Yes! Version .0123 solves this problem and now shortcuts to .bms files run smoothly. But one problem still remains: Macrium Reflect 8 image backup files with extension .mrimg do not open/run in XY while they run perfectly when launched from Windows Explorer. Could this be also related to the same pr...

OK, I managed to determine which version started to cause problems:

v .0110 still worked OK
starting with v .0111 the problem started. Something must have been done in v .0111 that causes problem with running some file shortcuts from XY.

I hope this helps to determine the problem.

I guess I'll use my Macrium Reflect system drive backups to create virtual C drives of a few days back. But I'm travelling now, so I'll come back to this later.

No, it points to C:\Z\Programs\Backup Magic
This has worked for years, I did not change anything recently.
It all worked perfectly some 2-3 days ago...

So it probably is connected with XY. When I run these shortcuts in Explorer, they work OK...
Adding later: restarting PC didn't help.

Now I realized that it doesn't work even when I disable this customized association. But when running a .bms file directly, then it works OK. Just when running a shortcut to it is when it fails. I guess the problem is not with XY. But where is it then? I'm on Win11 Ent x64 22H2. Any idea anybody?

bms><xydrive>\Z\Programs\Backup Magic\BMagic.exe This is my line from Custom Files Associations Editor. It should run any and all shortcuts with extension .bms. Until recently, this worked without a flaw for years. Now they suddenly do not run. Nothing happens, just XY button on the taskbar flashes ...

Yes. I have in mind shortcuts to programs with their customized file associations in Menu Tools. Few days ago it worked OK, now it doesn't.

Latest version of XY (.0122) has problems with running shortcuts to programs. They just do not run.

Yes, I can confirm that in v 0120 they work again as expected. Speedy Gonzales
Never saw a bug addressed so quickly.

EXEs work OK. I tried PDF, JPG, TXT. These do not open in my customized programs as before but ask which program to use to open them.

Pleaase note that customized associations do not work in version *0119. Instead, XY loads the standard system selection of which program to use to run the file.

Yes, confirming, superb!

Glad to help

Using Macrium Reflect automated hourly drive backup, I was able to determine that the last XY version where the D&D functionality worked OK and to which I updated was v 24.20.0303. I have not tested v 24.20.0304, as I missed it. All later versions, starting with 24.20.0305, show problem when att...
