True. This is when the selected items are in different locations. The shell commands will not work correctly here -- this is the oldest, nastiest, and hardest-tried mystery of all the mysteries I ever met when developing this app. I know that Explorer handles it right, but nobody knows how it's done.

Looks like you are talking about the Default File Manager setting. Yes, this is indeed a registry hack and XYplorer does it for you here: Configuration | Shell Integration | XYplorer is default file manager. This works for Open... but not for Find... (what should the latter be anyway: Open XYplorer...

If you do a Find... and then browse onward from the results, the results of the search are not cached or held in the forward-back chain, so you can't press the Back button to return to them. You have to re-select the folder, then re-do the search. Any chance of Find... results being cached or able ...

Not possible because / is already used in the syntax of S&R.

I notice that the option "Don't save most-recently-used lists" is a catch-all for quite a number of different lists. Would you consider breaking this down into separate options? I'd like to have the option to not remember Recent Locations without affecting some of the other things like re...

No, options are relatively bad things. They mean work, waste of time, responsibility, risk, stress... A good thing (machine, software, lover) would be one where everything is hardcoded exactly the way you like it.

OK OK, you finally softened my heart. You get something with the next BETA... + Configuration | Templates: To suppress the automatic upgrade notice in the titlebar (it is shown when you first run a new XYplorer version), you can now add the pseudo-variable <nun> (= No Upgrade Notice) anywhere to th...

This is not as trivial as I thought (because: tab titles are set *after* the window caption). Therefore: let's close this thread.

Thanks, that clarifies the issue. In that case two quick questions :) What are the odds of a "disable tabbing" option (ie "new tab" options optionally showing as "new window/session") and what is the chance of some ability to customize the context menu for files and fo...

Hmm. Just checked, thank you - it does literally just hide the tab bar. The tabs still exist, they just have to be accessed by shortcut or the "window -> tabs -> (list)" menu. This goes a little further than I thought. Effectively the config option is really a "view tab bar" opt...

Change Log for the latest XYplorer BETA version (v9.40.0112, 04-sep-2010). v9.40.0112 - 2010-09-04 20:31 + Menu Edit | Select | Selection Filter...: Now you can add to or remove from the current selections. - hold SHIFT while clicking OK in the Selection Filter dialog = Add matches to the current s...

But that might not be what everybody wants who hides the tab headers (nothing more happens when you "disable tabbing"). IMO j_c_hallgren is right: when you are not interested in tabs then you do not use a function like "open in new background tab". Apart from that it would make ...

That was planned anyway, and was already coded under the hood. :mrgreen: It will work like this: 1) hold SHIFT while clicking OK in Ctrl+M dialog = Add matches to current selections 2) hold CTRL while clicking OK in Ctrl+M dialog = Remove matches from current selections This was my intuitive decisi...
