XYplorer Beta Club

I had a mysterious problem with my machine where a backup hard drive E (which is only accessed once a day) kept spinning up (using power and making a noise) for no reason throughout the day. Clearly something was accessing it for no reason. Using process monitor I eventually narrowed down on XYPlore...

Any chance of anyone responding here? Seems a fairly straightforward problem.

It is not clear to me whether XYPlorer is operating as intended with orphan tags (or temporary orphans) -- I was under the impression that these are supposed to be retained for the user to resolve but this is only variably true. a) My XY was located at X:\Dropbox\xyplorer b) I have many hundreds of ...

Try this and let us know what happens Change the default association for .ico files in Windows to another random program Simple to do -- in Windows file explorer find a .ico file, right click "Open with" check box to always use this file, and open with some other (installed - i.e. non port...

@highend -- I haven't tried this but I'm a little confused as to what it achieves. Without any external software the Cameron Kelly (in the sample picture from the OP) shows up just fine in a custom column Property > Tags -- which is what I use all the time. 20190321 2202 Blatt 1515.jpg or one could ...

The problem with that is that there are a lot of other reasons to color the whole row - most especially for labels -- so it would make those labels hard to see. The problem for me is really the reverse of what you describe -- that row color for labelled items abolishes the partial row color from the...

That's great - thank you greatly. I will see what I can do with that and report back for others to use. Is there an easy way to eliminate labels that start with Unused* ?

I have found that the only reason I have to use the catalog is for click and search, so I want to regain that screen-estate. I am using the following scripts on a button to deal with tags (all from this forum or adapted for my use): To replace click and tag: $tags = taglist(); if !($tags) { status &...

Works great thanks

Well that was fast - though I meant speed of script execution. Many thanks!

I have a comment column sowing xyplorer comment tags. If I right click on that column for an item I get a menu: edit comment, set last comment (which is in bold) ..... etc. The problem I have is that if I right click the text in set last comment is applied. So even touching the item via that column ...

Here is the problem: I have zillions of files and only a few (0.1%) have xyplorer comment tags. The issue is that because comments are rare I usually miss them (unless I search for files with comments which involves a deliberate act). I could show the comments as a column, but that involves a lot a ...

Thanks for the help. Changing the cmt search to a method without inversion solves it, but raises questions then about use of inversions in booleans.
Smart boolean was already checked.

Why would the first method not have worked, as we had the union of two valid expressions ?

I am getting very unexpected results using AND in searches. Not sure whether it is my misunderstanding, or whether there is some sort of a bug involving (particularly) the way in which comment tags are handled. Normally one would expect AND to produce the union of the two independent searches, but t...

None of mine do that. Maybe let us know which particular icon(s) - are they your own icons which were initially black on a white transparent background?
