Well, this is your chance to help

Is it just me?
Wouldn't it make more sense to "sortby m, d;" and have the top item selected automatically.
My brain must be wired differently as i never understood why the newest item should be at the bottom of any list.

You might not have discovered yet the advantages of XY's "New Items". You can not only have one blank Excel worksheet there but various different templates with identifying names to choose from. It even allows you to have folder structures sitting there (with or without files in it) which ...

For the first wish you might want to read up on "New Items" in the help file, for the second one just add the toolbar button "Command Prompt" to your toolbar to achieve this.

Not with the usual tools as far as tested.
I found some old posts that something similar happened a few years back on Synology NAS's so the problem may lay there.
Still confused how WE manages to display something different though.

Will keep you posted.

And yet here they are.
Maybe another screenshot helps?

It would appear that Win Explorer does some trickery in its display. If I check the properties of one of these folders in both WE and XY (same shell dialog I guess) they both show the same wrong created date in 2421 but WE seems to adapt the display of the created column to match modified if it is a...

I suddenly saw strange date stamps on folders in XY (way in the future), so I went and timestamped these folders with a CFA that makes the created date identical to the modified but they still display as wrong. The same folders show proper dates in Win Explorer. PicPick_899.jpg The files reside on a...

When mapping the drives initially, did you tick the box "Reconnect at sign-in" as shown below?

Wouldn't you rather post this in the "Wishes" section?

Another possible cause for 2.:
Depending on your update behaviour, i.e. if you run the XY..._Install.exe as admin, you end up with an elevated instance of XY, which you then need to close and restart with normal privileges again.

If that is the case, we are rather looking at editors and not file managers IMO.

Just switch in off in config.
Sort and Rename / Sort Folders apart.

Wouldn't it be easier not to lock that tab in the first place?

Just R-click the catalog entry and select Properties to edit.
