Save a random order list?

Post by stebobibo »

In XYplorer you can sort files in random order by right clicking > Sort By > Random Order, or ctrl+alt+R. However, when you close XYplorer and re-open, the order goes back to alpha-numerical. How do I save a random order list?
Thank you!

Thanks, Admin. That is just what I needed
Can you answer another related question? Can I add paper folders to a catalog? I've tried this, but I can only either add a link to the text file, a link that opens the text file, or a list of the items in the paper folder that goes to the real files instead of the virtual ones.

Another question is, how can I go to my paper folders other than view>paper folders>open? If I am at the "paper" folder (app data>roaming>XYplorer>paper. I am looking at the text files) is there a way to open them up by clicking them? Because clicking them just opens up the text files.

I'll post these questions as a separate topic also. Thank you!

The naming convention for Paper Folders is "paper:[name]". So the magic prefix "paper:" will solve all your questions. See here:

Thanks again, Admin. That doesn't quite answer those questions, but it does help. Anyways, I've just figured out solutions myself.

At least I could do the following:
1. Open any existing paper folder in any tab of your liking.
2. In the target catalog right click on any category and click on Insert as New Item(s) Here>Current Tab Location to add the folder as a click target.


Cheers, FH
