Path depth exceeded & incorrect rich move dialog

[Zeta]

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create the following folders:

C:\0\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

C:\0\B

2) Put the following files in folder: C:\0\AAAAA...
New Textfile.txt
New Textfile-011111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

3) Select both .txt files and drag & drop them to: C:\0\B

4) Unexpected result: See Pic:

5) I haven't extensively tested it but it seems to happen when at least one of the selected items in the source folder exceeds the path depth.
Usually due to a really deep path and a file with long filename that ends exceeding path depth limit when both are combined.
This has been happening for quite a long while so I have no idea when this was introduced.

I followed your steps but did not get the same result.

What are your settings here?
Configuration | General | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Support overlong filenames
Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use Custom Copy

And are you using the latest version of XYplorer?

[Zeta]

*) Support overlong filenames = Checked
*) Use Custom Copy = Checked for all copy and move operations

This is with XYplorer 18.60.0000 and a quite a few earlier versions.
I just upgraded to 18.80.0000 and it still happens.

To make sure I don't have any weird/corrupt settings in my ini tried 18.80.0000 No-Install too.
RAR extracted, no settings changed except for turning of dual-pane.
(Support overlong filenames is enabled by default)
Then tested again after I noticed custom copy wasn't enabled by default.
Both the default "Unchanged No-Install" and "Enabling "Custom Copy in No-Install" give the same result as below.

Does it also happen when you untick this?
Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Use standard shell drag and drop

That unticking this fixes it ^^

I've looked at the manual but I'm not sure if there are downsides to disabling this or as to what it does exactly.

[admin]

Well, you discovered a real evil crash bug, and what you saw (those dialogs) were just weird effects of a system that exploded.

The point here is was (it's fixed now) that the shell cannot handle those long paths and just crashes on the spot. Next version smoothly works around this.

Thanks for the report!

[Zeta]

Ah I see, no problem and thanks for the fast fix

I also noticed another bug related to this:
If you increase the filename's length with additional characters you hit another bug:

Original filename:
New Textfile.txt

Bug triggering filename:
New Textfile-01111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another one I noticed in the past:

Increase the filename to:

From:
Path depth exceeded & incorrect rich move dialog - XYplorer Beta Club.url

To:
Path depth exceeded & incorrect rich move dialog - XYplorer Beta Club------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.url

The trick is to increase the filename so much that you hit this bug without triggering the bug in the post above.
This will break the file type icon as shown in the pic below.

I'm not sure if it's related to the bug you're going to fix but moving files from AAA... to BBBB... with :

Source Folder:
C:\0\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\

Source Folder's Files:
New Textfile.txt
New Textfile-01111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

C:\0\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\Path depth exceeded & incorrect rich move dialog - XYplorer Beta Club------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.url

Target Folder:
C:\0\CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

1) If you click yes on recreate the folder structure you get:
The .url file won't move.

2) "New Textfile.txt" ends up in:
C:\0\CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\New Textfile.txt

3) The other txt file with the long filename ends in:
C:\0\CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC\AAAAAA~1\New Textfile-01111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.txt

Also if you move the 3 files back manually, XYPlorer won't auto-refresh the view even though auto-refresh is turned on.
You need to press F5 to refresh the view to show the actual (empty) state of the folder.

I'm not "going to fix", but I already fixed it. Please download the latest beta here from the forum.

Conc. the icons: shell icons come from the shell, and the shell gives up on overlong names, so: no icons. That's just the way it is and no bug.

/me downloads

Woo yea it works now

I like the drag&drop tooltip too

Could that possibly be fixed with some kind of auto implementation of "Custom File Icons (CFI)" or would make things too complicate and or lead to all kinds of issues to getting the correct icons and other things I'm not thinking about.

From now on, dragging silently switches to XYplorer's native dragging machine in cases where shell dragging is unable to cope.

I noticed that if select more then one file (like the 3 from my test) it asks you to copy them one by one if you turn off Custom Copy.


Something else I noticed that 18.80.0000 doesn't do is:
1) Extract the No-Install ZIP of 18.80.0020, don't change anything
2) Run XYplorer.exe
3) Firewall gives a notice about XYPlorer trying to connect to the internet.
4) Go to options and see that: Check for updates on start is unchecked by default

Also 18.80.0000 asks you to select a language and 18.80.0020 doesn't (might be related to it being a beta?).

1) Yes, shell copy can't do any better.

2) Hmm. Can't be. Sure?

3) You can always select one from the Help menu.

With "Nr2" you ment the firewall alert, right?:

1) 3 Releases:
xyplorer_full_noinstalll_[18.60.0000].rar
xyplorer_full_noinstalll_[18.80.0000].rar
xyplorer_beta_noinstall_[18.80.0020].zip

2) Extract (with WinRAR 5.50 64bit) (Each Archive To A Separate Folder) to: C:\0

3) Result:
C:\0\xyplorer_beta_noinstall_[18.80.0020]
C:\0\xyplorer_full_noinstalll_[18.60.0000]
C:\0\xyplorer_full_noinstalll_[18.80.0000]

4) Don't change anything after extracting
5) Run: XYplorer.exe
6) Click "Continue Evaluation"
7) Results:
18.60.0000 => No firewall alert + Yes language selection dialog
18.80.0000 => No firewall alert + Yes language selection dialog
18.80.0020 => Yes firewall alert + No language selection dialog
.............. => Firewall Allert => Application: XYplorer.exe | Remote: 5.35.226.108 - TCP | Port: https(443)
.............. => https://ipinfo.io/5.35.226.108 => Among others xyplorer.com is hosted on that IP
