Ah I see

Btw I managed to trigger the original bug again in 18.80.0020.

(ps: The new "Filename Length Info" function was pretty handy to recreate a testcase with the right amount of characters instead of having to blindly try to find a bug triggering combination.)

Steps:
0) xyplorer_beta_noinstall_[18.80.0020] => Extracted, no settings changed except changing to list view for clarity (bug triggers with the default detail view also).

1) Create the following folders:
C:\0\1

C:\0\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

C:\0\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

2) Create the following files in folder "C:\0\1\AAAA...":
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

3) Select all 8 .txt files and drag and drop them to subfolder "BBB... located in ""C:\0\1"
=> (Moving them so they're located in C:\0\1\AAAA...\BBBB...\*.txt)

4) See pic:

No luck this time. Cannot reproduce. Are these the right numbers (see Len column)?

[Zeta]

Yeah:
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB = 129
1->4 = 271
5-8 = 241

To make sure I did a fresh extract from the No-Install zip.
No settings changed except for:
- Turning of Dual Pane
- Enabling the "Len" column

[admin]

If I do this I get this message:

[Zeta]

Weird I don't get that.
By default custom copy is off, turning it on doesn't fix it anymore either.
Weird stuff.

Just retried with a fresh No-Install extract:

Create a folder: C:\0

Extract: Test.rar to C:\0

Extract: xyplorer_beta_noinstall_[18.80.0020].zip to C:\0\xyplorer_beta_noinstall_[18.80.0020]

Run: C:\0\xyplorer_beta_noinstall_[18.80.0020]\XYplorer.exe

[admin]

What's your Windows version?

[Zeta]

Win 7 x64 SP1

[admin]

I'll add a fix attempt to 18.90.0001 later...

[Zeta]

Mhm, yeah it's weird.

[Zeta]

1) I just tried v18.90.0001 No-Install zip.
2) Extracted, no settings changed.
3) First run of xyplorer.exe => XYPlorer again connects to the internet as the previous beta did, v18.90.0000 Release version doesn't do this.
4) Deactivate Dual Pane, add Len column.

A) With default settings ("Use Custom Copy" is unticked) I get now: Use custom copy to move more then one overlong item at a time.
B) With "Use Custom Copy => Ticked" the files move as intended without giving that error from before

Pretty surely that's connected to the digital signature. Your Firewall trusts digitally signed apps only. If you don't trust my beta versions then you have to limit yourself to the official releases.

OTOH I see that some users might be irritated by that call to the internet which is only necessary to list the available interface languages. It might just be smarter to turn this off...

Ah, good!

Yeah it might be possible that it's related to the digital signature.

The reason that I reported it is that it's not that I don't trust you, it's that it might make some people uncomfortable.
When I first saw it try to connect to the internet I was like hmm why does it want to connect to the internet?
So I went to the configuration dialog and I saw that the update check is turned off by default.
I had no idea that it could be related to be able to list the available interface languages.

Maybe you could bundle the languages with the Beta releases if they don't take up too much space?

Ah I see

Might this also be related to if you paste an extremely long path\filename in the urlbar that it gives cuts off the path and gives an error?

For instance if you use the files from the previous test case:
1) Go to: C:\0
2) Click/Select: test.rar
3) Press: Ctrl+P (Copied to clipboard: 1 path/name) == This location is in the clipboard now => C:\0\test.rar
4) Go to: C:\
5) Paste this in the urlbar: C:\0\test.rar
6) You end up in C:\0 with test.rar selected

This is a really useful feature if you use a disc cataloging tool where you copy the path\filename from and then paste that in XYplorer's urlbar to directly go to the file's folder and the file'll be selected too.
This way you don't have to manually browse through the folder or use a filter on the folder.

But with really long paths/filenames you get this:
1) Go to:
C:\0\1\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB\

2) Click/Select:
C:\0\1\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB\111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

3) Press: Ctrl+P (Copied to clipboard: 1 path/name) == This location is in the clipboard now =>
C:\0\1\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB\111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

4) Go to: C:\

5) Paste this in the urlbar:
C:\0\1\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB\111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

6) See pic:
Instead of ending up in folder below - With the .txt file being selected:
C:\0\1\1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB\

The path gets cut off and you end up with only the filename in the urlbar:
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

Also the filename gets cut off at the 2 arrows I put on the screenshot (the tooltip at the bottom comes from hovering over the (?) in the statusbar)
