Error accessing folders with name starting with character [
Error accessing folders with name starting with character [
Hi,
I'd appreciate your help.
I have folders starting with character [
[APP
[PROJECTS
etc
When I try to access these folders, XYplorer gives an error message (below).
Could someone please inform what could be going wrong?
Can't XYplorer handle [ in folder name?
As a comparison, in Windows Explorer I can access/navigate these [ folders normally.
Thank you!

Even his version (fresh!) doesn't create any problems accessing those folders here...
So execute:
from the address bar by hitting enter afterwards
and try it from there first...
So execute:
Code: Select all
fresh;
and try it from there first...

Thanks for the assistance!
I updated to the last release and now it is working properly regarding [ character
The "fresh;" command is handy. Didn't know about that.
Regarding [ character, do you know if it is safe to be used in file and folder names?
I mean, I would not use [ if I know it can cause an issue with program and interactions with the OS.

They are safe to use but depending on scripting there can be pitfalls (they are treated as a wildcard (the opening of a range) in some commands)

Hi,
The problem has returned:
Error accessing folders with name starting with the character [
See this screencast showing the issue in context: http://bit.ly/2FMgdq6
However, when I run "fresh;" in the new instance I can access folders starting [
What could be going wrong? Any workaround I could try to make XYplorer current install works with [ ?
I wouldn't like to abandon my customized version and start from zero with a "fresh;" XYplorer.
Thanks!

Re: Error accessing folders with name starting with character [
I think I found the issue.
XYplorer is being run from the path starting with [
C:\!APPS\[
C:\!APPS\[System\XYPlorer\_Portable\XYplorer.exe
I made a test, closing the [] in the path
C:\!APPS\[]
C:\!APPS\[]System\XYPlorer\_Portable\XYplorer.exe
After that XYplorer is accessing the folders starting with [
a) Is there any known issue about running XYplorer.exe under a path containing [ ?
b) What is the sense XYplorer starting working after I closed [] ?

Re: Error accessing folders with name starting with character [
I cannot reproduce the error that way.
But it seems to be related to Folder View Settings. Is a Folder View Setting assigned to that path?

How can I check that?Is a Folder View Setting assigned to that path?
Re: Error accessing folders with name starting with character [
View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views...
or just try disabling altogether for testing purposes via:
View | Folder View Settings | Enable Folder View Settings

Re: Error accessing folders with name starting with character [
BTW, I think I fixed it in v19.50.0242. Or do you still see the error?

Thanks for supporting!
Using v19.60. Just tried to reproduce the problem, but XYplorer is working properly now.
