Support for Portable Devices
Re: Support for Portable Devices
All is fixed now. No more crash at startup with either my Android device or iPhone connected, and connecting or disconnecting these devices causes the tree to update correctly while XYplorer is running.

Re: Support for Portable Devices
I said that based on the fact other users had not replied in this thread since 1 June when I brought it up, and because earlier today when I brought it up again, in this thread, Donald said "I'm not aware of such problems. Works fine here and no such complaints from others."Filehero wrote:14th of September 2015.elqasar wrote:Since 1 June .....
Re: Support for Portable Devices
Knowing how hard it was to come up with this feature I was trying to show some mercy with Don and didn't bother him too much with "my" problem.elqasar wrote:Works fine here and no such complaints from others."
The rest of the "no-complainers" have completely moved to the (unencrypted) cloud, I guess.
Re: Support for Portable Devices
No more crashes so far. Good job!

When trying to reproduce the bugs months ago I had used by phone and my camera, but not my tablet. Phone and camera had no problems. Now yesterday I used the tablet and, bam, the crash! This is surprising because when I originally developed the Portable Devices support I only had the tablet, and never saw the crash. An explanation might be that the crash only comes with the compiled version, but not in my development environment. This is a rare thing to happen, but I have seen it before. Makes the hunt much harder, of course. Well, great that all is good now!!!
PS: Oh, and the nature of this particular crash bug is very exotic. I've never seen this before. It wasn't a coding mistake or a logic flaw, but something wrong deep under the hood of Windows that needed a pretty creative workaround. I feel lucky that I have found it so fast. This could have taken days...

Oh, this was quite a hunt...

I saw one small intermittent glitch when plugging in devices in usb-storage mode, with This PC view visible: the portable drives show up, but I have to put focus on them to get the storage meter/status. Will be on the lookout. Thought I'd let you know.

Re: Support for Portable Devices
Looks like I have to remove this fix. It was too general = too many undesired refreshes.Filehero wrote:No - how does it come you think so?elqasar wrote:Filehero, but are you seeing portable devices appear and disappear correctly in the XYplorer tree on Windows 10?

Currently I see no other way to make the elephants dance again...

Re: Support for Portable Devices
Code: Select all
v17.30.0005 - 2016-11-05 12:52
- Removed a fix from v17.20.0030 - 2016-09-27 21:02: It was too general and
generated too many undesired refreshes of tree and list:
! Portable Devices: On Win10 the automatic refresh on plug in/out did
not work. Fixed.
>>> Tried something experimental in ways of a better fix.
Thanks for trying.
