Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs

I've unpacked the last few portable versions to find out where the bug was introduced. In a fresh instance of 24.40.0200 the icon is displayed. And in 25.00 the icon is not.

So the bug was introduced somewhere between 24.40.0200 and 25.00.

Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs

Like I said in the original post, custom file icons is not enabled. Also, I mentioned in my further updates that I can reproduce it in fresh. And then I posted screenshots from a fresh instance.

Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs

After upgrading to the latest stable version (24.50.0200), I've found that when visiting some folders within my User profile folder in the List ('OneDrive' and 'iCloudDrive') they no longer display any icon in the tab. There's just a blank space on the tab where there would normally be a folder icon...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"

but using that as a solution will probably not live up to your expectations either. There's no need for sarcasm. I don't need to explain myself, but I'll go ahead anyway and point out just one reason why CFA (suggested as a workaround by someone else) might not be a good solution, and is not what I...

Re: Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm fully aware of how to use CFA. I'm not wanting or expecting XYplorer to do anything different from what is already configured as the default action system-wide. I'm hopeful there's an actual fix for the underlying problem. Obviously something is going...

Windows 11 keeps asking "Select an app to open this .JPG file"

I've found that when using XYplorer to double-click on a JPG file in Windows 11, Windows always asks me to "Select an app to open this .JPG file". After making my choice, even though I click "Always", I'm then asked again the next time. Every single time. If I use File Explorer t...

Re: Start Menu items removed from XYplorer's Favorites menu

OK, as a power user I will have to remember to manually type commands such as 'shell:common startup' because my file manager, XYplorer, removed the feature to do that for me. I wonder who the target market is for XYplorer these days. 99% of mainstream users probably don't care about such things as a...

Start Menu items removed from XYplorer's Favorites menu

Today I was baffled I couldn't find the Start Menu entries in XYplorer's Favorites menu, which I've used many times in the past. Searching the forum, I found out that these were recently removed on purpose: - Removed the following menu commands because they are pointless in today's Windows: - Favori...

Re: EatAlienMouseDown tweak appears to have no effect?

Anyway, I'm glad you've found that by setting EatAlienMouseDown=0 for your own use you've been able to satisfy yourself that something changed and that something works better for you now. Perhaps we can call it a placebo tweak. After all, even in the medical industry, placebos can have a powerful ef...

It's so bizarre how everything you and I do is always unreproducible by the other.

EatAlienMouseDown tweak appears to have no effect?

Reading the recent changelog, I thought I would have to enable the tweak EatAlienMouseDown=1 in order to not lose the recent improvements made to selection in the List. But as far as I can tell, enabling that tweak is not necessary because whether I set that tweak to 0 or 1, no difference is made. I...

Re: Crash after plugging in external drive

Ok, I'll create another debug version later. I've been using v23.80.0002 for a few days, hoping to catch the crash I reported since a long time ago. But I see that with the latest beta you believe it has probably been fixed based on the debug info captured by another user. Before I upgrade to a new...

Re: Locked tree gets expanded when restarting XYplorer with other pane active

Well, I don't know. As a user, I see a bug and I report what I see. I don't have access to the source code, so I can't see all the "factors". Obviously the locked tree code must be very weak if it doesn't actually lock the tree, and can be messed up by any of hundreds of user settings such...

Locked tree gets expanded when restarting XYplorer with other pane active

I've discovered a bug in version 23.70.0300 where the locked tree expands to the node where I'm at, after restarting XYplorer while the other pane is active. Example steps I've used to reproduce: Enable Dual Pane. Lock the Tree. In the locked tree, expand just the root of the drive, e.g. C: In the l...

Good for you. Thank you for your valuable contribution. I guess if you don't see any problem, and now that you've announced to everybody that it doesn't affect you, others who are experiencing the bug can all just move along. :roll:
