Lost Hover Box - due to Conflict

Post by iaseac »

Everything was just fine except when I attempted to enlarge the Hover Box in XY per the the the F1 instructions
which state: Numpad Add increase size by 10 pixels. and Numpad Subtract ... same 10 pixels. Both triggered Listary and the
Hover box remained unchanged. There was a clear conflict - IMHO.

With XY open I did the disable in the Listary. After the first trial with that and a full reboot of the PC - the hover box was lost.
Then I Changed the Default File manager from XY to the M$ one. and unchecked the xplorer2 - per the attached jpg.

The XY settings remain unchanged.
The Hover Box remains gone.

Not believed.
Listary doesn't watch anything in your Hover box and has no influence of its display.
I ran Listary togehter with XY and there was never any problem with them.
Restore you xyplorer.ini from a backup or try a fresh ini.

the item type you're hovering over is selected in

and the correct context is set as well?

So you are:

- Hovering over an item type that is ticked in Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select Item Types...
- Hovering over its icon
- Holding the shift key (and did this before reaching the icon with the mouse)

Some inadvertent stupidity. Sorry for wasting some time - I'm helping a friend etc...
XY runs just fine with the "shift key". 960 x 720 approximate hower size (depending on shape of image). + and - keys on the numpad also work without the Listary conflict.

Wish list for my 4K monitors - 960 is not near 80% of the monitors. Why can the Hover box images all remain saved as a constant % of screen - and not require a constant enlarge with the + key for each image viewed?
60% of screen vertical dimension would be a good default IMHO.

(Yes I know Don is up to his a** in alligators.)

Thanks again all...
