Paper Folders

[admin]

Yes, everything that does not look like a full path (local or UNC) is just skipped. I don't think you can crash it by malformed input. Good luck.

UTF-16LE BOM ... , but normal ASCII should work as well. Maybe even UTF-8.

Thanks. Very good news. This might turn out even easier than I thought. Cannot test it now, I don't own this software, it's at another location - can't wait to try it out, though.

Confirmed, since some betas there's something odd with columns not being sorted as they should be.

[admin]

Might be better next beta.

OK, I saw it now. Fix comes.

OK, in the meantime you have seen it yourself. Nevertheless here what I have prepared in the meantime...

Unfortunately I can confirm what grindax says for 14.20.0311.

To me it seems trivial to reproduce - with exactly this sequence:

1. Make fresh the hard way (new folder; exes into it).
2. Start XY. Go to a tab with C:\ (or make a tab). Clone this tab to make few of them.
3. Add paper tool button to the tool bar (check "Always show path column" if unchecked, although factory is already on, I think).
4. Configuration > Styles > Apply to... > UNCHECK "Column layout" > OK
5. Close/Exit XY.
6. Using MS File Explorer, create a "Paper" folder under data and create there an empty *.txt file.
7. Start XY anew.
8. Go to one of the tabs with C:\
9. Click on Paper toolbar button > Open > open the paper prepared in step 6.
10. Click on any other tab - they all have the Path column visible (at least at my place ).

We'll see.

BTW, remember that
- Allow Zombies
- Always Show Path Column
- On Delete Remove Items from Paper Folder

are all experimental. I expected such trouble and I might remove them finally.

[Borut]

Well, I find that "Always Show Path Column" is really useful when using papers (provided of course that it would not interfere with other modes), so - in my view - it would be pity not to have it.

[admin]

Well, it will probably stay.

So, ok, after 10 days of hard work, only interrupted by about 60 football games, 14.30 is about to be released! I don't know who else is still in the file manager business (or faking to be), but I think the release of XY 14.30 is a good moment for them to give up and start trying something else.

[Stef123]

1) Open... "pap1.txt"
2) Open... "pap2.txt"
First time around I get the path, second time I don't.

It's worse with 14.20.0312 than with .0308
Before the update the path disappeared on repeated calls of paper files
Now I don't even get the path at all - not until I either toggle it off and on again (right-click menu TB) or enable it from the col-context menu. From then on - same as above - no path on subsequent calls. Switching to a new tab won't help anymore (as it did before)

Stef, sorry for bad luck with your bug. My bug seems indeed to be gone with 312. Thanks Don! Now a bit more hard work for Stef123...
