XYplorer Beta Club

Hey Filehero, Would there be a reason why a new layout saved may end up as number 1 on one computer, but on another computer/situation the new menu was number 9? It's not that important; I was just curious. Does it matter how it was saved, using the "Last Unsaved: layout name" vs. Save lay...

Hey again Filehero, Last night I was using a laptop. Today I'm on my desktop where I'm more at home. This time after installing the new alpha 0.7.5, I removed the address bar and used the "Last Unsaved: Plain" menu item to save the layout as "Original" instead of using the normal...

Hi Filehero, I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend as you planned, but maybe not, since you were probably working on Layout Manager. :) Though maybe you consider this kind of programming a bit of fun. It's looking really nice. The first thing I noticed after copying the new alpha 0.7.5 over the pre...

Hey Filehero, Yes, alpha release 0.7.1 is working fine for me. I haven't stumbled into any major glitches or even a minor one. So, it sounds like you're shooting to implement the options; 04 first (if a layout was changed from a predefined one, no golden star on reload) and 01 next or in parallel (i...

Hey Filehero, Actually option 1 might not be a bad idea. Would the asterisk carry over to a new session - that would be getting into the realm of option 3? Instead of an asterisk to indicate a deviation from a predefined layout since you are already using a golden star (and that's kind of nice), may...

Hi Filehero, I hope all is well. I loaded up your new release alpha 0.7.1 and all is well with it. The golden star is back on the last layout used when you close and reopen XYplorer. I did notice that if I make a layout attribute change to a predefined layout (e.g., removing the address bar from a p...

Hey again Filehero, switch on F9/Advanced/Remember permanent, pick any layout, close XY with save settings, restart XY and open menu Scripting/Permament Variables. What do you see? I see: $p_currentLayout = Original ...cool...permanent variable saved between sessions. What's the difference between a...

Hi Filehero, Thanks for the explanations or actually the lesson in scripting. :biggrin: It makes me want to learn more about it. I knew about global variables and their use between scripts within a session, but I did wonder about the saving of information such as the last layout between sessions as ...

Hey again Filehero. I typed up a reply to your post last night and it was all lost since I took so long to write it in between household chores. The web page expired when I tried to sent the post. :cry: My fault, I should have saved a draft. Here goes again. I agree with your logic and which is the ...

Filehero, as a follow-up to my last post (please read that first), I was able to duplicate getting the Layout Manager Menu to show up with no layouts having a golden star (no currrent layout). It happens everytime you exit XYplorer and then restart it, even when you save all settings before you exit...

Hi Filehero, I hope all is well. I've been doing a bit more playing with your 0.6 alpha version and I haven't experienced any significant issues. Though when I initially installed it (copied it to the script folder), I checked out "Renaming layout" and I think it was going to allow me to r...

I loaded 0.6 alpha but haven't yet played with it. I wanted to let you know first that I did use the bracket symbols [ ]. I believe my layout was called, Original [no address bar] See the code box of my layout ini file. Update: I made a new layout using the latest version. This time I simply called ...

Sorry, I sure will now that I know. I've seen the boxed in code in other posts so I should have realized. Thanks for pointing that out. [Layout Minimalistic] showToolbar=0 showAddressBar=0 showTabBar=0 showTree=0 showCatalog=0 showInfoPanel=0 wideInfoPanel=0 showStatusBar=0 showStatusBarButtons=0 du...

Filehero, it's such a great script, I'm just glad to help in any way I can. Alpha 0.5.1 seems to have solved some issues. I looked at the layouts.ini file however, and I could see where it saved my new layout [Original [no address bar] (just the "plain" w/o the address bar) and looked like...

Hi Filehero, What a computing piece of art like XYplorer. You don't know what you are missing (layouts) until you have it. A bit like not having a garage door opener for 30 years and now that I have it I wouldn't want a new home without one. :) I realize it's an alpha version, but I am experiencing ...
