XYPlorer fails to handle directories when they end with a space.
When you right click them in the tree, the popup menu doesn't show.
Also, when you right click them in the files/dirs listview you get the 'File' menu as popup instead of the usual directory popup menu.

See https://www.xyplorer.com/release_17.50.php#DotSpace
It's not XYplorer that fails but the Windows shell. You should rename those folders to something legal.

Re: [v19.20] : Directories ending with spaces fail
Why don't you then give a message that that is the problem?
I restarted XYPlorer a couple of times, I restarted Windows, and then I even installed an older version of XYPlorer to try and get it to work.
After all that, I decided to check the directory from within Visual Studio in one of my C++ projects. Only then I saw that there was 1 directory (of the many I had in the directory) that contained a space at the end.
Could you at least give a warning message instead of just failing silently?

Good idea. Next version will show a warning in the Status Bar.

Re: [v19.20] : Directories ending with spaces fail
Wouldn't a messagebox be clearer? The likelihood of seeing a teeny tiny message in the statusbar is probably unnoticeable when you are focused on where you are clicking.
Anyway, thanks for the effort!

Too disruptive.
Addtionally I'll add a way to color-filter these files.
