Re: Go | Go to from Here...

As someone who uses keyboard navigation, I find it very handy. It's my alternative to the address bar. It's nice because it auto-fills the current location, you can start typing, and then use the arrow keys to select the target. Append a \ after your selection and then continue typing in the new dir...

Re: Nested favorite folders

Alternatively, you could use the popupnested() function to do something similar through scripting, but with a lot more flexibility; A custom menu with your favorite folders and other functions, very handy when assigned to something like a CTB or hotkey. Here's a template if you're interested. /* A c...

Re: Catalog - add current search as script. How to quicksearch(?) to search in contents

Actually no I never noticed, I've never used the address bar and so its always been removed. Images not named 'cover'|goto "?>^cover\. /i /excl=Graphics\ /types={:image} //Images not named 'cover'"|<xyicons>\filetypes\image.ico That worked perfect, seems to replicate the GUI function exact...

Re: Catalog - add current search as script. How to quicksearch(?) to search in contents

I too would like to have a flag for the quicksearch() function that triggers the provided expression as if it were entered into the GUI. The problem with passing the return of quicksearch() as an argument to paperfolder() is that inconsistencies between a GUI quick search and paper folder. Depending...

Left & Right arrow keys not working in pane views

Not sure what happened, but after updating to v24.20.0004, the left and right arrow keys aren't working in either of the dual-panes.

They still work fine when navigating pop-up menus and within text boxes, the only issue is in the panes.

I couldn't reproduce the issue with a fresh install.

Re: Tip of the day

That is fun, though I'll be honest I always disable those :D

If it were a function that I could call when I'm feeling adventurous then I'd probably make more use of it :tup:

Re: UI Option for Beta Updates

That CTB command still works, I just used it today. Do you have the :: preceding the function?

On left-click
::update 1 + 128;

Re: How to have the menu bar in black in dark mode ?

I tried using the right-click option with the 'Show Menu Bar' button during the first week we got the buttons, but I kept forgetting to do it and was never able to get myself into the habit. The little arrow is the visual I need to remind me that there's more options to pick from. I've been trying t...

Re: How to have the menu bar in black in dark mode ?

The XY menu bar isn't compatible with dark mode. However, you can disable the menu bar and instead use the corresponding toolbar buttons, which have the same functionality. I myself only find a few of the menu items regularly useful, so the rest of them I have in a drop-down list. https://i.ibb.co/L...

Re: Would like to preview DBF files

Previews aren't generated by XY, they're done by preview handlers installed on your system. You'll have to find and install one for .DBF.

Re: Details View: To show -- (a dash or two dashes) for empty fields

Correct, but in this case even on updating to the latest beta they weren't generated in my .ini.

I thought it might have been an exception since they weren't mentioned at all in the beta log, but it must have just been on my end :P

Re: Details View: To show -- (a dash or two dashes) for empty fields

Next beta has 4 tweaks (too lazy to document it further): ListEmptyCellExtDir=<DIR> ListEmptyCellExtFile=-- ListEmptyCellSize=-- ListEmptyCellOther=Ø No, it does not break sorting, it's only visual. Works great, to anyone reading this, paste those lines into the [Settings] section of your xyplorer....
