both "High Speed" and "Fast" Quality will show thumbs that are derived from an embedded thumb, when thumbs are refreshed (Ctl-Alt-F5), with disk cache enabled in the default location. HS does this occasionally whereas Fast always does it. When the embedde...

Re: Thumbs won't update (but do in ::Fresh)

No, I'm not sure Fast is the only setting that uses embedded thumbs. That conclusion was simply consistent with jupe's input and the symptoms I've got. My photo app doesn't update embedded thumbs after altering the picture; Fast is showing old thumbs on those pictures; and the other Quality levels d...

Re: Thumbs won't update (but do in ::Fresh)

Well, that explains it, thanks. I use Faststone Image Viewer for most image manipulations because it's free, fast and very powerful. It doesn't even have an option for rewriting the exif thumb after editing. OTOH both Gimp and Photoshop do have this. While I understand the utility of Fast mode, it i...

Re: Thumbs won't update (but do in ::Fresh)

The pix in question are from a Pixel4 digital camera and I think there is an embedded thumbnail. I've attached one of the problem camera pix, with exif geo location info altered for privacy. Oddly, ExifTool doesn't find one. The command exiftool -b -ThumbnailImage 1rot.jpg > MyThumb.jpg produces an ...

Re: Thumbs won't update (but do in ::Fresh)

Yes, it's repeatable for me. Changing nothing else, if I select Quality "Fast" my thumbnails revert to the unrotated and uncropped versions of hours ago. If I select any other Quality, and do a Ctl-Alt-F5 refresh, they become correct. Come to think of it, only the pictures I had earlier ro...
