Re: Context Menu: Unpack Folder

One common use is when extracting an archive to a directory using the archive name, then you have another folder inside that one. Instead of moving things around and wasting keystrokes and clicks, that folder can just be unpacked. Sometimes I will get images that are sorted or extracted into separat...

Context Menu: Unpack Folder

The ability to empty a folder exists in XY but oddly a very useful feature, unpack folder does not exist. Basically what unpacking a folder does is move the contents of the selected folder to its parent directory while removing the folder. 8) I suggested this feature for a program called FileMenu To...

Which part, zip extraction?

Re: ZIP Support (so I can finally retire "PowerDersk Pro")

Could it be that for some reason your system does not support zip folders. What OS is it? Yes, I disabled zip and cab folders in Windows 7 long ago. Useless feature and a waste of resources. I have re-enabled it for now to test and it's now working. Now I will go back and get rid of it again! :) I ...

Re: The relative path in the Toolbar

Actually, you can just enter 0005.ico if the icon resides in XY's data directory.

So: 0005.ico

instead of:

<xypath>\icons\0005.ico

Re: ZIP Support (so I can finally retire "PowerDersk Pro")

BTW, this new zip feature does not work for me, it just creates empty directories on archive and extract. Hopefully, if implemented, there will be an option to remove this from XY's context menu as I can easily create my own archive tools using the catalog or through XY's powerful scripting. :shock...

Re: ZIP Support (so I can finally retire "PowerDersk Pro")

I agree with the "can of worms" analogy. XYplorer dev has put much effort into portable file icons, portable file extensions, maybe it's time for a portable shell menu. Then users can easily build their own menus using those portable programs, such as 7zip for example, and keep XY simple a...

Please Show Hidden Thumbs As Other Hidden Files

Images, when hidden and showing in the thumbnail view do not appear greyed out as other hidden items do. I would like to request this. Also discussed here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=1301

Well, I can't seem to reproduce this now. It must have been a fluke. Locked files or something....who knows!

The icon just disappears from the system tray. I can produce a flash video of this happening if anyone wants.

I can duplicate this also. It does update after switching tabs. I think this may have a lot to do with using an INI file to store settings, as it can not be accessed as dynamically as the registry. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no programmer (yet).

JC, icons basically displays items in a window the same way as the icons on the desktop. You could fit many more items into a finite amount of screen space using the Icons view in comparison to the Thumbnails view. Again I'll refer to my "if it's native in explorer..." argument.

Interesting...not my style though. ;)

Would be interesting if you could save your colour configs as themes and select theme from a drop down list at the top of the dialog on this tab...much like mIRC does (and I'm sure a bazillion other programs).

Nighted, do you have "Use generic icons for super-fast browsing" enabled (Config/Advanced) by any chance? Cause if so, then that might just be the reason why custom icons don't show at all! Ok, that did the trick. I forgot about the option in the Config. I didn't have to restart XY though...
