Re: Drag and drop suddenly stopped working

Just a guess--sounds like what happens when the new MDBU on icons feature is enabled and you try to drag an icon for a non-previewed file type. Are you able to drag by file name but not icon?

Re: XYAHK_customInlineRenameKeys

The main questions to me are: What exactly is "a word" to you in this context? Should a word also contain non-alpha-numeric chars? If so, at the beginning or end of the word? Reversly, what to do with non-alpha-numeric chars at the end or beginning of the file name? How to handle the exte...

Re: XYAHK_customInlineRenameKeys

This really is quite cool. A seemingly little thing that adds really useful functionality. I thought all I cared about was the mouse dbl-click behavior, but tried XYAHK_customInlineRenameKeys_v0.006 and am sold on the kb enhancements. I don't know if AHK can overide program key defs, but playing aro...

Re: mouse selection during in-place renaming

maybe this will help for right now: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12632&p=113043#p113043 Thanks! However, seems like it disables dbl-clicks to open files & folders when in-place renaming ~not~ activated. Have never used AHK but giving figuring out your AHK script a sp...

Re: Save the tabs on exit

I have a set of tabs for XY. I would like this group to be a permanent one in my XY. Even if I change them, after I exit and come back I would like the original ones only to be there. Check out locked tabs and tabsets--two approaches. You could load a saved tabset w/ startup script to get exactly w...

mouse selection during in-place renaming

With renaming behavior on the table again, I will mention this. When in-place renaming a name like "name-with spaces.ext", dbl clicking on one of the words in the name selects the word ~and~ the space or punctuation to the right of it. This includes the dot between the right-most word and ...

Re: how to stop mini tree from adding all of leaf node's fol

What I think should happen when you expand the bottom-most folder in the mini tree is that it should not have any subfolders. I ~think~ you are saying that dbl-clicking on (or clicking the node icon of) a folder that hasn't previously been expanded in mini tree should do nothing, rather than add al...

Re: how to stop mini tree from adding all of leaf node's fol

...However, if I expand a leaf node in the tree, it automatically adds ALL of that folder's subfolders to the tree... Have you discovered that once you add at least one sub-folder to a given folder in mini-tree you can then expand and collapse the parent folder all you want without adding extra sub...

First impression is that it is fast -- very fast -- Speed (& portability) are XY's biggest priorities, and it shows :-) (Biggest hassle for most, just to be prepared, seems to be file preview..) . . I bet there are tips and techniques that allow getting the most out of the program that may not ...
