So this confirms Ruben Keestra.

40
* 9
34

Re: Open files in the same order as sorted in XYplorer
Yes, Sammay. I was not totally sure about your findings. So you can confirm Ruben? If yes, does focus have any influence on the opening order? (I don't think so -- looking at my code it's 100% impossible).

Re: Open files in the same order as sorted in XYplorer
No, my results are not exactly the same as Reuben's I think.
With a direct open operation, files are always opened in the sorted order, irrespective of focus.
But using drag-drop, the focused file is opened first, and the remaining files are in the order as sorted in XYplorer.
However, in RK's case, according to this screenshot, the focused file is opened inbetween the others.
direct open: 40 > 9 > 34.
Apparently the focus-independent open order does not extend to drag-drops yet.

Re: Open files in the same order as sorted in XYplorer
Yes, this is by design. It's necessary because the shell context menu can be shown from the drop context menu, and the shell context menu needs the focused item first:
This does not explain Ruben's issue since he opens by ENTER.
So Ruben is still the only one.
Code: Select all
- Notable exception: When opening multiple files via the shell context
menu, the old behavior has to be continued because the focused file is
expected to control the nature of the menu, and the controlling file has
to be the first file processed for technical reasons. (This might be the
reason why Explorer started this slightly weird behavior in the first
place.)
So Ruben is still the only one.

Re: Open files in the same order as sorted in XYplorer
Actually, I thought about it and I think I can safely change the behavior also for drag-and-drop. Next version...

The focus doesn't make any difference anymore.
Thanks for all the help. I'm curious about the new update!

But you did not drag and drop, right? So the update will make no difference.Ruben Keestra wrote:The focus doesn't make any difference anymore.

Re: Open files in the same order as sorted in XYplorer
Thanks for the new version! The new version has the same behaviour like you said it would. So it's not a solution for me...

Here in the forum, when I say "next version" I mean the next beta version.
