Re: Licensing - multiple computers

XYplorer has a liberating license: "It is valid for all of the user’s computers and never expires."
the license is valid on all of your computers as long as you're the only user.
There are no IP restrictions.

But Don (the main developer) should confirm.

Okay... so what about the original topics of making the counters more visible?

Re: Thumb-gen progress counter adjustment

I'm not getting these alternating status messages, also not in fresh. What are your thumbnail settings, or what do you do to get them? Create all thumbnails at once: enabled. I went to a folder with a sufficient amount of photos, then while the thumbnails were getting created, just press+held on th...

Re: Customize the way mouse down blow up display long vertical images

Actually, the method I've described -- click the part you want to preview -- works in preview pane and info pane as well, so this only needs to be somehow implemented for non-thumbnail viewmodes only.

Disable this option: Configuration > Preview > Mouse Down Blow Up > Centered
then, click the top area of the file thumbnail when bringing up the blow up.

fishgod wrote: 20 Aug 2019 15:45 but as far as I understand the documentation I can keep XY responsive by periodically calling it, while running a long script.
for what it's worth, wait 1; seems to work okay.

Don can explain the crash.

Re: program closes went starting config

it doesn't phone home to figure out that you are downgrading; that information is contained within the configuration files.
Everything should work fine after you click away the downgrade notice, if the license is not fake. So, good luck.

Hey autocart, I would like to use the icon file as its own file icon in a portable file icons definition in order to be able to use this also in a portable "installation" of XY so that it does not matter what settings the target system has. In my own system, everything is ok. I think you'r...

Re: Reasons for using xycopy?

Actually XY can copy those metadata without xycopy, as long as the copy operation is initiated within XY. Just having Configuration > Information > Tags > Copy tags on copy operations enabled is sufficient. The impetus for XYcopy is explained here (from history.txt): v8.90.0003 - 2010-03-14 18:35 ++...

Re: xycopy forking useless

can't reproduce. This would be a pretty weird behavior since the whole point of having xycopy as a separate process is so that XYplorer doesn't get blocked during file operations.
Review your custom copy options at Tools > Configuration > File Operations.
