Warn on opening multiple files at once
Warn on opening multiple files at once
So today I accidentally pressed Enter with over 700 files selected... killing the resulting hundreds of windows, even via command line, took a few minutes as new windows kept popping up. When this happens in Windows Explorer, you get a warning asking you if you're sure you want to open that many items at once. I think this would be a good feature to have in XYPlorer.

I'd like to see this too. +1

Re: Warn on opening multiple files at once
Yeah, +1 from me too.
Maybe set a reasonable value by default and let the power users tweak it in the .ini (if they really need to)

Oh, yes, please! +1 from me!
(now if I could just get Thunderbird to do the same when I highlight multiple messages for deletion -- sometimes it thinks I want to open them all...)

Re: Warn on opening multiple files at once
There used to be a safety belt for this...
Nothing in the change log from that time stands out as a likely culprit.
Far as I can tell it broke somewhere between v8.20.0027 and v8.30.0000, and went unnoticed until now.History.txt wrote:Code: Select all

v8.30.0000 - 2009-08-31 12:00 = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release: +++ Search Results Caching. The results of time-consuming searches can now be stored and retrieved tabwise and across sessions. +++ Dual Pane. Now you can easily move or copy tabs between the panes. +++ Spot & Jump. Quickly jump to any item in a large list, just as you know it from your web browser's Find Bar. +++ EXIF Stamping. The new command "Set Modified Date to EXIF Date" sets the Modified date of each selected image file to the file's EXIF date (Exchangeable Image File Format). +++ Configuration. In the new section "Features" you can control some of the advanced functionality of XYplorer and disable features which you do not use or wish to see. +++ Home Edition. The new "Lifetime License Home" buys you everything the current Pro Edition has -- apart from a handful of advanced features -- at an incredibly low introductory price. .......... XYplorer ver 8.20 ........................................................ v8.20.0031 - 2009-08-31 10:11 ! Thumbnails: Drawing glitch (misalignment, or partly black areas on thumbnails) when changing between thumbnails sizes, e.g. from Thumbnails #1 to #3, or when turning the caching on/off. Fixed. v8.20.0030 - 2009-08-30 19:35 * Updated the help file. v8.20.0029 - 2009-08-29 10:57 ! Dual Pane: When moving/copying a tab to the other pane... - the list settings of the selected tab on the inactive pane were not saved before the drop of the new tab, so unless its settings were saved previously (by switching tabs for instance) they were lost. Fixed. - the inactive pane was not always shaded as expected. Fixed. * Dual Pane | Move/Copy Tab to Other Pane: Now the position of the new tab is the same you'd created it within the same pane, i.e. either right of the current tab, or at the right end of the tab bar -- depending on the setting of "Open new tab next to current" in Configuration | Tabs. * Dual Pane: Now, also when *copying* a tab to the other pane the target pane is activated. Before this was confined to moving a tab. ! Spot'n'Jump: Drawing glitches fixed. v8.20.0027 - 2009-08-28 12:49

+1 from me.
Also, the threshold should be customizable, and possibly even the extension (opening 30 small pdf files isn't as bad as opening 30 long HD videos).

Re: Warn on opening multiple files at once
Hmmm, indeed a dark mystery why/when this has gone. I usually document everything. Well, I will bring it back now.

Re: Warn on opening multiple files at once
Hi all!
I often open a large number of files. How to remove this warning?

Re: Warn on opening multiple files at once
Hi Slavaon, the beta notes for version v15.10.0006 explain how to tweak the number of files allowed to opened at once without receiving the error message.
+ When trying open multiple items at once you now get a warning question if
they are too many, for example:
-----------------------------------
Continue to open 235 items at once?
-----------------------------------
Notes:
- Too many by default is anything > 9. You can tweak this value here:
OpenManyMaxCount=20
Set the tweak to -1 to skip any warning (99999 might do as well).
- The warning is not popped when you open items via the shell context menu.
- FYI, this had been added in v6.20.0008 - 2007-08-26 10:46 but at some
point disappeared mysteriously from the code. Now it's back.
