XYplorer 21.10.0025. The <xydrive> variable doesn't work.

[KLASS]

Variable ?: works...

Works fine here.

Please describe your problem in words. I can read.

[KLASS]

After updating XYplorer on 21.10.0025, the <xydrive> variable stopped working.
If you replace the <xydrive> variable with a variable ?:, then everything works.
The picture above shows it.

1. Create the Programs folder on disk D
2. Put the XYplorer folder (without settings) in the Programs folder
3. Also, for example, put the AkelPad folder in the Programs folder
4. Create a permanent variable
perm $prog; $prog = "<xydrive>\Programs";
6. Change the variable
$prog = D:\Programs ===> $prog = <xydrive>\Programs
6. Create a user button.

7. Click this button to launch AkelPad
8. Open any disk in XYplorer and click the created Button again

It is because you are editing the variable directly through the PV menu entry and entering it unresolved, so you need to resolve it in your script, wherever you are calling it, although XY resolves it in the error message later (going by your screenshots that error msg does look to be incorrectly resolved though, but I haven't tested). The same would happen for any enviro/xy variables, not just <xydrive>, and "?:" syntax performs differently again compared to a perm var.

So this: perm $prog = "<xydrive>\Programs"; actually resolves it then stores it resolved in the PV, that is not the case when you edit it directly in the PV editor, and enter is in raw form, when you do that you need to resolve it yourself in your script.

The above is just an example, but! I didn't touch (change) the variable. I created the variable a long time ago, and the problems started immediately after updating XYplorer to version 21.10.0025.

Nothing changed here in 21.10.0025. I cannot see any problems.

On left click: open """$prog\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe"""
Try that and btw, there is a name and icon field for a ctb so there is no need to put that stuff in the script part

[KLASS]

The point is that in 21.10 works in 21.10.0033 - no

[highend]

The point is that you try that and tell me if it works...

[KLASS]

Code: Select all

open """$prog\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe"""

This is how it works!
There may be a lot of buttons and you don't want to edit them, you want to find out why it doesn't work in 0033
It is easier to change the variable to ?:\Programs, but it was unexpected for me when all programs stopped running after updating to XYplorer 21.10.0025

It fails since v21.10.0024, so it's probably the change to open that causes this

What exactly fails?

[highend]

Executing open "$prog\AkelPad\AkelPad.exe" (or any other executable)
when you have a permanent variable named $prog that has the content <xydrive>\Tools where <xydrive> is the literal string (unresolved)
and when the list pane is inside a drive (e.g. C:\). It does NOT fail if you are in "This PC"!

It does work in v21.10.0023, but not in v21.10.0024

The black screen at the end is Notepad++ started...
