Xyplorer constantly crashes daily

Post by sl23 »

I've been doing some intensive file management for the last few days or so, and XY has been closing unexpectedly. I've noticed it's usually on a drag operation to or from another app, or when another extraction program runs.

I've had several other issues too:
WinRar and FileMenuTools functions not appearing in context menus but appear in Q-Dir's context menu.
Right click menu won't show even after several clicks. Though one point, it worked only if R-clicking on a file icon.
Drag and drop from other apps showed a 'No Entry' symbol. ie a Circle with a diagonal line through it. So I couldn't drag or drop to XY.

Though I have broken my golden rule due to the intensive management and put my PC to sleep the last few nights due to being in the middle of stuff. I have had to close XY several times in order to regain functionality as well as it closing without warning. I have also restart my PC a couple times due to R-click not returning even when restarting XY.

Can you please look into this as it's a real pita having to close all the tabs I'm working on. Thank you. :tup:

I assume you drag using the right mouse button?

No, never have done, unless I needed the context menu, but I only ever used that for shortcuts, why?

NB. currently I am unable to drag files from WinRar to XY. Meaning I have to lose my tabs again.

Just to let you know, I have just restarted my PC. If this is to do with using the PC's sleep function, then I should have no further issues today. I'll inform you of the outcome.

I never usually use the sleep function as in the 'Vista' days, my laptop would throw up all sorts of little problems, which I narrowed down to that very thing. People assure me it's fine to use, but in my experience it causes problems.

We'll see... ;)

Now Drag and drop within XY stopped functioning, as well as from Q-Dir. But DnD to Q-Dir works fine, as does Cut/Copy/Paste.

Sorry:
XY = Always latest build
OS = Win11 kept updated
FMT = Always latest build

I always keep apps up to date. :biggrin:

An addition to my post above.
I don't have context menu problems in XY while the FileMenuTools are registered
but I have serious problems with Total Commander context menus while the tools are enabled.

Well I am constantly getting these issues and it's causing a real problem with XY and it's only XY that is affected. No other File Manager has these issues. Just downloaded MultiCommander and tried using that for a while, no such issues have arisen. But going back to XY and straight away I get no WinRar again.

Also having folders NOT opening in XY from external sources. Tried disabling and re-enabling shell integration, but still doesn't work.

This is clearly an internal issue, could you please investigate Don, thank you.

Since no one else seems to have these problems and you seem to be in a state of emergency, I have a quick fix for you: use one of these other, better, file managers. :)
