Re: Problems with Icon overlays

Strange -- you are correct that older versions still exhibit the same problem (which they didn't before).

Any idea why Explorer would show the correct icon overlay, but XY doesn't? Also, any ideas on how to reset it so it works again?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Re: Problems with Icon overlays

(adding to this thread since it's related to Icon Overlays -- sorry if it should have been its own topic)... I recently updated my XY to the latest version (after not updating for a month or two). I'm not sure if it's related, but I now notice that my Tortoise SVN overlays are not accurate any more....

Backup all files and folders *except* recycle and sys vol

Hi All, I'm looking to write a script to backup all files and folders from one drive to another, except the Recycle Bin and System Volume Information folders. It appears the syntax would be: backupto [destination], [source], 1,1,,,,, If that's the case, how do I get it to skip just those two special...

TheQwerty wrote:Another option would be to retrieve the date in a different format by using Report:

$tmpdate = Report('{Modified yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss}', $file);
Oh, cool -- I didn't know about that option! Thanks for letting me know!

Re: Timestamp (scripting) error -- adds a day!

My suggestion would be to use the ISO format when retrieving the date which should allow you to avoid this complication for the time being: yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss.fffffff Thanks for the reply. Looks like I was able to do it using a block like this: foreach($file, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>&q...

Timestamp (scripting) error -- adds a day!

Hi, I've got a script that I use to add version information to dll files, but I don't want the file date changed (which the relevant program does). So, in a foreach loop, I capture the modified date of the file, run the program on the file, and then run the timestamp script command to set the date b...

How to add a UTF-8 Byte-order-marker to a file?

Hi,

I've got some files that are UTF-8 encoded, but without the byte-order-marker. I know there must be a way to add the needed characters to the beginning of these files, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: Sometimes XYPlorer will not start at all

Well, I DO use Avast as my AV. Maybe I will uninstall it and see if things change. There are plenty of other AV programs out there. You may see the problem with ANY AV that you use. What most of us have done is just to add XYPlorer.exe to the list of files not to scan. Seems to work really well. [E...

Re: XYplorer slow to open

I installed 15.00.0208, and startup took about 12 seconds. Closed and restarted, and it started in less than 1 second. Did this a few times, all with startup less than 1 second. Then did a bunch of work with other things, closed XY and restarted, and startup took about 5 seconds. Restarted, and it w...

Re: Open and Save Dialog Boxes

I use Listary to provide lists of favorite folders, etc. It's aware of XY, so I can use my current XY directory in Load/Save dialogs. The way to do this when you have a "Save As" or "Load" dialog active is to move the mouse cursor over your XY window and back to the load/save dia...

Re: Simple filter

+1 for a quick filter feature. "type ahead find" is nice, but to me "type ahead filter" would be more useful. Sure there are "Quick Search" ways to achieve the same. But most of the time, when in a mess directory, I just use the type ahead (with "match anywhere&qu...

Thanks for that, works like a charm :) I love XY and the community of XY'ers who have the same passion of ultra-efficiency Getting greedy now - Can I use the same type ahead idea , and the files list becomes smaller as only the matches show up ? Basically in the files list itself, type part of a na...
