Re: Renaming a file based on extended properties

I exited XYplorer. Opened the ini file in notepad, made the edit and restarted XYplorer. I think that should have worked.

Re: Renaming a file based on extended properties

You can tweak the entries in INI section [ID3toFilename]: for example this will make the first item in MP3 special rename to use just the title: 1=Title 2=Track - Artist - Title 3=Artist - Album - Track - Title Thanks for the help, I have tweaked this however it doesn't seem to work. I have changed...

Re: Autofocus file from Browser

Pity, but this does not help me. Are you sure that XY was opened by Chrome? There should be a command line entry... Ok, I've tried again and here is the result: Command: "D:\Users\XYX\Downloads" CommandW: "D:\Users\XYX\Downloads" Command Normalized: "D:\Users\XYX\Downloads\...

Hi there, I have a whole bunch of mp3 files which I want to change the names of to "title" property of the mp3. I've tried the MP3 special rename and searched the forum but I can't find an obvious way of achieving this. There are some threads but they don't seem to help. Can any one help? ...

Re: Autofocus file from Browser

Where is that "Show in folder"? To be clear I am using Google Chrome not Firefox as the OP mentioned. When a file is downloaded in Chrome it appears on a bar at the bottom of the screen. Click on the arrow next to the file name and it has several options including "Show in Folder&quo...

Autofocus file from Browser

Hi there, When I download a file from my browser (in this case Google Chrome) I regularly chose the option "Show in folder". With Windows Explorer this opens the folder and focussed the file. However in XYPlorer this opens the folder but does not focus the files. I'm sure that I must be mi...

Preserving folder size on refresh

Hi all,

When clearing out old stuff I find the Shift-F5 shortcut to show the folder size very useful. However if then delete a folder I have to press F5 again to get the folder sizes back - is there any option or setting to prevent this happening?

Many thanks,

Re: Creating a folder whilst a search is running fails
