XYplorer Beta Club

Do you also get a freeze when you rename a file in the list using simple inline rename? I was. Yes. That and right clicking on a folder on both the local drive and/or a network folder. Both would kill my XY...sometime to the point of having to restart the box. For me - this sort of thing was Window...

This thread is starting to stray off topic :wink: I want XYplorer to completely replace Explorer as much as the next guy, but let's please keep discussion of such to other threads/forums :) Agreed. Back on track. In Windows 7 - I was freezing by the minute when browsing network shares. In Vista 64 ...

No, also WE XP and every other file manager I've seen has DESKTOP at top level. I deliberately decided in version 1.0 of XYplorer (then called "Tracker") that I prefer My Computer on top, and up to now (> 10 years later) I've heard little complaints... :) Not complaining - just asking if ...

I don't fully understand yet. C:\Users\*Username* is a real path (this should work of course in XY). But they are shown directly under MyComputer in the V/7 tree? You have a screenshot? No - I didn't say there were stored under My Computer in Vista/7 explorer. In the screencap - you can see the Use...

Under XP they are subfolders of My Documents. Is that different under V/7? Oh yes...totally different. They are all separate folders in V/7 under: C:\Users\*Username* If something could be done in XY to facilitate choosing which of these special folders appear in the tree - that would be fab. It so...

Windows 7 Ultimate x64. And I'm working off of a drive mapped to a remote share on another workstation in the same domain (running XP). It's the same machine I worked with while my own machine was running XP, and I didn't have this issue. Identical experience over here - but ONLY when I moved to Wi...

Another piece of information - this same behavior (roughly) occurs when I'm renaming files on a remote share. There are several seconds of non-responsiveness when I rename a file, which makes it a royal pain when I have to rename multiple files. It's useless to try tabbing from one file rename to a...

Something else I'm noticing. When this happens, and XY freezes for a few seconds - when it comes back, XY momentarily dissappears from the taskbar and reappears all the way on the right - as if it shut down and restarted itself. I have seen this as well...but only on Win 7....since my switch back t...

Just an update on this - I wiped the machine (due to ongoing hassles with Windows 7) and went back to Vista 64 Business SP2 - and just as I expected - I have not encountered a single issue, freeze, glitch or anything...with all the usual suspects appearing on the context menu....just the way it was ...

Between 8.70 and 8.80 nothing concerning the shell context menu was changed in the code. Therefore I don't know where to look. No blood trace. Hmm...it must be something either in 7 or I may have some rogue extension wreaking havoc. However - Windows 7 has exposed enough rough edges in the past few...

Crashes on right-clicking are in 100% of all cases caused by third party shell extensions. Anything suspicious in your context menu? Hmm...I have Tag N Rename installed...WinRAR...ESET AV...my usual complement of tools...nothing oddball or esoteric tho....this core set of tools has been in use for ...

Yes! This is/was tied to my comment in the thread about "temp non-responsive network shares"...but this is more like what I am seeing. Under Windows 7 for sure - I am getting very very sporatic "freezes"...which then turn into a full blown crash...when right clicking on a folder ...

I see. It has maybe to do with how the connection was established initially. When you establish the connection using Explorer and then do the file operation using XYplorer -- does this work better? There is definitely something going on here - especially in Windows 7 - running Windows 7 32 bit and ...
